I'd be down with it.
His matches with the Von Erichs against the Freebirds in World Class are worth a shot. Depending on your tolerance for blood, his Puerto Rico stuff is good too.
I hear Thomas Hall's KB Wrestling Reviews series is good. Other than that, you can't go wrong with Foley's books. JR's book is good though it feels like the first half of a better one. If you want history, Tim Hornbaker is as good as I've ever seen. Hardcore Holly's book is surprisingly interesting.
In WWE, I believe so yes.
I wouldn't say scared but they seem to be cutting them off in advance, which is smart.
