Welcome to the Wrestling Booking Sheet. The Booking Sheet was an online
professional wrestling newsletter which published creative ideas, “booking
plans”, for different scenarios in WCW, ECW and the WWF.
While hardly great literature, The Booking Sheet was entertaining in its own
right. Eventually, when my time grew scarcer and WCW only provided
entertainment of the train wreck sort, the newsletter died.
In the years since the wrestling business itself has grown less and less
entertaining, a prime reason for the plummeting revenues and the survival of
only one major wrestling company in the United States.
Back issues of the newsletter can be found below, feel free to read at your
minds peril. If you have any comments (and no, the newsletter will never
return and the mailing list has long since been deleted) feel free to contact
