Sadly no, there’s definitely a lot of material that needs to be in an updated version… too many good stories that I didn’t get to include.. but @rjcity.bsky.social does have an open invitation to guest lecture in my classes

Interviewed 20 wrestlers (including Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Ethan Page, & RJ City) and went to 12 live shows in the summer of 2016 so I could write my dissertation on the performance of the heel in wrestling, got myself a PhD and a job out of it.

Some days you have an amazing class, other days someone rips a sign with your name and office hours off your door and tears it up. Sometimes that’s the same day.

@sheaserrano.bsky.social is here now so everything is fine.

Introduce yourself with some jobs you have done apart from what you do now

1. Busser/dishwasher
