Hey Mick -
I've been a fan of yours since I was a 15 year old boy and saw "Mind Games" live in Philadelphia. Following your career closely since then, I've always felt like your books offered unparalleled access into the world of professional wrestling (err, entertainment), but they've also provided an even more poignant and fascinating look into your life outside of wrestling. Strangely, I feel like your my friend every time I open one of your books ... Tietam Brown included. I've even read several of your books on separate summer vacations to the Jersey shore ... again, Tietam Brown included.
I'm not writing you now to say how one of your matches changed my life. I'm not going to ask what it felt like being thrown off and through the Cell, nor do I want to know any real inside scoop on your time with TNA. What changed my life, Mick, is reading "A Sponsor for Alimany" in "Countdown to Lockdown." That chapter brought a tear to my eye, specifically how you described the simples hopes of a mattress, mosquito net, and bag of rice.
Your words moved me to action, and I'm happy to tell you that I sponsored a 10 year old boy named Osman from the Bombali area in Sierra Leone. It's only been a few days since I authorized my annual contribution of $336, but I already feel that this is just the beginning of something that will change my life. Thank you for that, Mick.
Your friend in Philly,
Dustin

Mick, glad 2C it confirmed you will be @ the event with Al... Except we call my current hometown "Niles". TNA called it "Youngstown" when they came here but I've never seen it called "Canton", which is over an hour away.

Wow. Are you just signing at the Denver event, or is this a "special guest appearance" in the ring itself?

No offense, but if there's a facebook like button, it'll be much easier for me to share.
