Enjoying the A&E wrestling bios, the one about Booker T. started out strong, but seemed like the last half hour was just filler. Interesting that the Stone Cold one had very little from his family, seemed that he completely abandoned his kids while Piper tried as best he could.
I missed the one about Steve Austin, I'll have to go back and check it out.
Agree that the one about Booker T started out strong but fizzled out a bit towards the end.

The fact that Booker made it through the incredibly dire circumstances of his childhood is amazing. The segment about him and his brother turning a racist crowd around to actually cheering for them, and eventually becoming the top faces in the territory was a testament to the effectiveness that pro wrestling can have when done correctly.
100% agree about both of those things, too.
The episode about Roddy Piper was good. I did not know that he wore a kevlar-lined jacket because he had been stabbed by fans on three different occasions.
The one about Warrior was good. Did anyone else get a creepy vibe from the guy billed as "Warrior Biographer"? Something about his face, tone of voice, and how he frequently sat with his fingers tented gave off a potential serial killer or sex offender vibe.
