Thanks for posting it. Honestly, I'm shocked at how low "El Capo de Capos" got as a vote amount and % vs. other Mexican candidates (and, really, overall candidates) and how high Gordienko and Vampiro are, support-wise.

I've been looking around to see if what people thought of the Wladek Zbyszko Bio. I've found nothing. Good or bad. I think readers just skipped it and jumped to the WWE & soma section. --Yohe

I'm going to wait a few months & then post it. Dave edited it and put it in his own words. The form is mine but he also added a few things. I think he took the Wayne Munn story about the boxer being killed, for not jobbing, from my Lewis book. I'll wait until the HOF issue is history & then put it up here & at WC.

I've now done bios on all of the "big four of 1915 to 1922" and pretty much have gone over the same stuff four times. With Jack Curley, maybe it's five times. Time to get a life.

Getting 4 pages in The Observer is kind of a honor. I'm still a mark for the WON & Dave.
