Congratulations to Tim Hornbaker on receiving the James C. Melby Award for journalism at the Tragos-Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame (Dan Gable Museum) last night in Waterloo, IA. An amazing writer, researcher, and historian. Great respect! @tnthof @timhornbaker

Four Melby Award winners @TNTHOF on July 18 - with Al Getz, Tom Burke and @TimHornbaker. Researchers of a feather and history recorded. @BrianRSolomon @GreatBrianLast
Book Recommendation: Steven Verrier and Richard Vicek wrote an important biography entitled, "Wilbur Snyder: The World's Most Scientific Wrestler." This was a story that needed to be told. Snyder's career has often been overlooked and this great book sets the record straight.
Book Recommendation: "Bigger Better Badder: WrestleMania III and the Year It All Changed" by Keith Elliot Greenberg, a fantastic writer and historian. I've admired Keith's work for years. This is a great book and I highly recommend it. Give it a read! @keithegreenbeeg
I'm honored to be named the 2025 recipient of the Jim Melby Award from the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame. Joining the other great historians who have received this award, I am greatly appreciative, and I look forward to meeting everyone next July in Waterloo.
