One of my all time favorites.  Shame to hear of his passing.  Hopefully his nephew Court Bauer (formerly of MLW) can carry on his uncle's tradition of being one of the greatest wrestling bookers of all time.  RIP Playboy.

I think Kayfabe Commentaries is going to have another Guest Booker DVD but this time with Gary Hart. Apparently, based on what Sean Oliver wrote on his website, they filmed it on Friday. That will be interesting to hear his perspective on booking.

Indeed it will.  It was apparently the last interview he did before his passing.  He was one of the smartest men when came to booking talents and getting the most out of them in much the same vein that Heyman would do in ECW.
