"The 'Final Bell' is a collection of Mike’s best eulogies for the biggest names in the business upon their passing. It’s equal parts emotionally raw, revelatory, amusing, and borderline shocking." - Reviewer Stuart Monroe getonmydamnlevel.com/blog/2019/6/19… getonmydamnlevel.com/blog/2019/6/19…
New York Times bestselling author and National Wrestling Hall of Famer Mike Mooneyham was "devastated" Thursday when he heard the news of Hulk Hogan's death. abcnews4.com/news/local/new…
No voice more authoritative on wrestling than famed author, wrestling columnist and National Wrestling Hall of Famer @ByMikeMooneyham — I chatted with the James Islander today about the impact and loss of Hulk Hogan as well as Hogan’s appearances in the lowcountry.
Hulk Hogan defined a generation in professional wrestling. Largely responsible for the national expansion and transformation of the industry in the mid-'80s. A truly immortal career.

Love that you’ve been dedicated for all these years. Hope to see many more.
Indeed it is...It's what we live for in terms of what he has illustrated in his experience as the best writer to do It of all time. Amazing piece of work but it has been ongoing for years at his helm there in Charleston, SC! No one could do it better.
Oh, indeed! I read all you did on him, Mike. I wish I had been older back then to see so many like you did and with the Book it was amazing to read but the Columns and series are what I picked up most and so fantastic!
