DID YOU KNOW... |

the mid-1980s, Douglas was a preliminary wrestler who went by his real name of

MATT HARDY APPEARS ON WXIN FOX-59 |
This past Friday on the Indianapolis FOX affiliate, WXIN-59, a pre-taped segment with Matt Hardy aired. It was VERY short and basically Hardy just said SummerSlam was this Sunday at the Conseco Fieldhouse. He spoke about the ECW World Championship Match that he will be competing in and stated it will be the crowning achievement if he wins. He also mentioned that John Cena will take on Batista and stated this is the first time ever they've wrestled against each other. He said a few tickets have opened up and to catch the show this Sunday. The whole segment lasted about a minute, two minutes at the most. In his e-mail to me on Friday, FOX-59 Sports Director - Chris Hagan, informed me that Hardy will also be on their Sports Sunday program. It airs this Sunday night at 10:35 PM on WXIN-59. |
KOFI KINGSTON & VICTORIA GET WILD |
This past Friday night, WWE Intercontinental Champion, Kofi Kingston and WWE Diva Victoria visited customers at Buffalo Wild Wings in Greenwood, Indiana at a Friday Night SmackDown! viewing party. Presented by Comcast, Victoria and Kingston signed autographs and posed for pictures for hundreds of fans. At one point they stopped and walked over to a nearby table where a young man who suffered a physical and mental ailment was sitting. They signed some pictures for him, posed for a picture with him and allowed him to hold the Intercontinental Championship. Afterwards, the boy was smiling so bright that it would've been confused with the sun. When it was my turn to meet the WWE Superstars, I told Victoria that I feel she is a very talented woman and that I feel WWE should have her in a more prominant role than she is. She thanked me repeatedly and I could see she really appreciated hearing those comments. I wished Kofi the best of luck in his Winners Take All Tag Team Match and then the three of us posed for a picture together. |
