Ladies Arm-Wrestle for Charity in Charlottesville
It's unclear whether creativity or whimsy was running wilder between exercise pals Jennifer Hoyt Tidwell and Jodie Plaisance that November day in 2007, but what resulted was anything but monotonous.
They invented a fantasy sports league in which outrageously dressed, bawdy femmes challenge each other to arm-wrestling matches. Then they dumped the fantasy part...More?

Linda McMahon's 1st Senate Debate Scheduled
Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon is scheduled for her first public debate against Republican Senate opponents Rob Simmons and Peter Schiff on Tuesday at the University of Hartford in Connecticut.
The televised debate featuring the three Senate candidates in Connecticut will focus on key issues in the race and most-likely bring up a few WWE-related topics, especially after a local newspaper in Connecticut is planning a major story on Sunday covering historical steroid & drug abuse in pro wrestling.
The debate will be televised on the local Fox affiliate in Hartford and is sponsored by the Hartford Courant.

Who and Who Should Play Lobo in the Live Action Picture?
Ever since the mention of a Lobo live action film, there has been lot's of speculation regarding who should play the Last Czarnian. Well, this writer has his favorite. After much deliberation, it boils down to this; only a professional wrestler can play the Scourge of the Galaxy. There are many, many actors who could portray the Main Man, in attitude and facial features (think Ron Perlman), but couldn't possibly be in the physical condition (ergo; be ripped) it takes to play the Space-Dolphin Savior. SO, with that being said, who in the professional wrestling world could play the Lobotomizer? Like I stated earlier, I have my favorite, But lets list some of the possibilites.
#1)The Undertaker
#2)Kevin Nash
#3)Dave Batista
#4)Mike Knox or Kane or Abyss
#5 and my personal favorite to play Lobo in the live-action film..............)
Triple H: Paul Levesque has the physique, the size (6'-4"), and most importantly the face!!! Any self-respecting Lobo fan can admit that Bisley's Lobo is probably the best drawn. (although a case can be made for Martin Emonds in my opinion). The first few pages of Lobo's Back will give anybody wishing to see what I mean a perfect example of why Trips would be great for this role. You can also look at his acting, you cannot be successful in Pro Wrestling if you can't act (or "talk" as it may be). The character of Triple H has the persona, and the comedy it would take to pull this off. And the intensity in which Triple H is portrayed would do nothing but help this particular role of "The Baddest Man in the Galaxy"...More?
