Tristan sent this in: I just thought I'd point out that John Cena is not the only one apparently wanting Cena/Rock to happen. In the latest issue of WWE Magazine, in their fantasy match-up section, there is a page hyping a John Cena/Rock match. They go on to say "It could still happen!"
Drew Wilson sent this in: I thought I'd bring it to your attention that on WWE.com the headline for the Sheik and Destroy article that is up right now says "'WWE.com's Legacy Moment of the Week' highlights the gimmick battle royal from Wrestlemania X-Seven a match that saw Doink the Clown, Hillbilly Jim, and Papa Shango among others, until only one "Iron" man remained." (Meaning The Iron Shiek of course) The part that I found interesting was that Papa Shango (Charles Wright) was not present in this match or in any of his incarnations for that matter. As a matter of fact he was in a six man tag match earlier that night as The Goodfather in Right to Censor. Thought I would point out this WWE "botch."
