WWE catching on with Lycos users, WWE/Fear Factor rerun, more
    Submitted by William Martinez on Wednesday, June 26, 2002 at 1:12 AM EST

  • According to data compiled by Lycos.com, 59% of wrestling fans are searching for World Wrestling Entertainment material by entering the initials "WWE" rather than "WWF". While this may not seem that substantial, it is considering that two months ago, only 12.5% of fans were searching using the proper initials.

  • Steve Austin made Lycos 50 history this week by being the first living male wrestler to crack the list as he finished at #18. I say living because Davey Boy Smith made the list the week he passed away. The only others associated with the wrestling business in the past are Chyna, Sable and Trish Stratus.

    Raw 11.29.99 - Stephanie McMahon & Test's Wedding

    Tonight on Fox Sport Net's 'The Best Damn Sports Show Period' The Rock was involved in a skit were two kids played Rock, Paper, Scissors. The boy picks rock and wins. The Rock comes in to congradulate him. The next game the girl picks scissors and wins, The Rock comes out and says rock never loses and he's the winner. It wasn't very funny.
