    Tsn.ca's wrestling section recently posted a feature that fans going to tsn.ca's wrestling site had voted on over the course of a month.

    The top 30 moments in wrestling history. It's very well researched, and a good read.

    The following comes from David Rosenberg, who writes the Wrestling Angle for The Daytona Beach News-Journal. This week David goes into detail about all past WWE world champions as to whether they shined or tarnished the title. Every title reign, no matter how short, is looked at.

    Also, the Jacksonville Jaguars-Dallas Cowboys NFL preseason game will pre-empt WWE Smackdown on UPN-65 until Sunday night at 9 p.m. -- at least in the Daytona Beach, Florida, area, and probably most of the state of Florida.

In Guido's first match ever in XPW, he will face XPW rookie sensation Altar Boy Luke and a man he once knew in ECW, "Vicious" Vic Grimes.
