Update on Lennox Lewis working with WWE, WWA promoting Kiss concert Submitted by Matthew Tremley on Tuesday, October 29, 2002 at 10:23 PM EST
As many of you know, there have been stories going around about the WWE trying to work out some sort of deal to bring in Lennox Lewis. There were rumors going around that the WWE wanted to have Lewis fight Brock Lesnar but Lennox's business manager Adrian Ogun shot down those rumors and stated that if Lewis and the WWE do work together, Lewis would be in a special enforcer role only, much like Mike Tyson was at Wrestlemania 14.
However, the stories about the WWE wanting Lewis to actual fight won't go away. BoxingInsider.com reported on their website on October 25th that Vince McMahon had been in contact with the Nevada State Athletic Commision. The proposal that was brought up was a possible hybrid PPV in which Lewis would take on Lesnar while Kurt Angle would take on Michael Moorer on the show's undercard.
The reports from BoxingInsider.com also said that McMahon wanted Angle & Lesner to get trained up to fight Lewis & Moore and was looking into getting either Don Frye or Ken Shamrock to help out.

WWA Promoter Andrew McManus is promoting the KISS Symphony concert.
Here is the press release:
The idea for the event came from the office of promoter Andrew McManus, who toured the band in Australia 18 months ago.
"Once the idea came to us and we presented it to the band, they were in all guns blazing from day one. This will be undoubtedly one of the most incredible concerts Australia has ever seen and will reach fans all over the world, " McManus said. "On their last tour we sold more KISS tickets in Melbourne than in any other city, and that combined with the faciilities at the Telstra Dome led to the decision to hold the concert in Melbourne."
The marriage of KISS music and the Melbourne Symphony which we will hear on February 28 will be the result of months of work by conductors, arrangers and musicians, which begins shortly.
At today's press conference, 14 members of the Melbourne Symphony performed two songs "I Was Made For Loving You" and "I Wanna Rock'n'Roll All Night". Adorned with full KISS makeup whilst they played, it was a spectacular moment and an appetising teaser of what is to come!
Trevor Green, Managing Director Melbourne Symphony, said "KISS SYMPHONY is a fantastic opportunity for the Melbourne Symphony to demonstrate its versatility, broaden its appeal and reach a different audience. This is an exciting collaboration that will produce lots of energy and a big sound. We are thrilled to be involved with this international event. "
The Melbourne Symphony has performed with Elton John, John Farnham, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and the Three Tenors and is acclaimed internationally.
The legendary KISS army fans from around the world are already making plans to travel to Melbourne for KISS SYMPHONY.
