The Rock losing weight to help with his movie career, Summerslam buyrate

• It looks like the Rock has been doing a bit of dieting, as it's being reported that "The People's Champion" now weighs around 215-220 pounds. The main reason for the weight loss appears to be that Rock didn't want to overshadow his co-stars on screen with his size. Thus, he slimed down just enough to keep his action hero persona intact.
  
  
• Summerslam 2003 looks to have pulled in a buyrate of .74 (around 395,000 buys), which is up from the original estimate of 370,000 buys. However, despite beating the estimate, this would be the second worst buyrate for a Summerslam since the 1996 event.
