    - I caught Late Night with Conan O'Brien earlier tonight and he had actor Kevin Pollack on the show. During the interview, Pollack pointed out that The Mummy Returns started the big summer blockbusters and said that the movie will make a star out of The Rock. Pollack then said he had two words of advice for The Rock, Hulk Hogan.

    Today at 6:00-8:30, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase was at Leigh Family Fun park in Scranton, PA. Autographs where given with any donation to The Million Dollar Man's charitry. He was very nice to meet, he told us that the biggest egos in wrestling were Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Vince and Shane-O-Mac, "Stone Cold used to be nice but now that hes famous he's all about the money and fame" Shawn Micheals used to be one of the biggest egos, but now he has calmed down and now he is a good family man. When asked about Hulk Hogan, he said his ego is blown out of porportion and really he is one of the best guys backstage and one of the smartest in the business. We also asked him about his favorite matches and he said all of his favorites matches were before the WWF, because they were about the wrestling not his gimmick, but his favorite match in the WWF was vs. the Macho Man at Wrestlemania 4. The Million Dollar Man now has a wrestling fed but most of it is about helping kids. All and all The Million Dollar Man was a nice guy and signed everyones photos ect. he put at the bottom of every autograph with "John 3:16" and felt Austin is mocking the scriptures.

    In today's Roanoke Time's Extra section, there is an ad for an upcoming New River Valley Speedway race. They are advertising that Hardcore Holly will be there signing autographs and actually racing in the 100 lap Late Model Stock Car Race. The date is June 30th for the race and Hardcore Holly will be signing autographs at 6PM.

    --For the people who thought that those autographed photos of Lizzy Borden weren't worth the price, well ExtremeAssociates.com has your answer! Extreme Associates has released two different Lizzy Borden topless 8x10 photos that can be personally autographed to you for a small price. [Censored photos of these 8x10's are available by clicking here]

    --XPW is planning on releasing another DVD soon, this time XPW's First Anniversary show "Go Funk Yourself." "GFY" was held last July at the Los Angeles Sports Arena and featured Terry Funk vs. Sabu for the XPW World Championship Title.

    --For all the old school XPW fans, look for Guido Mancini to make his come back to XPW at Rapture! Guido says on his website that he is coming back, but he also said that about "Redemption." The only way we'll find out if this is a publicity stunt by Guido is by waiting for Rapture on July 7th at The Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles.

    --The publisher of "Wrestling World" Magazine is seriously considering changing his magazine around, so the main focus is not extreme and hardcore wrestling. All XPW fans out there, I want you to send a nice little email asking the publisher to keep XPW in the magazine as a major subject! His email address is: atuller@sterlingmacfadden.com.

    Win a 6-Hour Best of Steve Austin Tape!
