    Submitted by William Martinez on Monday, August 20, 2001 at 9:08 PM EST

    - The Rock was on Access Hollywood earlier this evening to discuss the birth of his daughter Simone. The Rock recalled that he was very uncomfortable being in the delivery room while his wife Dany was undergoing a c-section. The Rock also stated that he had a new respect for mothers after seeing what his wife went through during labor.

    - On the subject of Rock television appearances, the Teen Choice Awards aired earlier tonight on FOX. As you know, The Rock won the award for "Choice Sleazebag" for his role in The Mummy Returns. During his acceptance speech, The Rock thanked the voters and stated that if everyone thought he laid the smackdown this year, then just wait until next year, obviously referring to the release of The Scorpion King.




    - The WWF is organizing a September 3rd "Thank You, Toronto" rally in Toronto, Ontario. The rally is to thank Toronto fans for strong ticket sales for the September 3rd and 4th back-to-back Raw and Smackdown in the city. However, due to the fact that Vince McMahon is scheduled to speak, speculation has risen that McMahon will officially announce Wrestlemania 2002 in Toronto.

    - Despite what was reported earlier, HWA does not have a television deal with the FOX affiliate in Cincinnati but rather with the one in Dayton, Ohio. The show will start airing in early September. As far as Cincinnati goes, HWA is in negotiations to bring the television show to the city's WB affiliate.
