John Woodworth sent this in: Yet another story about Travis Hafner of the Cleveland Indians and the WWE. During a promotion during an Indians game on September 15, all fans will get a Travis Hafner Bobblehead hoisting a WWE championship belt. Here's a link to the main story: click here.

Daniel Stephenson sent this in: I was at the World of Wheels in Calgary (on Sunday). Rey Mysterio was there signing autographs (as advertised), and the line was huge. I didn't wait, but someone I was there with did and said it was over 2 and a half hours, but that Rey was a very good sport, shook hands, took pictures, etc. I was also surprised to find Virgil there. He ran his own little booth, and charged $20 for a laminated photo that he would sign. He wasn't hired by the show to attract visitors, but he was running his own independent both, like any other exhibitor.
