It was previously reported that a DVD set on The Rock would be released in June. This will actually be a new project and not a re-release of an old video. The DVD set will be called “The Rock’s Greatest Matches” and it will be a three disc set.

A video feature on Torrie Wilson appeared on the WTTG’s 10 P.M. broadcast of Fox 5 News (Washington D.C. affiliate) on Sunday night. The interview took place at a Tampa-based tanning salon she owns (along with Billy Kidman). Torrie talked about being bulimic when she was a teenager. She also talked about her wrestling career. Also, there was no mention made of the RAW show in D.C. the next day.
