- Fabelover passed this article along from The Asylum: Wrestler Marlena Can't Sell Home, Now Giving It to Charity What do you do if you're a former pro wrestling star who can't unload your Gainesville, Fla. spread on a housing market that's knee-deep in the gator tank? You create a charity to change the world and a contest to give away your house. That's right, if you have $200 and an idea to "change the world" you can write about your dreams to Marlena (or as we like to call her, Terri Lynne Boatright Runnels). One lucky winner will get her house plus $100,000 to change the world. Before you balk at the entrance fee, take a gander at Marlena's four-bedroom, three-bath spread with over-size Jacuzzi bathtub, hardwood flooring, tiled garage and custom-made pool. Of course, don't let the thought of inhabiting that delicious peach-filled interior stop you from focusing on your desire to make the earth a better place. You might consider sending those two C-notes to Habitat for Humanity, but then you'd just be focused on changing the world rather than changing the world and getting a free house. (And if anyone from the IRS is reading, we're kinda interested in hearing what you have to say about this giveaway for charity that only costs $200 to enter.)
- Richie Steamboat, son of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat worked his first independent match over the weekend. He has been training under George South.
- Randy Orton was nominated for "Best Villain" at the Nickelodeon UK Kids Awards.
- The poster for the WWE Unforgiven PPV in September features Shawn Michaels. Whether or not this means he will be returning around this time remains to be seen.

WrestleMania VII was moved from the Rose Bowl to the Sports Arena in Los Angeles because Vince McMahon feared a sniper might try and take out lead heel Sgt. Slaughter, playing the role of a Iraqi sympathizer during the Gulf War.
