-Former WCW wrestler Van Hammer was interviewed by Kevin Eck of the Baltimore Sun. The first and second parts of the interview focus on how he fell into the business and received a push from the start. The third part of the interview focusses on his substance abuse issues, how he hit rock bottom, yet still lived to talk about it unlike many of his friends in the industry. All three parts are available at BaltimoreSun.com.

-ISPW will be crowning a new champion in a Royal Rumble style match on Saturday in Freehold, N.J. Crowbar, Nunzio, and Balls Mahoney are among the wrestlers on the show. For more information, check out ISPWLive.com.

Powell's POV: For younger fans who aren't familiar with Hammer, he was given a push as a rocker in WCW. As for ISPW, champion Danny Inferno retired as champion at a previous show, so they are holding the Summer Rumble to determine the new champion.
