The Boston Globe has an article looking at former WWE star Chris Nowinski's aggressive efforts to research and educate about concussions in sports at this link. I highly advise each and every one of you reading the site to click the line now and read the piece. If there has ever been a performer in this industry that fans should look up to, in my opinion, it should be Nowinski, who has taken a terrible, heart-breaking physical problem (that he continues to suffer from) and focused all of his energy and anger about it into doing something positive and hopefully preventing others from suffering similar problems. That is beyond commendable and for the life of me, I can't fathom why WWE wouldn't support his efforts more from public and financial aspects.
Dusty Rhodes promoted a charity motorcycle run yesterday in Florida, raising over $11,000 for the Tampa Shriners Hospital for Children.
Sylvan Grenier is down training in Ohio Valley Wrestling.
Shawn Spears recaptured the OVW TV title from Cody Rhodes this past Friday in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Houston Chronicle takes a look at King Booker's wrestling school at this link. When Booker was asked about the Benoit tragedy, he commented, ""He was a really good friend of mine. I just really think that he was under a lot of pressure and a lot of stress. Whatever it was, it was just too much for him to bear." I think every wrestler interview for the next five years will feature a question about Benoit. The article features quotes from several of Booker's students about training under the former WCW champion.
Former WCW and WWE star Sean O'Haire is scheduled to fight on 8/17 at the first Global Fighting Championship MMA event in Uncasville, CT. One-time Wrestlemania competitor Butterbean is also scheduled.
