For those that asked, Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA was not damaged by the Earthquake over the weekend. Our best wishes to anyone out there that is dealing with the repercussions of the quake. Thanks to Chuck Carroll.

Director Michael Elliot, who helmed documentaries on Jim Crockett Promotions, Harley Race and The Rock N' Roll Express in the last several years, is now working on a film on the life of former WWWF champion Ivan Koloff. When you think about it, it's pretty ridiculous that Koloff hasn't been added to the WWE Hall of Fame yet given his place in history as the man that ended Bruno Sammartino's first title run. They are hoping to raise $4,500 and are close to $2,000 already. For more, click here.

Speaking of Kickstarter campaign, Kenny Casanova, who is co-writing the Kamala book, emailed a thank you to PWInsider readers as they raised over $2,000 in the first day and are well past $7,000 already.
