FoxSports.com now has an interview up with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. In the interview, The Rock talks about the current drug ring scandal within professional wrestling, Chris Benoit, and more. Here is what he had to say on the drug ring scandal:
"Clearly, there has to be an aggressive educational program put in place," he said. "These guys have to be armed with the knowledge and understanding of how bad these drugs are and the dangers of mixing these drugs with the lifestyle they lead." Johnson said he used steroids entering his freshman year at the University of Miami, but not as a pro wrestler. "When I got into the wrestling business, I never cared about being the biggest guy. I just wanted to be the most entertaining."
-- Even though WWE has had a horrible week, WWE stock closed at $15.15 a share. This is up from $14.80 that it closed at yesterday.
-- John Cena will be doing an autograph session at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, NC on September 15th.

Kurt Angle is currently in the process of brokering a deal between Brock Lesnar and TNA. Brock has already met with Dixie Carter, but Angle has a good history of manipulating him, as he did with their match in Japan a few weeks ago.
Lesnar, now 265 pounds, and not near the physical looking monster he was in WWE, is not wanting to hurt his body and still really wants to work MMA (as noted earlier he was at UFC's Respect last week). Angle is trying to convince him that he will be able to run his own schedule, make a good income, and have far less travel than what WWE required.
TNA is willing to give him time off to train for MMA fights, but the way things are going now, it's really not something you can do part time.
