The Rock and his wife Dany Garcia Johnson donated $2 million to Miami University (where they both went to school and first met each other) to name the living room of the new alumni center "The Dany and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Living Room." The Rock's wife Dany is a founder of the wealth management firm JDM Partners and is also on the Miami Board of Trustees. Rock joked at the ceremony that he would only donate $1 million if the Miami Hurricanes college football team lost their next game. They went on to win that game 50-10 over Florida A&M.

Nothing yet has been officially decided regarding Jake "The Snake" Roberts and TNA. He and the company have both pitched ideas for his potential role in the company. Roberts won't be an active wrestler but is willing to be an on-air manager type. Like a lot of potential moves in TNA, Roberts chances of getting his way improve if the company does expand to a two-hour format for iMPACT!. Also, TNA's slumping ratings has caused a sense of desperation amongst decision-makers in the company.

A promoter in Hidalgo, Texas has expressed interest in having a TNA house show at their Dodge Arena in October. WWE always does big business there and consider it one of their hottest small markets in the country.
