We want to hear from you, so be ready to share! Also joining SVD and myself will be Survivor contestant and actress Jerri Manthee, ECW original Francine, Neil Kaplan and Sabu, to name a few. We've all had so much fun with RVD RADIO over the last several weeks. My blogs have to share the outlet position for my life pondering now. We've talked about so many topics from government conspiracies to holiday seasons, organized religion to language censorship. Last week, we had Sabu, Fonzie (Bill Alfonso)-that's right, Daddy, Kid Kash, "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters, of course SVD, and our official RVD RADIO law representative Officer X all talking about Road Rage. Lots of stories!"
Donruss/Playoff Inc. has released a set of trading cards featuring "Legends" from various sports including professional wrestling. Among the wrestlers featuring in the trading card set include Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, Ric Flair and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. The trading set featurs autographs from Ultimate Warrior and Beefcake. "Ultimate Warrior is as big as it gets and he had never signed autographs before," said Donruss PR specialist Scott Prusha. "We did his first certified autographed card (Americana 1). His significance in professional wrestling ranks very high, I think he's number three or four all-time." Beefcake signed cards with three different inscription variations, including "Wrestlemania", "The Barber" and "Hulk's Brother."
