| February 18, 2007 Ring of Honor has a new world champion. Last night in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Takeshi Morishima defeated Homicide for the title. The International Fight League is coming to Atlanta’s Gwinnett Center on February 23. Click here for an article on the league and event from the Sunday Paper. NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield, who drives for Bill Davis Racing in the number 36 Toyota Camry, failed to qualify for today’s Daytona 500. However, keep your eyes on him this season, as the 360 OTC sponsored car sports a WWE decal on the rear quarter panel. There are still spots open for next Saturday’s Nashville Wrestling Camp in Tennessee, with WWE’s Director of Developmental Talent Mike Bucci (a/k/a Simon Dean). The session begins at 9 AM CT, and the cost is $225. For more information on how you can participate, email championship7@aol.com. An interesting bit of history is being auctioned on eBay. There are about four days – as of this writing – left to bid on a 1954 yearbook from Bruno Sammartino’s junior year at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Schenley High School. Click here to view the item. I am still looking for help in contacting Sean Evans. If you can help, please have him email me. I sent an email to him, but he has not responded. Many people have been inquiring about his health, and I would like to be able to update everyone. Today marks one week to go for the charity ride to help the Wayne Harrell (a/k/a Jim Nelson and Boris Zhukov) family. Click here for info on the event. If you have never attended the Gulf Coast Wrestling Reunion, scheduled for March 2-3 in Mobile, Alabama, and would like to know how you can, please email Percy Pringle.

If you are unsure of your eligibility, Percy will be able to make that determination.
