-Mainstream Newspaper article titled: WWE stars thrill Capetonians. Excerpt: "They came in their droves both young and old to catch a glimpse of their superstars. But not the film or music stars that one would expect. Instead Capetonians braved the cold to see the world's best entertaiment wrestlers battle it out in the World Wrestling Entertainment Summer Slam Tour at the Bellville Velodrome Wednesday night." [Thanks to PWTorch.com reader Robert Taylor]

-Nick "U-Gene" Dinsmore, formerly Eugene, is available for bookings. If interested, contact Integrity Bookings at TalentRelations@integritybookings.com. Their note: "Integrity Bookings is pleased to announce their newest client addition: Eric Bischoff's Favorite Nephew, Nick "U-Gene" Dinsmore! U-Gene is currently available through Integrity Bookings for autograph sessions, pro wrestling matches, and pro wrestling clinics. Fresh off of WWE TV, U-Gene is very much looking forward to meeting and greeting with fans at all kinds of great venues around the country. Events such as Wrestling Clinics can be booked as a package in conjunction with same-day live shows."

-A WWE-branded video game accessory line was announced today. The following is the press release:

>Millions of World Wrestling Entertainment fans across the United States will now be able to customize their favorite systems thanks to a new lineup of video game accessories from Game On. Officially licensed from the WWE®, Game On's 2007 lineup includes the PS2 Wireless Controller and PS2 Slim Skin, as well as the Xbox 360 Faceplate and Skin Bundle, and Wii Skins and Wii Remote Gel Skins.

"We are thrilled to be working with World Wrestling Entertainment on expanding their brand into the video game accessories market and doing so with such high-quality products," said John Ma, CEO of Game On. "Our inaugural lineup is a great way to accessorize today's popular gaming systems, and does so at an attractive price-point."

"World Wrestling Entertainment is delighted to add Game On to our heralded list of licensees and expand our consumer products portfolio with the latest in video game accessories," adds Florence Di Giorgio, Senior Director, WWE Global Licensing. "These products featuring WWE Superstars are sure to be a big hit this holiday season."

Game On's PS2 Wireless Controller features the muscle and might of Batista and Undertaker as they prepare players to unleash cordless mayhem from up to 25 feet away. Complete with rapid fire and turbo buttons, the PS2 Wireless Controller's Double-Shock vibration system lets fans feel every clothesline, chair shot and bodyslam.

For a customized look, WWE fans and video game fanatics can decorate their PS2, Xbox 360 or Wii console with their favorite WWE Superstars, such as WWE Champion John Cena, Triple H, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, or sultry WWE Divas like Ashley, Maria and Candice Michelle. Game On's PS2 Slim Skin, Xbox 360 Faceplate and Skin Bundle, and Wii Skins and Wii Remote Gel Skins allow fans to peel and re-apply skins as desired, so they collect and trade with their friends.
