ROCK SAYS HE'S GETTING 'FURIOUS' SPINOFF, RVD TALKS, BIG WEEKEND IN CALI AND MORE

Online now in the PWInsider Elite section is a new interview with Rob Van Dam discussing his appearances at Wrestlecon for Legends of the Ring, why he's so impressed with the event, his thoughts on the insanity that now sprouts up around Wrestlemania, all the side projects he's working on (and there's about a million), whether these projects take away from his passion for the business or rejuvenate it, where his head is regarding the business right now, choosing to walk away from every major promotion, whether Triple H running WWE hurts his chances of returning there, thoughts on Triple H, getting to wrestle Jerry Lynn again, Lynn's retirement, thoughts on Booker T being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, why he feels being a non-conformist has hurt him in the business, the idea that the Internet thinks RVD is "too old" to wrestle, a conversation he once had with Bruce Prichard about stepping up in WWE, the era of his career he gets recognized the most from, why he thinks Paul Heyman utilized him better as an asset than anyone else, why there is still a fascination with ECW, reuniting with Sabu, why people should stop trying to recreate it and tons more!

The Rock has been making the promotional rounds for the new "Fast & Furious" film and noted a spinoff film for his character is in the works:

Rock is currently bulking up for his role as Hercules, which he will shoot after Wrestlemania. Ian McShane and Joseph Fiennes have both signed on for the picture as well, which is being directed by Brett Ratner.

Tommy Dreamer announced that due to the amount of fake accounts out there, he has launched an official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheTommyDreamer.

The GLOW documentary aired earlier this week on the LOGO Network. It's a damn great documentary, much better than you will expect going in. There's some really touching stuff with Mt. Fiji. The film will be released on DVD on 3/26.
