I remember Ted DiBiase, Sr once did an interview years ago, he stated he wouldn't want his sons to be involved in the wrestling business.  Well guess what, all three of his sons are in the business now.
Mike DiBiase is working in NWA in Atlanta, and he resembles his dad, and now Brett & Ted Jr. in FCW.  Ted Jr. is doing very well on WWE TV. (photos are listed in the other Notes & News)

STRANGLEHOLD ON WRESTLER

By SAMUEL GOLDSMITH

Posted: 3:46 am
July 24, 2008

Raging pro wrestler Jim "Sandman" Fullington was sent back to the slammer yesterday after his criminal past prevented his arraignment in Yonkers court.

Fullington is charged with felony assault and criminal mischief after a glass-throwing melee Sunday night at a birthday bash for pro wrestling icon Capt. Lou Albano at La Lanterna restaurant.

He pleaded guilty in the 1980s to two robberies in Pennsylvania, records show.

The convictions forced the judge to kick the arraignment up to a superior court, so Fullington, 45, was sent to jail for a fourth night to await today's scheduled appearance in White Plains Superior court.

WWE Superstar Matt Hardy will be at NYSEG Stadium on August 10th as The WWE returns to Binghamton.  All fans in attendance will have the opportunity to meet the former World Tag Team Champion from noon until 1pm before the Binghamton Mets game against the Connecticut Defenders.

Great seats still remain for August 10th and can be purchased by visiting the NYSEG Stadium Box Office, the Oakdale Mall Store, or by calling 607.723.6387. You can also buy and print your own B-Mets tickets on-line.
