Robin mentioned that she can't see Chyna as actress because she can't figure out what role(s) would she play. Howard brought up Herman Munster and Maude are two roles she fits. Robin closed by mentioning that Vince owns the name Chyna and she must go by Joanie Laurer.

Wrestling ====================================================================== Article//============================================================= Mongo kicked out of baseball game Former WCW wrestler and Chicago Bears defensive tackle Steve McMichael sang "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch at Chicago's Wrigley Field and alluded to a bad call saying, "I'll have a speech with that home plate umpire after the game." McMichael was then ejected from the press box. "Yeah (McMichael) brought a little WWF to our game tonight. That's what he does, but you can't have that at a baseball game. That's just not right," said Colorado starter Denny Neagle. "The comments that were made by the individual were inappropriate," Cubs general manager Andy MacPhail said. "The umpires had every right do what they did in this game. However, I didn't know that he was going to be ejected until after the game. That was something the umpires had security make sure of. I will meet with my marketing director tomorrow and hopefully we will come up with the appropriate action to take."
