— The Cincinnati Enquirer has an article on former WWE star Rosey taking part in the ABC reality series Fat March. You can read the article at this link. In the show’s press release, Rosey claims that he’s competing in the march from Boston, MA to Washington, DC to lose weight because his girth is the reason why he was released by WWE last year.
