Stone's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, CUZ I GOT HIGH. Ben's smoking a joint right now? What a guy.. Greene has chosen Linkin Park - In The End as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
