WWE stars wrestle up some Sandy aid

PROFESSIONAL wrestling joined with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Hollywood celebrities and professional athletes to launch Superstars for Sandy Relief.

Fans bid on hundreds of items in an online auction, including attending a NASCAR race with WWE wrestling superstar John Cena, meeting Tyra Banks on the set of "America's Next Top Model," and pitching entrepreneurial ideas to Mark Cuban.

The auction began yesterday and closes on April 9 on charitybuzz.com.

WWE is based in Stamford, Connecticut. The storm last October left millions of people without heat or electricity for weeks in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.

Paul Levesque, WWE executive vice president, says he can't think of a better way to celebrate WWE's annual WrestleMania event than using the group's global reach to assist those in need. WrestleMania will be held on April 7 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

There will also be a Superstars for Sandy Relief reception at Cpriani Wall Street in New York City on April 4, hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs.
