For those who have not heard, a good friend of mine – Matt Riviera – is currently 2-1/2 weeks into a stint on VH1′s “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” a reality TV show in which 17 12 bachelors compete for the love and affection of one Megan Hauserman (VH1′s Rock of Love). What’s Bret Michaels’ loss is clearly Matt’s gain! So cheer him on, Sunday nights, 9 PM EST.

From a personal point of view, Matt is a really nice guy, and I wish him nothing but the best of luck. I know he’s an underdog in the competition, but it’s been great to see our friendship grow these last two years. This is a great opportunity for a great guy to get some great publicity. Just great…

And, if you’re interested in learning more, his VH1 cast bio is about 2/3 of the way down. The bio for his site is still coming, as he’s been waiting for me to finish it for him for several months now. (DOH!)

And if you’d like to read the story I wrote about Matt more than two years ago, for the wrestling mag, here it is, in all its glory: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dg5cxqs6_60c5hn9b

(editor’s note: Recent developments have resulted in this show’s removal from VH1′s TV schedule, and now all of VH1′s links point to the official announcement.)
