The Rock’s Birthday

Today, May 2 is The Rock’s 45th birthday.

House of Horrors

As has been widely mentioned, the actual “House of Horrors” that was used at Payback was actually in Richmond, MO and was listed for sale at $36,000. You can check out its listing here.

WWE apparently bought the house just so they could use it for the match, according to PWInsider. The segment was also shot “several weeks back” after a WWE house show in Missouri. Like lots of people pointed out, it was night time at the House of Horrors despite it being daylight in San Jose where Payback took place.
