I always come here every year." There are traditional dances, music and colorful clothing. Amazing food. CBS And the opportunity to learn something you might not know about neighbors. Ivan Castro loved bringing his kids and he says this year was especially meaningful to be here. "Now times are a little hard so it's a good time everybody comes together and get to know their cultures and get to know other cultures, see how much immigrants give back to the U.S," said Castro. Global Fest is a reminder that everyone has a story. And has a reason they've come to live in a country seeking something better. CBS Invested in what they're building here, but never forgetting where they've come from. Anita Schumann was performing with the Hora Romaneasca Folk Dance group, and said, "My mom grew up under Communists, my Dad grew up under the Nazis and they always have taught me to be grateful for this country and for the freedoms and the beauty that is here.

Booker T Makes Bold Prediction Regarding R-Truth's WWE Return
Booker T believes WWE could go all in with R-Truth (Ron Killings) in the coming months. On the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, NXT commentator Booker T spoke about WWE bringing back R-Truth, who is now going by the name Ron Killings. Booker predicts the company could make a big move by making him the World Heavyweight Champion. Advertisement 'You know what I see? I see Ron Killings winning the World Heavyweight Championship,' Booker T said. 'How crazy would that be? You know what? It would shake up the whole world. It'll be the biggest thing since, you know, perhaps putting the title on Mick Foley, WCW, that night, you know, when everybody changed the channels to watch Mick Foley win… It could be unbelievable.' [H/T: There is a mystery spot in next week's Men's King of the Ring match on RAW. While WWE could put Truth in that spot, it's probably not the most likely choice.

WWE Hall Of Famer Believes Evolution 2 Should Be A Two-Night Event
This past Monday Night on Raw, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella made her return to WWE. During her promo, she put over the return of the All Women's Premium Live Event, Evolution. This will be the second edition of the PLE. A WWE Hall of Famer recently mentioned that he believes that the Evolution 2 Premium Live Event should be a two-night event, and for good reason. Advertisement The above-mentioned WWE Hall of Famer is none other than Booker T. During the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, he shared that since the women's rosters on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT are stacked, it makes perfect sense for the event to take place for two nights. 'It might have to be a two-night event because we got that much talent, the roster's stacked. I mean, it's got to be at least 20 matches,' Booker T said. 'I'm loving it, you know. I mean, like you said, we've been asking for this for a long time. I think the ladies deserve this.' [H/T He also mentioned that having an all-women's Premium Live Event does not mean that the guys are not as important. He sees this as an opportunity for WWE to show how strong it's women's division is. Advertisement 'I don't think it's taken away from the shine from the guys to let the ladies go out there and have that one night only,' he stated. 'I think it's only fitting for the talent that we have on that roster, just to show how big the women's division really is, from a star power perspective, as far as you know, how they could go out there and draw the house just like everybody else… It's not a contest between Raw and SmackDown, it's a contest between the men and women.'
