Four separate experiments, observing the OZI forbidden disconnected reaction pi- p -> phi phi n with increasing statistics were consistent. These experiments very selectively completely broke down the OZI suppression by 3 phi phi resonances with IG JPC = 0+ 2++ in the observed mass region 2.038 to 2.600 GeV. The only viable proposed explanation has been that the IG JPC = 0+ 2++ Glueball expected in this mass region caused the hard glue in the disconnection to resonate and very selectively breakdown the OZI suppression for its quantum numbers only. Recently a p p central production spin analysis found the f2(1950) had a dominant decay mode f2(1270) pi pi. We consider if it is related to the phi phi resonances, and find that it likely is.
