WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog at JRsBarBQ.com, which you can read here in its entirety. Some highlights:
WrestleMania Ticket Sales: "This is NOT official but I hear out of Arizona that the first day of ticket sales for WM26 saw between 35-40,000 tickets sold. This is not WWE info therefore it isn't official. Might be a little low or a little high. But I'm guessing that it is close. As an idependent business man and dealing with the economy daily, those numbers seem strong to me. I think the event is slated for approximately 72,000 seats. Perhaps the official numbers will be updated this week.
Fedor Needs a Manager:If I were CBS I would hire Fedor an English speaking manager. One who could do media and get people talking. Any challenger of Fedor cannot be a sucker and be obligated to do most of the press because Fedor is Russian. If the TV rating is decent it will be fun to see if a major network can build a MMA star.
Jeff Hardy Keeping Quiet: "Smart move by Jeff Hardy keeping mum and not talking to any of the media. Jeff must have a helluva lawyer.
