News on Cena’s Movies, Batista’s Retirement & WrestleMania 25

News

John Cena is expected to be filming another movie in June and July, although details about the project are not yet known. Renny Harlin, producer of 12 Rounds, has talked about doing a sequel to that movie should it perform well at the box office.

In a recent interview during a publicity tour in the Philippines, Batista said that he felt like he had about one year left in the wrestling business and wanted to finish that year on a high.

WrestleMania 25 has now grossed over $6 million in advanced ticket sales, which makes it the largest official gate in North American wrestling history (and MMA too). The all-time record remains the $7 million for Antonio Inoki’s retirement show at the Tokyo Dome in 1998.
