Jim Ross on Wrestlemania 28 Ticket Sales, Biggest Stars, and Brock Lesnar

News

From JR’s Blog:

On Mania Ticket Sales: In a lousy economy, WM28 first day of ticket sales setting a record w/ $6M plus is impressive. I know where I hope to be on April 1, 2012.

On Big Stars: When asked who was the biggest star of the 80’s, it’s an easy answer. Hogan. No brainer. Biggest star of 90’s? Little tougher. I’d submit Stone Cold for that distinction. Austin ruled late 90’s. Add Rock, Taker, HHH, HBK, etc to those subjective lists and one has a special roster. My criteria for this distinction is generating revenue BTW.

On Brock Lesnar: Should be interesting to hear Brock Lesnar analyze UFC on Fox this Friday night. Nice promotion for UFC’s Dec PPV where Lesnar returns to Octagon after long battle with diverticulitis. I’m still concerned it’s too soon but if Brock does lose, he’ll get a ‘pass.’ Brock should be an outspoken, sound byte king. BTW catch ‘Next Big Thing’ in THQ’s WWE 12 video game. Ol JR too..
