The WWE stock has been down all day today, just one day after the company announced their first quarter earnings for 2014. My guess is that the company noting they expect additional losses for the second quarter (where Wrestlemania falls) scared off some investors, but when you are basically shifting your company over to a new central focus in the Network, such things are going to happen. The stock is currently at $18.83. It opened at $20.34 and at one point, dipped down to $18.28.
Short Sleeve Sampson, who's in the midst of a retirement tour, has been booked for the Extreme Rules PPV. I am guessing he's going to be involved in the Wee-LC match.
I have to say that I really cracked up at the t-shirts being sold by a new company JabroniWear, which you can find at www.JabroniWear.com. Some pretty inventive stuff there. Check them out if you can.
After this month's European tour, the next European tour will be 11/5-11/15 with dates in Italy, The UK, France, Spain, Ireland and Northern Ireland. WWE will tape Raw and Smackdown in Liverpool on 11/10 and 11/11 as part of that tour.
Chris Jericho was interviewed by Digital Spy and was really high on the end of The Undertaker's streak commenting, "I loved it, I thought it was great. It was a legitimate shock, it got everybody talking. I think the right guy got it, if you're going from a credibility standpoint, and if you're going from a believability standpoint. As much as people and fans and journalists want to believe that it's the case, I'm not sure if Undertaker had too many matches left in him. Maybe he doesn't want to wrestle again. Maybe he knew that he couldn't take any more. It's a big, physical task to wrestle as it is, and once a year is hard. I wouldn't want to come and wrestle just once a year. That's even harder than wrestling 200 times a year, because your body's not used to it. And the older you get, the harder it gets, the more the aches and pains kick in. Maybe The Undertaker decided that, 'I don't want to do this anymore'. And much to the fans' chagrin, who wish that we would wrestle until the day we die at 90 years old and explode into a puff of dust in the ring, sometimes you've got to make that decision. If the time was now, Brock was the right guy for that day, and I thought it was amazing. And I would have hated it - hated it - if Undertaker would have retired without losing. I think that would have been a horrible way to go, I'm really happy that he lost The Streak." You can read the entire interview by clicking here.
