Jim Ross has posted on his personal website. Here are a few highlights:

-Wrestlemania 25 has now sold over $6.4M in ticket sales. Select seats are still available as I was told that some more tickets were released a few hours ago after some TV production matters were finalized.

-The WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is “this close” to being a sell out at the Toyota Center on Saturday night April 4. Less than 500 tickets remain for one of the highlights of the entire WWE year.

-This Monday in Dallas at the American Airlines Center, it will be all hands on deck for the three WWE brands. Raw looks to be shaping up to be a red hot, live show that will air between 8 p.m. and 10ish p.m. Dallas (central time). Chris Jericho vs. Jerry “The King” Lawler is a match that particularly interests me personally. The King will make a great accounting for himself and will especially fare well if this match breaks into a brawl in my view. This will be the last Monday Night Raw prior to Wrestlemania which one would assume would raise everyone’s level of execution just 6 days before the biggest day of the year. This Monday’s event at ACC in Dallas is a near sell out as i write this and will likely be completely “clean” by show time Monday.

-Since Andrew “Test” Martin’s untimely passing of what is expected to be from a drug overdose although that has not been confirmed as I write this blog pending the results of an autopsy, so much speculation regarding drug use in wrestling and sports has been written. We all likely have friends that we have grown up with and most probably some of them do drugs and, hopefully, most of them don’t. I have friends that were big party guys in college who did their fair share of drugs. Some of those guys, even now that they are in their 50’s, still seemingly live to get high. Others who ran in our same group decided to live their lives in another way and simply say no to illegal drug use and the abuse of prescription medication. Read the complete blog here.
