JR on WWE Talents Worried About Pay & The Network, Extreme Rules, Birthdays

- Jim Ross has updated the Q&A section on jrsbarbq.com and was asked about some of the WWE talents being worried how the WWE Network will hurt their pay. Ross replied:

“I’d suggest that they worry about more of the things that they can control and that’s their in ring performances and how they grow as a professional. Mid card and Prelim wrestlers NEVER made big money on PPV’s but had good years by staying healthy and being booked and working steady. I can’t see WWE not paying their talents fairly. Remember, most issues with wrestlers are about the two C’s, Cash and Creative. It’s always been that way and likely always will.”

- WWE Hall of Famer Antonio Inoki turns 71 years old today. Also, today would have been the 93rd birthday of the first WWWF Champion Buddy Rogers.

- The WWE Extreme Rules pre-sale begins this morning at 10am EST on Ticketmaster with the password EXTREME. Tickets are priced from $500 down to $20. Extreme Rules takes place on May 4th from the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ.
