WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently spoke with The Huffington Post’s Royal Ramblings, to promote his new deal as the spokesperson for the free-to-download FITE TV App.
During the interview, JR had the following to say about WrestleMania potentially taking place in The UK:
“I don’t have a definite answer, but I have an opinion, and I think as the WWE continues to give more dependence on their network for all the product disruption, I think the chances increase every year that this will happen,” said Ross. “There’s no doubt that the WWE Wrestlemania event could sell out any stadium in the country. I’m not saying that in an egocentric way, that is my opinion. They did it before with Summerslam years ago and as Gorilla Monsoon would say, the fans were hanging from the rafters!
“WWE looks at revenue from Pay-per-Views – primarily being from North American and North America TV providers wanting the show to be aired at 7pm Eastern Time,” Ross continued. “That’s been relieved a little bit simply because of the fact that WWE now controls their own platform. I think the chance has increased since the network, and I would say, merely as speculation and knowing how important the UK is to WWE for their global picture I am beginning to believe that there is a greater chance than before it is going to happen.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
