PG Era Drawing Big Sponsorship Money for WWE?

The Wrestling Observer is reporting back in 2008 WWE's total revenue from corporate sponsorship was $7.4 million. Since then, as WWE has been pushing its PG product, and promising sponsors the days of racy TV are over, the revenue figure is expected to hit $20 million this year.

Update on The Rock's WMania 30 Availability

In what could be a sign The Rock will be unavailable to work WrestleMania 30, filming for the movie "San Andreas," in which Rock just signed on to appear, begins filming in April of 2014.

While it's possible the movie begins filming after the PPV, it's unlikely the film producers would want Rock getting in the ring before he films such a big budget movie, as they would want to avoid a repeat of what happened this year when he was injured at 'Mania just weeks before filming began.

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.
