Sports › Morning, JR!!
Can't believe all that snow out there in Oklahoma, Colorado & Kansas. Rain moves here into Ohio tonight.
Watched the OU/Syracuse game last night. Blake Griffin is awesome to watch for did you see the one dunk where he grazed his face on the backboard? Unbelievable. Can't wait for the OU/NC match Sunday. As you say, it will be a slobberknocker!!!
Look forward to WM25 & the HOF Saturday night. Yeah, it sucks that the PPV is $55. I know the Hooters & Roosters and your restaurants will probably not show it, so I'm hoping one of my friends will order it and I'll chip in my portion of the event. With the NCAA West finals in Glendale, that stadium will be a great spot for next year's WM26.
Question for this week. I read that you were doing some commentary for a "Rise & Fall of WCW" DVD. When do we see this being available? I have a feeling this will be a great release just like the ECW one 5 years ago.
Can't believe it was 8 years ago this week when WWE bought WCW. I remember seeing that story in the papers and on the WWE website as the cover page. Curious also what do you remember about that day when it was announced about the purchase of WCW and that historic night on NITRO & RAW?
Have a great weekend, JR and enjoy the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania.
Sincerely,
Jason

J.R.'s Answer:
I'm guessing the WCW DVD will be out in 2-4 months and will look at the WCW side of the business more than simply focusing on the Monday Night Wars. I knew WWE was negotiating to buy the intellectual property of WCW from Time Warner and that I would likely be talking to many people who WWE would be hiring and that all happened. No surprises really as it was on the drawing board for months.
