JR's Blog: Phoenix Update

Posted: Mar 27th 2010 By: mikeiles

Thanks for stopping by as we appreciate the visit and, hopefully, your business in our on line store which features several new packages that include FREE SHIPPING!

Quick hits from Phoenix....the weather is perfect and one can expect the stadium roof to be open Sunday night. The stadium will look amazing.

Met some fans last night at dinner from the UK who were attending their 11th consecutive Wrestlemania. Wow...that's some dedicated fans. Bravo to them.

Lots of JR's BBQ customers here this week...or so they say. I thanked them all for their support of our brand.

Saw Undertaker first thing Thursday night upon arriving at our hotel. He looks amazing...lean yet massive. The big man is ready I can assure you. We spent several minutes catching up and hope to talk gain before Sunday. His words to me were motivating and much appreciated.

Caught up with Bret Hart at Starbucks here in the hotel this morning. Bret was very upbeat and was truly looking forward to his 'Mania match vs. Mr. McMadman. If Bret feels this good regarding Sunday, I'm looking forward to the conclusion of this 12+ year saga even more. For a guy that has gone through as much as Bret, he looks better than most guys half his age. I think we fans will really enjoy this legend's last bout come Sunday in the desert.

I received one of the most touching and inspirational text messages today from Shawn Michaels that I've ever received. I was truly moved by HBK's words as it is so obvious how important Sunday's, PPV match is to this future WWE HOF'er.

I truly expect 'magic' Sunday when two of the greatest performers in the history of the business do what they can do better than 99% of the men who ever laced up their boots since wrestlers have been performing for cash. We will all be a part of history Sundy night on PPV.

This is a much different experience for me this year at 'Mania. I'm having a great time visiting with so many people that I haven't seen in too long. I'm not missing spending hours and hours preparing to broadcast the event as I've done in year's past. I'm not sure how I will feel/react come 'kickoff' time but the WM26 experience is one that has been memorable and significant for so many reasons.

Indeed I'm ready for the next phase of my career and I wouldn't want to be any where else but here in Phoenix, Arizona this weekend. Being strictly a fan again is awesome.

Count your blessings.

Boomer Sooner!
