Bill Goldberg was at the "C4 Comic Con" in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada about four weeks ago and was asked about WrestleMania and he was totally up front about it, more so than most would have been. He said that Triple H has called him and they have talked, but that there?s no deal in place. He said that he?s open to come back, reports The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

WWE?s Gerald Brisco was scouting at this past weekend's wrestling show in Madison Square Garden that featured a number of MMA fighters doing wrestling matches as well as a lot of major college teams and local area teams.

Jim Ross announced the first of his "An Evening with Jim Ross" tour for Saturday, March 1, at the Gramercy Theater in New York, NY.
