Miami Preparing for WrestleMania 28, News on How the City Won WWE Over

- The Miami Herald has a new article up looking at what city officials had to do to bring WrestleMania 28 to their city next year. City officials promised WWE a $250,000 subsidy, along with other perks, and access to Miami-Dade county’s three largest venues – Sun Life Stadium, the Miami Beach Convention Center and the American Airlines Arena. To get Miami in the mood for ‘Mania, city officials will be hanging WrestleMania banners from light posts along the highways and around 200 volunteers from the city will be recruited to help man the many WWE events during the week. Said Mike Sophia, head of the Miami-Dade Sports Commission: “This event is as big as it gets. WrestleMania is up there in the league with Super Bowls and Final Fours. To be honest with you, when I got the [WrestleMania] bid book, I looked at it and I put it on the corner of my desk and I said, ‘Nah, this isn’t us’” Sophia said. He then realized that WWE’s WrestleMania “looks exactly like a Super Bowl. It’s exactly something we could and should do. If you want to sit down and split hairs as to whether it strictly fits the definition of a sporting event, I’m not going to have a great argument.”

News on UFC 140, New Age Outlaws, Bellator rating, more

- Bellator 55 ratings dip slightly with 168,000 viewers tuning into MTV2. - Jared Hamman vs. Constantinos Philippou is on tap for UFC 140. - From Mike Informer: Pro wrestling legend to visit William Penn - From Lekisha Oliver: New Age Outlaws to Reunite at Crossfire Wrestling fans can quote the lines by heart. But this November, the fans will not only have to follow along, but they will get to see one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history reunite at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds when BG James will make his return, but bring Billy Gunn along with him to reunite The New Age Outlaws! James and Gunn have been together as a tag team since 1997 and the tag team world hasn’t been the same since. The Badd Ass and The Road Dogg would come together by chance, but would remain together to dominate the tag team since. Holding the WWE Tag Team Championships five times, the duo would be on top until they would go separate paths for singles championships. However, Nashville’s TNA Wrestling would reunite the duo under 4Live Kru, but they would head towards the James Gang name and then take up the Voodoo Kin Mafia until they dissolved the team in 2008. But the popularity of New Age Outlaws can be seen every time either “Roaddog” BG James or Billy Gunn enters an arena. So the management at Crossfire Entertainment has heard the voices and will be bringing in the duo to reunite in Nashville! On Saturday, November 5, 2011, Crossfire Entertainment will present A New Beginning with New Age Outlaws hitting the ring to face off against one of Nashville’s top tag teams in the Diamonds in the Rough. For ticket information on A New Beginning, head over to Crossfire Entertainment’s website at www.crossfirellc.vze.com to pick up seats. The tickets are selling out fast so make sure to get your ticket for A New Beginning to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation!
