Monday's RAW Rating, WrestleMania, Jim Ross Negotiating A New Contract


Source: WrestlingObserver.com

- Last night’s edition of WWE RAW featuring the return of Chris Jericho did a 3.5 cable rating according to data compiled by Nielson Media Research.

- WWE issued a press release today saying that a study by Enigma Research in Toronto indicated that WrestleMania 23 generated $29.7 million in economic impact last year. According to the study, that is a combination of direct, indirect, and induced impact from spending by tourists that help generate $4.7 million in taxes.

- Jim Ross addressed his contract situation with WWE in his most recent blog. Here’s what Ross said: "The WWE and I are negotiating for a new multi year contract. The negotiations are progressing, but we haven’t ironed out all the details as of yet. Hopefully, this matter will be finalized soon. This is the same status as it was the last blog this subject was addressed. In a perfect world I would like “A-Rod” money, but I am willing to negotiate down from that figure."
