– Pre-orders for the WWE ’13 video game are even stronger than last year’s game, which set records. That said, WWE ’12 wound up having disappointing overall sales, so pre-orders aren’t always the best indicators of how the game will sell.
– Here are some recent WWE attendance figures:
* RAW on October 5th in Everett, WA drew 5,000 fans and had a gate of $200,000
* RAW on October 6th in Yakima, WA drew 3,800 fans and had a gate of $100,000
* SmackDown on October 6th in Anaheim, CA drew 3,800 fans and had a gate of $200,000
* RAW on October 7th in Spokane, WA drew 3,500 fans and had a gate of $125,000
* SmackDown on October 7th in Reno, NV drew 2,200 fans and had a gate of $65,000
– In recent months, we’ve seen WWE Champion CM Punk ranting and raving about “Respect” – and not getting enough of it. WWE is currently considering CM Punk challenging The Undertaker at WrestleMania 29 in an effort to end the streak and earn everybody’s respect once and for all.
