More On What Happened At Verne Gagne’s Funeral With Bob Backlund Interrupting

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

We noted before that the author working with Bob Backlund recently posted a note from Backlund, where the WWE Hall of Famer claims reports about him interrupting Greg Gagne’s eulogy for his father Verne Gagne are false. Former AWA announcer Mick Karch wrote the following on Facebook in response to claims that the original story was made up:

“If you weren’t there, it is pretty absurd to say it didn’t go down as reported, even if you’re a fan of Backlund (and there is nothing wrong with that). I will say one more time, Greg Gagne was wrapping up his eulogy for Verne when Backlund stood up, made some shouting references to representing WWE, and then told Greg, `Don’t talk back to me!’ He smiled and sat back down. Greg’s response was, `Who was that?’ Someone said, `Bob Backlund,’ and Greg responded, ‘Who let him in here.’ Backlund hadn’t just spoken the words, he was shouting as if he was cutting a promo from his Mr. Backlund days.”

TNA President Dixie Carter held a meeting at this past weekend’s Impact Wrestling tapings and basically told the talents not to believe what they read on wrestling websites about the ratings and viewership being down.

Dixie claimed that there is ratings information that websites aren’t aware of that she and TNA are privy to. She claimed that when websites publish TNA ratings data, we’re not publishing them with the West Coast numbers included but we post the data that comes from Nielsen and we do include the overall viewership with numbers for the replay. Dixie also pointed out that websites don’t report on the +.3 or +.7 DVR numbers as some fans watch throughout the week.

Dixie instructed the roster to pay no mind to ratings reports because the numbers are better than what’s actually being released.

Floyd Mayweather Vs. Manny Pacquiao Does Insane Number Of PPV Buys, Shatters PPV Record

0

Everyone knew it was going to be a huge show, but the long awaited Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao super fight ended up surpassing even most expectations.

The pay-per-view shattered previous PPV records with 4.4 million buys for the welterweight championship bout. HBO and Showtime officials also said that the event generated well over $400 million in television revenue, another record.

The previous PPV record was 2.48 million buys, set by Mayweather in 2007 in a fight with boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya. The previous PPV revenue record was Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Floyd Mayweather in 2013, with over $150 million.

According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the event more than tripled the previous live gate record by bringing in over $72 million. The old record was $20 million for a Mayweather/Alvarez fight.

Mayweather said after his win that he’d relinquish his championships, and likely finish up his boxing career in September. Manny Pacquiao would go on to have shoulder surgery.

WWE’s website has updated their listings for each show and Cena, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Kane, Randy Orton and Seth Rollins are advertised for Elimination Chamber while Cena, Rusev, The New Day, Tyson Kidd, Cesaro, Luke Harper and King Barrett are advertised for the live event in South Carolina.
