The Ric Flair Death Threats, WWE Network Trends, RAW

— Sports Illustrated released their list of the 50 greatest athletes of all-time. It should be noted that not one single professional wrestler, past or present, was featured on the list. The only mixed-martial arts athlete that was included on the list was UFC Hall Of Famer Royce Gracie.

— Two days after the WWE Network announcement was made in Las Vegas, NV, “#WWENetwork” continues to be one of the top trending topics on Twitter.

— WWE has sold over 9,000 tickets already for the upcoming WWE RAW show in February at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, California. As you would imagine, WWE is very happy with that number, The STAPLES Center in L.A. and New York City’s Madison Square Garden always draw big crowds. The same can be said for the Chicago, IL, Philadelphia, PA and Miami, FL markets.

— The New York Daily News is covering the story about WWE Hall Of Famer “Nature Boy” Ric Flair receiving death threats due to the controversy over his San Francisco 49ers speech, and their upcoming NFL playoff game against his hometown Carolina Panthers.
