There is a new book coming out looking at the life and times of lady wrestler Mildred Burke. The book titled The Queen of the Ring: Sex, Muscles, Diamonds, and the Making of an American Legend is written by Jeffrey Leen of The Washington Post. The promotional material reads: ‘At only five foot two, Mildred Burke was an unlikely candidate for the ring. A waitress barely scraping by on Depression-era tips, she wanted more, and she saw her chance when she witnessed her first wrestling match. Even against all odds, she knew that she could become a female wrestler. What followed was a gritty, glittering testament to the golden age of wrestling, when beauty and brawn captivated the world. Burke, who passed away in 1989, was a huge star in the formulative years of women’s professional wrestling, performing as World champion for several decades as well as promoting and training. Once married to promoter Billy Wolfe, she had a really colorful life as both a wrestler and a promoter.

Wrestlemania 25 debuted at No. 13 on the US DVD Sales Chart. So far the DVD has sold over 100,000 units for a gross of $2.1 million.

Tiffany is donating proceeds from her items auctioned off at Auction.WWE.com to Hope Children’s Home in Tampa. A really nice gesture.

So far the Starrcade DVD had sold 107,000 units and The Best Of Saturday Night’s Main Event DVD has sold 108,000 units.
