Bob Saget/WrestleMania, Royal Rumble Buyrate?, JR-WWE

-- Bob Saget will be in Phoenix for WrestleMania weekend. He'll be shooting footage for his upcoming series on A&E, entitled Bob Saget's Strange Days, at the Dragon Gate USA events. Gabe Sapolsky declined to comment on the story. The series, which sees Saget trying to immerse himself in various subcultures, will be filming segments on backyard wrestling. Producers for the show had previously been looking for backyard wrestlers in the Southern California area, who literally had rings set up in their back yards and wore homemade costumes. Filming of that footage began this week. The series is set to debut this summer.
