Randy Orton has been telling friends that WWE offered him a 10-year contract. Although there is still no word on whether Orton will agree to the deal, it says a lot about their faith in the young superstar. As noted over the weekend, WWE is also trying to sign Rey Mysterio to a five-year deal.
An article in today's Orlando Sentinel reported that the WrestleMania XXIV generated more than $51.5 million for Central Florida, according to a study by Enigma Research Corporation.
