WWE DESPERATE TO FIND OUT WHY 12 ROUNDS DIDN'T GET WRESTLING FANS OUT TO THE THEATERS

By Dave Scherer on 2009-03-30 18:56:03

WWE has started an online survey asking their fans a number of questions pertaining to why they didn't go out and see John Cena's new movie "12 Rounds" this past weekend (and given how low the box office was, it was pretty clear that many, maybe most, of their fans did not go see the movie).

If you want to give them your feedback, click:
