I went to WrestleMania Axxess at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.
As you enter the convention center, there's a WWE Superstore that's open to the public:
1. There was an entire shelf full of J.R.'s BBQ products:
I had the opportunity to taste everything on the shelf. The BBQ sauce is great, and the beef jerky was delicious. It was quite the slobberknocker.

3. They had ALL THE ROCKS:
