— WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross has continued posting teases in his various website blogs and fan Q&A updates that claim he may soon have some work in the mixed-martial-arts world. Will “Good Ole’ JR” put on the headsets once again to call action for the UFC? Is he looking at working for a different MMA promotion?

— As noted earlier, there are many people within WWE who are under the
impression that as the “Guardians of the Galaxy” film continues to enjoy more
and more success, that the chances that Batista will ever return as a full-time
performer in WWE decreases.

When “The Animal” left a few months ago, the belief among many was that he
would be back as soon as his media obligations were done for the film, however
those same people have been changing their tune as of late.

Apparently, the topic of Batista was a big one backstage at this past
weekend’s WWE live events. The feeling is that he will receive a lot more offers
from Hollywood after the success of “Guardians,” which much like The Rock, means
he’s likely not to work as much in WWE for fear of getting injured and ruining
his chances at working in more movies.
