Here are highlights from Jim Ross’ latest blog entry:
On Monday’s announced RAW segment: “WWE announcing a Hall
of Fame forum to kick off RAW this Monday that includes Flair, Hogan and Shawn
Michaels. I guess I missed the call. LOL. I hope that the panel is hard hitting
and thought provoking and refrains from eye ball rolling rhetoric as it’s a
great opportunity to sell the Lesnar-Cena rematch coming in September. Let the
talents use their old school promo skills and not how a writers rendition of
what they ‘think’ these legends might say. Give them bullet points and turn them
loose.”
On Mick Foley’s back: “My friend Mick Foley is talking
major back surgery to help alleviate the pain that he is in 24X7 after a long
career of taking extraordinary bumps. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mick also did
not need knee and/or hip replacements sometime down the road as well. Riding in
those rental cards thousands of miles each year on his tours doesn’t help
matters either. Less may be more for Mick who I hate to see suffer simply
getting out of a chair or walking from point A to point B. It almost seems as if
Mick is working harder today than he has a certain times of his wrestling
career. Mick is simply too nice a man and a friend to see suffer on a daily
basis.”
On rumors of Steve Austin wrestling at WrestleMania 32:
“Love the speculation on @steveaustinBSR talk of coming back to do one last
match at WM32 if it is going to be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The average fan has zero idea how long the odds are on that ever occurring but I
assume it’s fun to speculate. No one would like to see it more than me
but….”
