The following are highlights from the latest blog of WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross:
Getting lots of questions asking for a Royal Rumble Match winner of which I have no clue. I’m not even sure who all are entered in the match and certainly don’t know the order of entry. The winner of the Rumble match earns a WM29 main event spot on April 7 in MetLife Stadium in Jersey. I have some thoughts but I’ll keep them private for now. I assume that @MichaelCole @JCLayfield and @Jerry Lawler will handle the commentary in Phoenix for the PPV event and having three at the announce table might actually be a plus when calling the Rumble match itself.
Prayers to Superstar Billy Graham as he is very ill or so reports say. For those wishing to reach out to Superstar he is on Facebook as I understand it.
Tyson Kidd, one of the potentially brightest young stars in WWE, underwent knee surgery Thursday to repair multiple injuries and will be out until sometime late in 2013. I am very high on Kidd’s in ring work and have seen him have some tremendous outings while performing at NXT. Hopefully when Tyson is healthy he will look at his return as a fresh start as, hopefully, will all involved in the process. If you’ve heard my commentary during Kidd’s NXT bouts you already know what I think of this young man’s potential.
I wonder if the selection of who inducts Mick Foley would not have become a topical matter this week if not for Twitter and the Internet? Obviously, not. I still like Terry Funk as Mick’s Choice as his presenter or perhaps even Mick’s oldest son. Bottom line, it is totally @RealMickFoley call. I can’t wait to hear his induction speech.
