Ross Report Recap: Lots of injuries, Raven update, and more
Submitted by William Martinez on Friday, May 24, 2002 at 3:38 PM EST


• The Undertaker re-aggravated his SI joint and lower back, which is similar to what he experienced a few months ago. He will work through any discomfort, at least for now.
  
  
• Spike Dudley suffered whiplash and symptoms relating to a stinger after landing badly during a match on Monday. He saw an orthopedist at home, who is not worried about the injury since Spike has improved since returning home. However, the doctor wants Spike to undergo an MRI next week but he will work this weekend.
  
  
• The Hurricane landed badly on his shoulder last weekend and experienced some pain which has gotten better. He will continue to work through it.
  
  
• Triple H saw Dr. James Andrews on Monday to get his knee checked. His fracture has opened up slightly but Dr. Andrews feels he can work around it as long as he can tolerate the pain.
  
  
• The Rock underwent an MRI on his knee this week. Results showed that he has a small tear in his PCL which will require therapy for a few weeks. If surgery is required, he will need two to three weeks of rehab.
  
  
• After meeting with Dr. Andrews, it was discovered that Edge has a bruise on his fibula but he will be able to work.
  
  
• Hulk Hogan has pain in his lower back and SI joint, similar to what The Undertaker has.
  
  
• Hugh Morrus was in a motorcycle accident last week where he injured his leg. He has experienced pain and swelling since but he is feeling better. He will work through any pain.
  
  
• Referee Tim White had the dislocated shoulder he suffered at Judgment Day reset in a Nashville hospital. Swelling has increased and his doctor wants it to go down before undergoing an MRI. White will begin surgery immediately and will miss at least six weeks, perhaps even longer if surgery is required.
  
  
• Kanyon will remain with OVW until the end of the month.
  
  
• Chris Benoit returned home this week. Dr. Youngblood wants to see him in about a month after he has been back in the ring full time. He also expects Benoit to fully be able to return by the end of June.
  
  
• Mike Awesome will see his doctor on June 6 for a follow up on his knee and expects to be able to return after that meeting. He will most likely be sent to the HWA for a few weeks.
  
  
• Sharmell Sullivan continues to rehab in OVW.
  
  
• Kane continues therapy for his torn bicep and will see Dr. Andrews on June 3.
  
  
• Rhyno will see Dr. Youngblood on Thursday for a six-month evaluation after neck surgery.
  
  
• Jazz is feeling better after knee surgery and will see her doctor tomorrow. She is expected to begin therapy in about a week.
  
  
• DDP was cleared to return to the ring but if he does, he may need surgery down the line. He continues to rehab his spine. DDP has not yet decided whether or not he will return to the ring.
  
  
• B.J. Payne saw his doctor today about his neck and the doctor is very happy with the progress. He will begin light workouts on Monday and he is expected to be back at 100% in two to three weeks.
  
  
• Raven will walk away from broadcasting soon to return to the ring.
  
  
• Tom Pritchard recently finished a mini-camp with Dawn Marie and Kim Nielsen and both still have a lot of work to do but have a good attitude and work ethic.
