Jim Ross On SNME: It looks like another Saturday Night’s Main Event is on tap for later in the summer. I read where it was further proof that Michael Cole is the “long term” answer to the WWE’s announcing plans seeing as though Cole worked with King at the last SNME which again I find laughable. The SNME was taped prior to the Raw broadcast and we all agreed that for me to do heavy duty play by play on a 90 minute show followed by another 2 hour show would not be great on my pipes and I did not want to end up sounding as I did after Wrestlemania 23 when my voice went to hell in Dayton. The decision for me to not be a part of the SNME was not made until the day of the taping and for the reason I mentioned. However, common sense would dictate that Michael Cole, who I think is tribally underrated and underappreciated by many, is obviously a younger man than yours truly and will probably be around longer than me, simply due to our birth years. However, these “future changes” are a long time coming, in my view which I think are shared by those that matter in the WWE as well. Nonetheless the prediction and reporting of my professional demise is very premature and is not accurate unless reporting the obvious that Michael Cole is a younger man than “J.R.” is considered a story.

Jim Ross On The Ladder Match DVD: The Razor-HBK Ladder Matches will always standout because they were at the front of the line. Plus, both Razor and Shawn were huge stars on a consistent main event level when they participated in their Ladder Matches. Were they the best ladder matches? Your opinion is as good as mine but they were definitely memorable. Obviously, HBK and Razor started a new match that has taken on a life of its own and spawned a hot selling DVD.

Jim Ross On Sunny: Sunny was quite honestly and succinctly a big time star in her heyday. She was a trailblazer and contributed to the Divas that have followed her just as other of Sunny’s contemporaries have. Sunny had a superb wrestling aptitude not to mentioning she looked super which never hurts my feelings. I have lost personal touch with her but I read something on her from time to time. I hope she is well and happy. She deserves to be.

Jim Ross On Roddy Piper: I had a chance to chat with Roddy Piper briefly Monday night and he looked and sounded great. Roddy looked to be in great sprits and in excellent health. I visited with Piper and Flair momentarily and jokingly asked them if I could join their “senior’s” discussion. The business needs more men like Ric Flair and Roddy Piper that’s for damn sure.

Jim Ross On Bret Hart One More Match: I would love to see it but it sounds like nothing more than wishful thinking as I am relatively sure Bret has hung up his boots for good. Nonetheless, the WWE now owns the Calgary Stampede Wrestling library and I am sure we will see some classic stuff from that collection that features essentially all the Harts sooner than later on WWE 24/7 and on DVD.

Jim Ross On Psycho Sid Trying To Get Back In The WWE: I have read internet reports that Psycho Sid is trying to get back in the WWE, but I have never heard a word of such from anyone in the WWE. Is this annual, and seemingly never ending rumor true? I have no clue and stranger things have occurred, but somehow, I doubt the validity of this one.
