Jim Ross puts to rest retirement rumors regarding top WWE stars

Jim Ross wrote a blog over the weekend in which he mentioned that Undertaker and Shawn Michaels will not be retiring despite tour names that led to speculation. "The upcoming Fall tours by WWE in Europe entitled 'The Rest in Peace Tour' and 'The DX Reunion Tour' are NOT retirement tours," Ross wrote on his Bar-B-Q website.

"When any major star such as HBK or the Undertaker finally decides to hang 'em up don't you think that WWE will make a HUGE deal out of it just as they should? This announcement won't come courtesy of a ring announcer as part of his obligatory announcements at a live event somewhere on the road." To read the full blog, visit JRsbarbq.com.

Powell's POV: I'm not sure where all the speculation came from since I believe WWE has done "Rest in Peace" tours in the past. The HBK retirement speculation made no sense since it was dubbed a "reunion" tour.
