-Ross on if Jerry Lawler will return to the ring: "I do know that if King can wrestle that he will. Jerry is a wrestler first and an announcer second as being a wrestler is what he's done for 40+ years and I seriously doubt that he's ready to hang up his boots. Every indy promoter will be frothing at the mouth to book King even more now than before. I'd suggest to all that slow, deliberate steps be taken."

-Ross on John Cena's injury: "Tough hand dealt to John Cena who had surgery Tuesday in Birmingham by Dr. James Andrews. Cena's been wrestling hurt but is SO much tougher than many of his critics give him credit as they seem to be too busy knocking his in ring style. As a former offensive lineman, and a damn good one, John Cena will likely be back closer to two weeks than three if my guess is accurate."

-Ross on who works with Michael Cole next: "I'm not sure who will sit in for King next week with Michael Cole. It's a great opportunity for WWE to utilize some names from the past and/or to place some prospective new talent at the announce table.

Whoever assists Cole will be in good hands as no one preps as thoroughly as does Michael and hopefully whoever is tabbed will follow Cole's lead and be thoroughly prepared to work a long, live three hour entertainment program. I'd suggest that who is selected greatly reduce their liquid in take by mid afternoon as sitting in a confined spot for three hours can be, well, anxious. :)"

Other topics include more on Jerry Lawler and John Cena, plus working with JBL and Cole on this Monday's Raw.
