Jim Ross Talks Intercontinental Title Booking, Shane - Undertaker Stipulation, Hulk Hogan's Lawsuit
Jim Ross posted his latest blog at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights:
Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon stipulation:
"The McMahon added stipulation to the HIAC match for control of RAW featuring Shane McMahon vs The Undertaker has generated a fair amount of speculation. That's good as at least folks are talking about the match and the event more, or so it seems."
IC title booking:
"The IC Title Wrestlemania match gets 13 days promotion which seems like a rush job but it puts the 7 talents on the show and in a position to go out and overachieve and create 'moments.' Why would they approach it any other way?"
Hogan's Gawker lawsuit:
"It is 'highly unlikely', credit to Gorilla Monsoon, that the Hulkster will ever get all his money that he recently was awarded from the Gawker law suit. However I do think that he will score some serious change at least it would be serious cash for a red neck, wannabe BBQ mogul like me. I'd love to see Hogan get compensated for his issues as he will likely be much more discerning with matters such as this in the future while the late Gorilla Monsoon might exclaim, "WILL YOU STOP?!" For those pontificating as to whether or not Hulk will ever return to WWE in some role I will state for the record that it would be 'highly unlikely' if he did NOT return to WWE even if it was a one off type of booking sometime in the future. Obviously, Wrestlemania Texas isn't in the cards or so I would think. Just my two cents but Hulk Hogan is too big a part of the foundation of WWE to be 'exiled' forever."
