– Jim Ross announced on his official web site that he has reached a deal on a new contract between him and WWE. Here is the full announcement: A new, two year contract has been signed between Jim Ross and World Wrestling Entertainment. Ross, a 34 year veteran of pro wrestling/sports entertainment, is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame and has been with the company since debuting at Wrestlemania 9 in 1993. Ross and his fellow WWE Hall of Fame partner, Jerry “the King” Lawler, comprise the broadcast team on the WWE’s longest running, flagship broadcast, “Monday Night Raw” which airs live on the USA Cable Network every Monday night at 9/8 central time and globally in over 100 countries. No other details on the terms of the contract have been released.
– The 18 year old young man that is accused of impersonating a police officer while pulling over WWE SmackDown star Batista has been identified as Jesse Johnson. According to a report by the Akron Beacon Journal in Ohio, the boy has been charged with impersonation before as he once served a 179 day jail sentence for the same offense. Part of his agreement from his last sentence was that he would stay out of trouble for at least two years, something he was obviously unable to do.
– This past Friday’s edition of SmackDown did a 2.8 fast national rating according to Dave Scherer of the Professional Wrestling Insider. We’ll have the final number here on the site later next week.
