Regarding Shawn Michaels' comment on Raw where he talked about wrestling "the greatest in-ring performer of his generation," but then paused and said he hadn't faced that guy yet, he was actually referring to both Bret Hart and Kurt Angle. The promo was designed to be vague about who he was talking about in order to build up controversy. Although, there doesn't seem to much point to this considering that neither of them are coming in for a match.
At Tuesday's WWE New Year's Revolution press conference, there were some TNA chants at several points, with the loudest being at the end, which prompted Jonathan Coachman to comment that TNA, like Kansas City, was inferior. Coachman's TNA comment was audible during the live webcast on WWE.com, but the WWE.com staff removed the line from the archived version. Also note, Coachman is a Kansas City native.
For anyone that missed it, in a recent blog, Jim Ross admitted that he watches TNA. J.R. wrote, "Yes, I occasionally watch TNA. I am a wrestling fan and watch all the product I can when I have the time. Is that so wrong??" Also, J.R. posted a new blog earlier today, not to mention one yesterday. He commented on the Oklahoma/Boise State game, Brock Lesnar, TNA's six-sided ring, his feelings on Hogan, Warrior in the HOF, Eric Bischoff, and more. Click here to read the blogs. And lastly, J.R. turns 55 years old today.
