Several WWE fans have been nervous as rumors have surfaced on the Internet that Michael Cole will be replacing “the voice of RAW” Jim Ross. Ross denies this rumor and is quite unhappy about it. In his latest blog he writes, "I have no idea how this sort of information gets out there and then takes on a life of its own as if it is factual. I fully expect to continue my tenure with the WWE for years to come and no one in the decision making process has indicated anything to the contrary to me. Do you actually think these executives are speaking to the wrestling internet world? Me neither. These rumors upset Mrs J.R. and my family more than they do me. I still get excited about going to work every week on Monday Night Raw and I am still having fun. I would also like to think that my work doesn’t suck pond water. Perhaps I am wrong. Nonetheless when my run on Raw comes to an end, whenever that may be, I will look back on my WWE career with no regrets. I have had a blessed career and life in our wonderful business over the past four decades. There is plenty of fuel left in this tank, so don’t count me out just yet. I feel, for many reasons, that my best years in broadcasting are ahead of me and I feel really good about the future. Finally, I suggest that you don’t believe everything you read on the internet."
Today’s Chicago Tribune features an article with Steve Austin to help promote the Condemned which will be released on April 27th. In the interview, Austin speaks more about himself than as being a performer. He discusses his home and living in California. You can read it at this link.
Speaking of Austin, he did the whole “Gentelmen… start your engines" deal before the NASCAR race this weekend in Texas. ESPN’s SportCenter showed footage from this last night.
