The Ross Report Recap w/ Steve Austin & Mike Johnson – Thoughts on Kenny Omega, Samoa Joe vs. Brock Lesnar, Was Paige Backstage at…
Ross welcomes ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin to the show.
Austin informs that he’s about to start filming the fifth season of Broken Skull Challenge, which will begin airing on CMT hopefully by September. Ross says that he really enjoys that show and he believes more television (including professional wrestling) should adapt the ‘simpler is better’ model.
Austin says that he really enjoyed this past weekend’s NJPW show which aired live from the United States. He was particularly impressed by the main event match between Okada and Cody Rhodes. He says that he’s so proud of Rhodes, who has gone out on his own and earned everything that has come to him recently. He says that Dusty would be so proud of Cody if he was still alive today.
Ross asks Austin what he thinks about Kenny Omega. Austin says that Omega is a lightning bolt that transfers energy wherever he goes. He has garnered praise for his two recent matches against Okada, but he has been delivering terrific matches for a long period of time now. Ross says that Omega’s match with Iishi which will air this upcoming weekend on AXSTV is an all-time classic as well, and he urges Austin and all of his listeners to check that out.
Dinner with the King Recap – LaVar Ball on RAW, Potential Match with Cody Rhodes, WWE Title Feud with The Miz, More!
Lawler is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jerry Lawler.
Lawler begins today’s show speaking about the MizTV segment from RAW this week, which featured LaVar Ball and his two sons. He says that this was certainly a silly segment, but it undoubtably accomplished its goal of getting people to talk about Monday Night RAW.
Lawler says that ‘wrestling purists’ who had a major issue with this segment need to chill out and settle down. WWE tries to be topical and if they have an opportunity to bring someone on RAW who has been in the public eye, they’ll do it every single time.
Moore mentions that Cody Rhodes dropped Lawler’s name on his conference call earlier this week. Rhodes was asked who he’d like to wrestle moving forward and he said Kenny Omega and Jerry Lawler. Lawler says he’d absolutely accept the invitation to face Rhodes one on one, and he anticipates that could happen in the very near future.
