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.
X-Pac 1, 2, 360 Recap – The Ball’s Appearance on RAW, Joe vs. Lesnar, X-Pac Almost Stars on GLOW? More!
X-Pac opens today’s show speaking about Cody Rhodes’ recent ROH World Title victory. He says that he’s very proud of Rhodes, who took a huge risk and left the safe surroundings of WWE in order to bet on himself. It’s safe to say that Rhodes’ bet is paying off right now. X-Pac says that he heard a lot of friends criticize Rhodes’ decision, some even calling him a mark for doing this, but X-Pac was happy to see Rhodes follow his heart.
X-Pac mentions that he was lucky enough to be backstage at RAW this week in Los Angeles, where a lot of interesting things were happening. He was able to sit and talk with guest star Josh Duhamel for a while, and he was able to experience the backstage reaction during the MizTV segment featuring LaVar Ball and his two sons.
He says that WWE should have known that this was going to be a disaster and they very well might have, but they obviously didn’t care. He says that LaVar Ball went off script nearly right from the start and was jumping all over everyone else’s lines. In spite of all that, and even after the youngest son used derogatory language, McMahon was still urging cameramen to follow them to the backstage area and through Gorilla, because he didn’t want the cameras to miss anything good.
Jim Ross Seriously Doubts Daniel Bryan Will Ever Wrestle Again
As noted over the weekend, Daniel Bryan teased on social media that he could possibly return to Ring of Honor and challenge Cody Rhodes for the ROH Title once his contract with WWE expires. Jim Ross took to his blog on JrsBarBq.com and made the following remarks regarding Bryan possibly returning to the ring again:
“Seems as if Daniel Bryan is having some fun trolling social media as he teases a return to the ring which I seriously doubt will or should ever happen. If his existing medical condition put DB in a higher risk category, then he needs to be the responsible husband and father and refrain from lacing up his boots again. Don’t get me wrong, if DB could safely resume his career I’d be all for it as he is one of the great talents in recent memory.”
Multiple Wrestling Personalities React to Cody Rhodes’s ROH World Title Win

Bray Wyatt Does Jury Duty In Full “Bray Wyatt” Character
Bray Wyatt revealed in the new book, “NXT: The Future Is Now”, that he once went and did jury duty in full character. Here is a transcript of what Wyatt said:
“Bray began with my real-life lunacy, I’ve always been an against-all-authority kind of child. I was a big fan of Rage Against the Machine, they were a big influence on my life as a child, so when I started working with Dusty Rhodes, I began losing my mind on a very real level. I became obsessed with this character.”
“I was going to jury duty in my hometown, and Dusty made me go to jury duty as Bray. Dusty told me, ‘This is the perfect exercise, become Bray.’ I literally went to jury duty as Bray Wyatt. I was so immersed in the character that I didn’t break once. Obviously, I didn’t get picked for jury duty, but I had the white pants, Hawaiian shirt, the whole nine yards. There were no fragments of Husky Harris, Husky Harris was dead and he was to stay dead. I was Bray Wyatt, we were one.”
