didn't watch any of it, as I just got off the road, but hearing that Reigns is getting the #1 slot does scream Lesnar wins Rumble, thus Lesnar/Reigns. But I could really see HHH coming in and winning too. Either scenario seems lame.

My fear was they do Reigns and Lesnar as #1 and #2 and have them eliminate everyone until the end.

WWE Tough Enough Winner Garners Heat on Social Media, Publicly Blasted by Kevin Owens, Stardust and Bull Dempsey
Click to expand...

Seems pretty childish from Owens (especially owens blocking him), Stardust, and Dempsey. I mean, a guy in the company saying what 99.99% of fans are thinking, that the social outcasts are nothing more than jobbers (or at best, wasted potential, which some of them are) is no different than A.J. saying women don't get enough screen time. The only difference is wrestling is a lot like the NFL, in that they think if you've been there a long time it somehow makes you better or smarter than someone who hasn't. Yeah, it was dumb for the new kid to say considering he's brand new, but that doesn't change the fact that it was 100% true.

I didn't find what Dempsey said to be that bad. The others were a little more rough. Maybe Cody felt the need to speak up because of ties to NXT due to his wife?

As for Owens, he's just a dick. He blocked Sabrina the Teenage Witch for less

I think the reason Owens,Stardust and bull got mad was because he was talking crap about his fellow wrestling brothers when he himself hasn't done anything at all.

Spot on. Dempsey getting involved is just sucking up. Bull Fit is boring and dumb. Of course Dempsey stood up for KO. The next most out of stereotypical wrestling shape after Owens is Dempsey

And could not disagree with your guys more about the Owens and Yeti dude thing. Yeti dude hasn't even wrestled a match, you cant just dis guys higher up on the pecking order than you. Yeti doofus needs to learn some respect. Mad props to Owens and Bull calling that dumbass out.

Jim Ross is back! Legendary voice to call New Japan Pro Wrestling matches on AXS TV

Jim Ross is back! Legendary voice to call New Japan Pro Wrestling matches on AXS TV

Good God almighty, legendary voice Jim Ross is back in business.

The WWE Hall of Famer will be doing play-by-play for "New Japan Pro Wrestling" on AXS TV, it was learned on Tuesday. Ross will work alongside NJPW veteran and UFC star Josh Barnett beginning March 4. The show is broadcast at 9 p.m. ET.

"New Japan Pro Wrestling" will feature the matches from Wrestling Dontaku 2015. Ross will do the voice-over calls from Los Angeles.

"This opportunity to work with AXS TV is attractive on many fronts," Ross said. "The travel won't be weekly but approximately 8-10 trips to Los Angeles in a year's time. While there, in a two-day, voice-over session, we will hammer out up to six shows. I'm happy OKC now has non-stop flights to LAX."

Ross was the voice of WWE for two decades. He was part of the first English language, live broadcast of NJPW in 2015 when he worked Wrestle Kingdom 9.

"I'm a big fan of the New Japan product as they have been one if the most highly regarded brands within the genre for decades," Ross said. "New Japan has a unique opportunity with AXS TV to grow their brand in North America. The more fans sample the athleticism, physicality, no-nonsense presentation of NJPW the more they're going to like it.

"For me, the New Japan Pro Wrestling business philosophy reminds me of my earlier years in wrestling. I've had numerous other offers, some serious and others just flirting to return to TV Wrestling broadcasting but none have had the appeal that AXS TV offered me. We think my style will fit the NJPW in-ring presentation well. We'll know that conclusively in early March. Plus, AXS TV and I discussed other potential projects outside NJPW."

NJPW's season features episodes highlighting matches from the 2015 New Japan Cup, Invasion Attack, HINOKUNI, Best of the Super Juniors 22, Dominion 7.5, G1 Climax 25 and more throughout the year.

"It's a dream to be able to sit next to the legendary Jim Ross and call the incredible wrestling action of New Japan Pro Wrestling," Barnett said. "I've listened to his commentary throughout the years and I'm glad to have someone as distinguished as him to work with in the booth."

Ross and Barnett will be calling matches that are action-packed.

"NJPW has some studs on their roster and they do a great job of offering a strong, physical style that highlights stiff strikes, heavy kicks and high level air skills," Ross said. "Hitoshi Tanahashi is their ace -- NJPW's version of John Cena as it relates to carrying his company's brand during challenging business times. Kazuchiku Okada is the heir apparent to Tanahashi and is one of the most dynamic performers anywhere in the world.

"I'm hopeful that my partner . . . and I can continue to introduce many new fans to more of these amazing, proud athletes. The NJPW roster is loaded with many young, talented, highly trained men that all hungry to fight their way into main events."

Did Ross, who is a contributor to FOXSports.com, miss calling the action?

"I think I only missed it when I heard others doing it on television," Ross said with a a laugh. "I've never missed it while sitting in an airport or checking into another hotel. Broadcasting has been in my DNA for over 40 years so it's here to stay. Broadcasting was always my favorite facet of being in the TV wrestling business.

"I'm very excited about this opportunity to get off the bench and get back in the game," he added. "My tank is far from empty. The social-media feedback, especially on Twitter, regarding the possibility that I might get back behind the mic for some pro wrestling has been nothing short of spectacular. I've been touched by the genuine outpouring of support from fans who have been supporters of mine for years.

"It's my job to not let these folks down, and I won't."

I thought it was pretty good! Seriously, did anyone see that coming with the Wyatts?? I didn't!


I'm not convinced that Reigns or Lesnar wins the Rumble!

I'm just getting pretty bored with the Wyatt's. If the WWE is planning on Bray winning the rumble or at least putting him in the title picture, great. It's just getting old watching him pick a fight and losing in the end repeatedly.

Some people are saying that it means Lesnar will face Wyatt at WM, but I don't think so. Apparently Lesnar will only fight somebody credible at WM, and Wyatt is not that.

As far as the Yeti goes...I've said before there are only two people I legit hate in "sports entertainment": Vince and Josh Bredi. But I think this is a really odd thing to be picking on him on, considering what he said is basically true. Just because I don't wrestle I'm not allowed to call somebody a jobber?

However, I'm all for the locker room hating on him in general. I would say he won't even make it to the main roster, but he has the Roman Reigns look and it seems Vince is gay for that right now. If he does make it, I hope Orton does the Orton thing and takes a massive dump in his bags. Up the anty with a massive green dump and I will never hate on Randy again.
