J.R.’s Contract Expiring Soon, Lawler Uses Cheat Sheet, More
– Jim Ross has yet to sign a new contract with World Wrestling Entertainment and due to the uncertainty regarding his condition, there have not been any serious contract talks nor any offer made. His contract is set to expire in three weeks.
– At television this past week, both Jesse Ventura and Jerry Lawler were given graphics on the announcers desk, or cheat sheets, to look at that have the photos of all the wrestlers in multiple person matches. In Lawler’s case, he never watches ECW nor Smackdown. In the case of Ventura for the Breakthrough Battle Royal, he likely wouldn’t have known most of the wrestlers in the match, plus with both going live there was no chance to edit later.
– Sunday’s Survivor Series pay-per-view at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. drew 12,500 fans and that was with WWE lowering the bottom price to $20 in hopes of increasing the walk-up. The show was not a sellout.

I’d hate to say that JR needs to go to TNA, but he certainly needs to get away from Vince. Maybe if TNA will be smart and finally make another show to support all the people they have in their roster anymore, Ross could be an commentator for the other show.
WWE needs JR at the announce table, a lot of the announcing duos they have now are crap….even Cole and the King…..if not JR, then at least bring in Scott Hudson, he was the only “good” announcer to come out of WCW
