The Rock is holding a #RockTalk Q&A session on Twitter today and revealed some interesting details about the original plans for him to wrestle Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30. He said there’s “no plans now” for him to compete at WrestleMania 30 – but “possibly” WrestleMania 31.

He also commented on the abdominal injury he suffered at WrestleMania 29 against John Cena, which is the reason for him scaling back his work in the ring while filming big budget Hollywood movies:

Jim Ross Blog: Daniel Bryan Joins The Wyatts, Hulk Hogan At Old School RAW?

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what he said about last night’s RAW and next week’s “Old School” show:

Daniel Bryan Joining The Wyatt Family: “Daniel Bryan is a genuine work horse but I still don’t know exactly what I saw as he left the arena Monday night with the Wyatt Family. Will Bryan now become a pro wrestling ‘villain’ within the Wyatt faction or will Bryan continue to elicit cheers because the fans love chanting “Yes!”?”

“Are the Wyatt’s an antagonist entity or are they simply, bizarrely cool? What heinous acts have the Wyatt’s perpetrated lately to make them disliked? Or does it matter? Just asking…”

Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Batista & The WrestleMania 30 Main Event: “Good to see Heyman and Lesnar back on RAW although I doubt that we see them together that much between now and WM30. I hope that I’m wrong on that one. Lesnar has and will sell PPV’s if he is exposed strategically on Monday Night Raw. What is or isn’t strategic is up for debate.”

“Lesnar just jumped to the top of my short list of favorites to win the Royal Rumble…..or Batista. Will the WrestleMania 30 Main Event be Orton vs. Lesnar? Or Orton vs. Batista? Or none of the above? Hmm.”

Next Week’s Old School RAW: “The promos for next week’s Old School Raw looked good and I’m sure that the “alums’ will have a great time catching up next week …How cool would it be to see Hulk Hogan next Monday night in Baltimore? That’s the epitome of ‘Old School” booking for this themed RAW. (Someone has already said out loud, (“NO! Save Hulk for PPV!”) One would expect WWE will have a few surprises up their sleeve for Monday night as it relates to the old school talents.”

“However, having Ric Flair on the show makes it feel very special. I haven’t seen Naitch since Summer Slam but that’s another story…. ”

Paul Heyman spoke to Michael Cole immediately after Monday’s episode of RAW. Here are some highlights of what he said:

– Brock Lesnar will be at next week’s Old School RAW from Baltimore, Maryland and is looking “to do something old school” at the show.

– Triple H brought Brock Lesnar back to WWE because he does what’s best for business. Brock is back because WWE unified the top titles and it’s Brock’s destiny to be the supreme champion.

– When Michael Cole mentioned Batista’s return, Heyman responded, “Who?” Heyman admitted that he’d love to sign Batista as a Paul Heyman Guy, but The Animal needs to remember that Lesnar is the true ‘force to be reckoned with’ in WWE.

The final WWE RAW show of 2013 ended with Daniel Bryan joining The Wyatt Family. The RAW main event featured Daniel Bryan facing Luke Harper first. If Bryan defeated Harper, then he had to beat Erick Rowan. If he defeated them both, then he could get his hands on Bray Wyatt. Bryan ended up beating them both. When Bray’s turn to face Bryan came up, he stopped himself from attacking Bryan. Bryan ended up telling Bray he was right. He said fans chanted “Yes!” in every building he went to, and “they” still didn’t care. Bray then hit Bryan with his Sister Abigail finisher, but the two still ended up leaving together. Bryan stopped at the top of the stage to think over his decision, but ultimately decided to do it anyway.

Also on RAW on Monday night, both Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman returned. The two returned as part of Triple H’s “blockbuster announcement.” They announced their intentions on becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion by defeating whoever wins the Royal Rumble main event between John Cena and Randy Orton. This led to Mark Henry coming out, only to get beat up by Lesnar. Lesnar speared Henry through the barricade on the floor and then hit him with an F-5 on the floor.

    WWE RAW Results – December 30, 2013

    In-Ring Segment: CM Punk, The Shield & Brad Maddox

    RAW opens with CM Punk coming out. Michael Cole welcomes us to the 1,075th episode of RAW, and then introduces JBL, as well as Jerry “The King” Lawler, who he points out is returning from vacation. Punk gets in the ring and has a mic in hand. Punk talks about this being the final RAW of 2013 and how he’s had up’s and down’s like everyone else this year. Punk runs down some of his accomplishments and then says 2013 wasn’t the year of Punk. Punk talks about this being the year of The Shield. Punk talks about how he has a proposition for them tonight, and as soon as he says it, The Shield’s music hits and out comes Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns through the crowd. Ambrose gets on the mic and asks Punk what he wants. Punk says he wants to be the best, so he wants to fight the best. He asks them who the best member of The Shield is. Ambrose starts talking and Punk says he wasn’t talking about him. Punk says Ambrose is the weak leak. Rollins tries to accept Punk’s challenge and Reigns stops him. Reigns argues off-mic with Rollins. As they continue to argue, Brad Maddox comes out. Maddox wishes everyone a Happy New Year and then announces Punk vs. Rollins, which will take place right now.

    CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins

    We don’t even go to commercial before the bell rings. Punk and Rollins go at it immediately. Punk almost gets Rollins with the GTS right off the bat, but Rollins escapes out to the floor to recollect himself. We head to a mid-match commercial on that note. When we return from commercial, Rollins is punching away at Punk as we see a shot of Reigns and Ambrose looking on from the floor. Punk and Rollins botch a submission spot on the ropes pretty bad, before ultimately getting it right. Pretty unique submission where Punk ties Rollins up through the ropes. Rollins eventually breaks free and is laying the boots to Punk on the mat. Michael Cole on commentary talks about how both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have major announcements here tonight on RAW. Punk goes to the top rope but Rollins shoves him off and he crashes hard on the ground outside the ring. On that note, we head to another mid-match commercial. When we return from commercial, Punk is in the middle of a comeback on Rollins, as Michael Cole points out to us. Rollins ends up side-stepping Punk, and Punk runs shoulder first into the steel post inside the ring. Rollins goes for a leg-drop off the middle ropes, but Punk moves out of the way just in time. Rollins avoids another GTS attempt by Punk by rolling through, but Punk clamps down on his legs for a pin attempt. Rollins kicks out at two. A light “this is awesome” chant breaks out. Reigns and Ambrose distract Punk from the floor, allowing Rollins to hit a powerbomb on Punk into the corner. We see Reigns telling Rollins to put him away on the floor. Rollins mocks Punk, calling for the GTS. Punk avoids it, hits him with a running knee and then a short-clothesline. Rollins goes to the top-rope, but Punk stops him. Rollins knocks Punk off the top. Punk gets Rollins in the Anaconda Vice, but Ambrose breaks it up. Rollins hits Punk with a whicked finishing-top move, but can’t get the three-count because Ambrose and Reigns accidentally have the ref distracted. Rollins misses a big splash attempt, instead crashing onto Reigns and Ambrose on the floor. Punk hits him with the GTS. 1-2-3. Punk wins. Great match.

    Winner: CM Punk

    Backstage: Brad Maddox, The Authority & Daniel Bryan

    Backstage, we see Brad Maddox talking to a ref about an Intercontinental Title match tonight. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon walk in. Maddox talks about Kane not being here. Speaking of which, there is a Kane mask in a glass case behind them as they talk. Daniel Bryan walks in and demands a match with Bray Wyatt here tonight. Maddox says he should earn it. If he beats Luke Harper, he gets Erick Rowan. If he beats Rowan, then he gets Bray. Bryan accepts and walks off. Stephanie McMahon says she’s impressed. She says watch and learn as she announces the main event for the Royal Rumble. She walks off as we head to commercial.

    Stephanie McMahon’s Blockbuster Announcement

    We return from commercial and out comes Stephanie McMahon. McMahon stops at the top of the stage and wishes us all an “incredibly Happy New Year.” Stephanie says when she looks back at 2013 she wouldn’t change anything. She talks about crowning one singular champion. She says let’s celebrate the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton. A video package airs showcasing some key moments throughout Orton’s WWE career. When the package concludes, Stephanie continues putting over Orton’s accomplishments. She says at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Orton will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a traditional Championship match. It will be Orton against John Cena. Michael Cole concludes by saying, “what a blockbuster announcement.” If you say so!

    Backstage: Stephanie McMahon & Triple H

    When we return from commercial, Stephanie McMahon is shown walking backstage. Steph asks Triple H how she did. HHH says she did awesome. He says as big as her announcement was, “wait ’til they hear what I have to say.” He walks off as Stephanie wishes him good luck.

    Curtis Axel vs. Dolph Ziggler

    After the backstage segment, we see Curtis Axel in the ring with his music playing. A split-screen interview with Axel is shown. Dolph Ziggler’s music hits and out comes Ziggler. Ziggler has a split-screen interview shown as he walks to the ring, too. These are apparently the WWE Superstars’ “New Year’s Resolutions.” The bell sounds and Axel goes to work on Ziggler immediately. Michael Cole reminds us about the beating Ziggler took from Randy Orton on SmackDown last Friday night as Axel throws Ziggler out to the floor. Axel beats up Ziggler on the floor a bit and then rolls him back into the ring. Axel continues to go on work on Ziggler. Michael Cole informs us that we’ll be able to vote for an opponent for Damien Sandow later tonight. The announcers continue to put over Stephanie’s big announcement of the Orton-Cena rematch as Ziggler finally starts fighting back. Ziggler does his speedy ten-punch spot on Axel in the corner and then hits him with a neckbreaker. The two trade some near falls and then Axel hits Ziggler with a neckbreaker of his own. Ziggler hits the Zig-Zag out of the blue. 1-2-3. Ziggler wins.

    Winner: Dolph Ziggler

    Fans Choice: Damien Sandow’s Opponent

    Fans can vote on the opponent for Damien Sandow tonight on the WWE App. The options for his opponents are Kofi Kingston, The Great Khali and The Miz.

    • Jim Cornette Blames Vince Russo For Owen Hart’s Death

    Matt Boone

    The following are highlights from a recent Kayfabe Kickout interview with legendary wrestling manager Jim Cornette:

    On why he left WCW in 1990: “We just decided we’d rather be home than work for this f#@*$ p%#@*. It just came to a head one day when we had come off of a several day tour on the road, landed in Charlotte where we lived, and instead of being able to go home, immediately drove to Andersen, South Carolina to do a TV taping where they hadn’t bothered to tell us that not only was Stan Lane only wrestling one single match, and I was only managing him in that, but that Bobby Eaton wasn’t even wrestling at all.”

    On the tragic death of Owen Hart: “Believe it or not, I was not there. That was actually the first WWF pay per view that I had missed in about five years because I was preparing to move from Connecticut back here to Louisville to start the developmental program with Ohio Valley Wrestling and was not needed that night at the pay per view. I was like everybody else, I was sitting at home watching it live as it happened.

    Obviously the incident was not aired on television because, it was, fortunately, in a videotaped replay segment that it happened. But when the camera came back in the arena and Jim Ross was trying to cover basically for why there was no action going on and that there was somewhat of a pall over the proceedings, and he didn’t know exactly what had happened so he was trying to choose his words carefully, I knew instantly that something was wrong, but we didn’t know exactly until sometime afterwards what exactly had happened.

    That was, you know Owen, I just said guys can get hurt. They’re risking their lives, but that was completely unnecessary. It was something that Owen was doing, that he was not comfortable with, that he was asked to do.

    Still to this day I blame Vince Russo, like a lot of people do, because for those who don’t know, Owen, instead of being able to do a normal entrance into the ring and have a wrestling match, which is dangerous enough, they decided that he would make a superhero entrance and be lowered into the ring in this outlandish costume that Russo had booked him to be in and was being lowered by a rigging company that didn’t check the rigging or whatever and there were lawsuits, etc. etc. But he fell a hundred feet from the roof of the Kemper Arena in Kansas City into the ring and was killed.

    Owen was a great wrestler and Owen didn’t need all that hoo ha around him, but Vince Russo didn’t feel that he was exciting enough as himself and wanted to make him a superhero, and came up with the idea of doing that. Owen wasn’t comfortable with it, but he had already turned down a few things that he wasn’t comfortable with, and he didn’t want to be Negative Nancy and be known as the guy who kept saying ‘no’, so he went along with it, and it didn’t turn out well.

    That’s one of the many things that I blame Vince Russo for, for spoiling the wrestling business, not only for the people in it, but for the people who like to watch it.”

    WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated the Q&A section of JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

    Did he watch Nitro during the Monday Night War?

    “I was generally busy with RAW and was at best a casual viewer. I had a great deal on my plate in those days.”

    How Social Media has affected pro wrestling:

    “Not sure how much it has actually ‘changed’ the business but there is much more info out there to digest and much of it is simply gossip and innuendo. I don’t think that the IWC has helped or harmed the wrestling business. Times have changed in all walks of life, sports, entertainment, etc. ”

    If Hulk Hogan can wrestle at WrestleMania:

    “Hulk has a horrible back condition, his in ring work would be SO limited that I feel it would sadden his fans to see what he’s become in his later years in all due respect. I’m not even sure that he could pass a WWE physical. But he doesn’t have to wrestle to be a huge part of WM30, IMO”

    Why WWE doesn’t have more Japanese wrestlers:

    “I feel that the lack of them being able to speak English hinders them a great deal. Most of the great Japanese stars stay in Japan these days. I haven’t watched Japanese wrestling to any degree in a long while.”

    Gina Carano fighting Ronda Rousey:

    “The match wold be super and a financial hit but I think Gina is done with MMA. I hope that I’m wrong.”

    Which PPV Is Bigger: SummerSlam or Royal Rumble?

    “Summer Slam has seemingly gotten bigger but the Rumble is my favorite PPV match.”
