WWE’s Jim Ross talks Shane Helms beef with HBK, John Cena the Rapper, and Jerry Lawler at Wrestlemania 27

News

On Shane Helms Badmouthing HBK: I haven’t followed the recent interaction w/ Shane Helms re: HBK. I know its been out there but it really isn’t something that I care to invest my time. Everyone has the right to express an opinion whether I or anyone else agrees with it or not.

On John Cena the rapper: Seriously doubt if John Cena reverts back to his ‘rapper’ days. Why would he? He doesn’t need to move backward.

On Jerry Lawler working Wrestlemania 27: Have no idea if WWE will utilize Jerry Lawler as a wrestler at WM27 but if its ever going to happen this ‘might’ be the year. WWE is still developing many young stars and King is an established HOF’er who can still have excellent matches. For Jerry’s sake I hope he gets his Wrestlemania moment someday. If Jerry had his way he would wrestle full time and not broadcast but obviously that’s not in the cards at this time. WWE needs King at the announce desk arguably more than they need him in the ring.

On Alex Riley: I do have high expectations for Alex Riley. He seems athletic, articulate and intelligent. Only time will tell how far he goes but Riley has bonafide potential. FCW did a nice job of preparing Alex for WWE. Alex’s future success is largely up to Alex.
