WWE’s Jim Ross talks Bobby Heenan, Leslie Nielsen, and Miz vs. Jerry Lawler from Raw

News

Bobby Heenan: “I talked to a friend recently who spoke with Bobby Heenan last week and ‘The Wease’ is at home, he was home for Thanksgiving, after getting out of the hospital where he was rehabbing his 2nd broken hip. Bobby was in good spirits which is a testament to his character considering all the challenges that he has faced. I hope to see Bobby on one of my next trips to Tampa when I visit FCW.”

Jerry Lawler vs. The Miz: “Loved the Miz-Lawler show closer in the impromptu TLC bout for the WWE Title. I thought a really solid story was told, that the pacing of the match was at a level that could be easily processed and, equally as important, retained, and the closing moments had ample twists and turns that made a somewhat predictable conclusion appear to be up for grabs.”

Leslie Nieslen: “The thing I remember most about being around Leslie Nielson is that he rarely was without his ‘fart cushion.’ He loved to create noise ‘o flatulence and would do it any time and any where. By all accounts the recently deceased actor was a joy to work with and truly enjoyed his WWE experience. I remember as a kid watching a young Leslie Nielson play the lead on a weekly, Disney TV show entitled ‘The Swamp Fox.’ ”
