Jerry Lawler Speaks on JR’s TV Return, Talks Hogan in TNA

November 19, 2009

WWE announcer Jerry Lawler recently did an interview with The UK Sun in which he talks about when Jim Ross might return to WWE TV and how WWE has reacted to the news of Hulk Hogan signing with TNA Wrestling. Below are two excerpts:

On Jim Ross’ Return: "There’s a strong possibility that WrestleMania could be when he makes a return. Even if it’s a situation where he could return a little bit before that, it might be best to just wait and let him come back at Mania — as the comeback of JR would be a big draw."

On Hulk Hogan Joining TNA: "I’ve told this to a lot of people, and I don’t know if they believe it, but no one in the WWE ever talks about TNA. There is no concern whatsoever. They don’t acknowledge, think or worry about them, they’re not even a blip on the radar screen. Even with Hulk Hogan, I don’t think the WWE feel they are any threat at all."

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films.
