J.R.’s Superstars of the Week - Jack & Gerald Brisco (from WWE.com)
Greetings from under the 200X, black Resistol hat from the WWE’s resident Okie, who is happy to be back in the sunny and warm Sooner state after struggling through Monday’s three-hour Raw while battling the flu. For the record, the flu won and is still wearing me smooth out. But here is some sage advice to live one’s life by: “It’s just as easy to be sick at work as it is to be sick at home.” (Or so I have been told.) Nonetheless, we will gear up and head to south Louisiana for the next to the last Raw prior to WrestleMania XXIV. Gumbo time!
Apparently John Cena and WWE Champion Randy Orton will form a tag team and take on the entire Raw roster, so said the man who will be in charge this Monday in Lafayette, La., Triple H, just prior to Raw’s Gone With the Wind-like exit from the air in Milwaukee. That declaration deserves a Sgt. Schultz-esque “very interesting” (yes, I watch TV Land occasionally), and it will be intriguing to see how this one is pulled off Monday night.
Ric Flair is getting more air time these days than in recent memory in WWE, which is a good thing for us fans of the “Nature Boy.” My pal, ABC and ESPN broadcaster Brad Nessler, is coming to Orlando, Fla. to see “Naitch” be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and to attend WrestleMania. Ness is broadcasting the ACC Tournament and is the college game’s best football/basketball play-by-play man. It seems like only yesterday when we used to do play-by-play in wrestling, but I digress. If you are guaranteeing your pals that Flair is losing to HBK at WrestleMania XXIV, be careful.
