Happy to say that @Jerry Lawler is feeling better each day. We communicated via text message during the Browns loss to the Ravens Thursday night. Jerry actually is making an appearance at an event near Memphis but obviously is not wrestling or being involved in any physicality. Apparently it is an autograph engagement of some sort. I've not heard a definitive return date for Jerry to come back to Raw commentary and the travel that goes with it. I suspect it will still be a while before his doctor's clear him for that job and all that goes with it.
@MichaelCole has so many more responsibilities as the lead announcer on Raw than I ever did. All the social media info, etc wasn't around when King and I were in our heyday. Michael stays highly organized with a multitude of information that he is obligated to distribute during any given Monday night broadcast. Michael's role now on Raw and mine back in the day, even though we were both 'lead announcers,' are drastically different. Unless one does prep work with Cole, you just doesn't know how good a job he does especially with SO much on his plate.
WWE holding a tryout camp down in Tampa starting today (Friday) that I'm missing due to obligations here in OKC regarding Raw. I'm anxious to hear if there will be any viable prospects coming out of this multiple day camp. I hope that all prospects came to camp in great, cardio shape.
