On Episode 77 of The Straight Shooters, WWE Hall of Famer and the best professional wrestling and sports entertainment announcers of this generation, Jim Ross, joined myself, Philly.com’s Vaughn Johnson and The Crapulent’s Derek Badichek [also of Breaking Badichek] to discuss a variety of topics. Some of which include WWE’s decision to pay homage to the late Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka after his death despite his legacy taking a hit in his final days, Kurt Angle being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, his former coworker in Michael Cole and his work with the United Kingdom Championship Tournament a couple weeks ago, and also the upcoming 2017 Royal Rumble pay-per-view from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Ross joined us for the full hour, so make yourself comfortable, sit back, relax, and enjoy some great pro wrestling talk.
