Jim Ross has posted on WWE Universe. Here are a few snippets:

-Yours truly exchanged messages with HBK recently and he is feeling good and has enjoyed spending a much needed summer with family and allowing his veteran body to recover from the affects of a long, successful career and, specifically, the epic encounter Shawn had vs. the Undertaker at WM25.

HBK and HHH have been working on a DX book that I was asked to make a few, minor contributions. I “think” the book comes out this fall.

I’m sure that HBK hasn’t missed the travel that comes with a WWE schedule. I dread virtually every trip I make to an airport these days that include slow, security lines, uninformed travelers who think that they can intimidate TSA personnel, older women who don’t want to take their shoes off and expose their “bunions,” travelers who never heard the term “quart sized plastic bags, and airlines that are rarely on time.

-The King, as in Jerry Lawler, and I narrated some never before seen Hulk Hogan bouts, BROTHER, Sunday afternoon before Night of Champions. One was from April 1980 in the Philadelphia Spectrum vs. WWE Champion Bob Backlund in a bout that went approximately 30 minutes, another 1980 bout from MSG vs. Andre the Giant with Gorilla Monsoon as the special referee along with Classy Freddie Blassie managing Hogan and finally a bout from 1987 from Houston on the special night for Houston promoter Paul Boesch as Hulk defended the WWE title against Kamala. The King relays some personal grooming tips that he learned from the Hulkster which fans will find amusing and unique. These never before televised bouts are for a Hogan DVD I assume.

-Shaquille O’Neal had a great time Monday in D.C. on Raw, starring Michael Cole (A good sport) and featuring Jerry Lawler as “The King.” Shaq was as friendly to the crew just as much as the big fella was with the Superstars which is the mark of a true, cool dude. I was really impressed with how lean Shaq looked as it was obvious to me that the new Cleveland Cavalier is already preparing for his first NBA season with LeBron James.

Here are this Thursday’s (7/30/09) WWE Superstars results that will be airing on WGN America:

WWE Superstars:

*John Morrison defeated Tyson Kidd in a really good match.

*WWE champion Randy Orton pinned Primo with an RKO. Orton got a babyface reaction from the crowd

* William Regal b. Yoshi Tatsu
- Regal gets the win with a running knee lift to the face.

-PWinsider reports WWE website that is promoting this years Summer Slam 2009. has an video running for the promo you can clearly see Shawn Michaels as the second wrestler being presented. You can see the website here.

-The Survivor Series PPV, which will be in Washington, DC. It is: VIPWWE.

In the video below: Shaq schools a couple of ESPN anchors at Scrabble using words that begin with his name. Just don’t ask how he got so many Qs, or debate the legitimacy of “Shaqtus.”

-PWInisder reports Kristal Marshall won the bikini class at one of those bodybuilding/fitness shows over the weekend. There are pictures of her at this link.

Wrestling News World reader Christian sent the following results:

This is the 3rd year in a row I have attended the WWE show at the Wildwood Convention Center. The previous 2 years it was a RAW brand show, tonight all 3 brands are featured. The last 2 years WWE stopped here on the way to SummerSlam and the shows were headlined by the RAW championship match from SummerSlam each year. Orton vs Cena in 07, which in my opinion was better than their PPV match and CM Punk vs JBL in 08. The Convention Center is nothing more than a glorified high school gym but it is still a good time. WWE stops in the day before the Night of Champions PPV. Below are results and random observations.

Match 1: Christian vs William Regal. Christian warms the crowd up by trying to find the loudest section to throw his shirt to, he finds it then he points at himself the crowd cheers, then he points at Regal they boo this goes on for a few minutes and then we get underway. Good match that picked up towards the end. The 1st half of the match was used to get the crowd fired up. Christian wins with the sunset flip off the 2nd rope.

The Bella twins are the guests and they ask a family which Wrestlemania tomorrow’s triple threat match headlined, they answered 24, they won front row seats.

Match 2: Drew McIntyre vs Jimmy Wang Yang. Before the match starts Drew goes for some cheap heat by ripping the crowd. He actually had a good line when he said “you tell me I suck, you don’t even know who I am.” which is probably true. Another solid match. Drew gets the win with a double arm DDT.

Match 3: Divas championship Maryse defends against Mickie James. Not much to say here other than you hope they have a better showing tomorrow night. Maryse wins with a DDT.

Match 4: Intercontinental Championship Rey Mysterio defends against Dolph Ziggler. Dolph wants to tell us what his name is, but the crowd boos. He finally gets his first name out but then Rey’s music hits good pop for Rey. Good house show match, should be a good ppv match tomorrow. Rey wins win the 619/ springboard splash. Intermission time as Chimmel sells is on some WWE goods while a couple of kids model it for the crowd.

Match 5: ECW Championship Match Tommy Dreamer defends against Vladimir Koszlov(sp?). Nothing special, Tommy retains with a DDT.

Match 6: CM Punk defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Hardy. Hardy is without a doubt the #2 guy behind Cena in terms of popularity, hard to believe he hasn’t resigned yet. Punk came out first and even high 5′d fans on his way to the ring, guess the heel turns not complete yet. Hardy gets a big pop. Kind of a short match, but a quality encounter. Punk reverses the twist of fate into the GTS for the win. They should have the match of the night tomorrow.

Match 7: Main Event No DQ match John Cena vs Big Show. Wow, I’m deaf after that explosion for Cena, I just don’t get it. I guess I’m not alone as a very large man in the front row threw their shirt at John Cena. Since the shirt is so big Cena says it it Big Show’s shirt, Show rips it and blows his nose in it. Show doesn’t want to wrestle until the crowd shows him respect. He then says he won’t fight Cena because he is no longer champion and is a loser. Show walks to the back, but Cena reminds him that the billboard out front says he is supposed to whip the Big Show’s ass. Not much of a no DQ match until Show brings in a chair that Cena ends up hitting a DDT and the throwback on. 5 knuckle shuffle, but Show hits the chokeslam, which Cena kicks out of, Cena ends up hitting the FU for the win. If you have seen one Cena/Show match you have seen them all.

All in all a good show, but no Orton no HHH and no Jericho was disappointing. The convention center holds just under 8000 people and was close to sold out. Hot crowd mostly made up of kids on vacation with their families

leading up to Summerslam to find her replacement.
