Ross Report -- Dec. 27, 2002
Rey Mysterio, Rhyno, Tajiri and Mark Henry will join Jazz in returning to action in the next few weeks. January could be a big month for returning WWE Superstars if all continues to go well. Soon after this group returns to action, we should also see the return of Randy Orton to in-ring competition. Randy's updates on his shoulder surgery have been very entertaining aspects of RAW over the past few weeks.
I visited with Kevin Nash in Orlando recently, and he looked really good. His rehab is going well for his torn quadriceps muscle (thigh muscle), but I still do not expect him back for a couple more months, or closer to WrestleMania time. I might be a little conservative on this estimate, but we should err on the side of caution with this serious of an injury. It will be interesting to see what the veteran has left in his tank when he returns from this latest setback. I wouldn't count him out.
I am told the Undertaker is healing well from a variety of ailments and that the rest he has been able to get over the past few months has really helped him. I am not sure when we officially see 'Taker again in the ring but I personally can't imagine having a Royal Rumble without him. | Promote this thread! |             | PowerPB13

Seriously, they worked pretty well as a team on Monday's Raw, this could at least be entertaining...

Reposted on: 27.12.09 1717.52 | We've got so many injured guys coming back from the injured list, that this could be one of the better Royal Rumbles in years. We'll likely see:
Undertaker
Rhyno
Tajiri
Rey Mysterio
Kanyon
Randy Orton
Mark Henry
Kevin Nash (big maybe)
If they're all in game shape, the Royal Rumble could be fun. Then again, if they come back in bad shape, it could be bowling-shoe ugly.
I'm personally dreading the inevitable UT/A-Train face-off.
And while I'm on that tangent, is anybody else thinking (and fearing) that this year's Diesel push will go to ALBERT? | redsoxnation

Reposted on: 27.12.09 1909.28 | I'm guessing the Diesel moment will go to either A-Train or to Batista. Or, maybe both, since there are two rosters. And then when they're done, they can knock each other out.
I, for one, am looking forward to the Undertaker coming back. I'm still a big fan of his, and I still think he can go in the ring. As for Mark Henry, I'm apathetic. And as for Nash, well, I guess not everything can go my way.
But the return I'm looking forward to the most is that of Rhyno. I kinda miss the little guy. Wow, just a year and a half or two years ago, I never would have thought I'd say that. | The Great Thomas

I believe they're saving Rhyno's return as a surprise. I'm betting the house that Heyman has Rhyno run in for the title match at the Royal Rumble to set up a Benoit/Rhyno feud for No Way Out. | Shem the Penman

"Bowling-shoe ugly" is the phrase Ross usually uses on those rare occasions when he admits that a match sucked. Hence, it's passed into common currency.
Rhyno in the SD title scene? I know Heyman is big on him, but I can't see him jumping straight into the Benoit/Angle/Lesnar triangle. He'd be a good feud for Edge if he comes back as a heel -- Spear vs. Gore, Mark II.

Boston is after all "A TRAIN" ride from where he grew up... right at the end of the Orange Line. His dad is still a cop in the town where I'm currently hanging my hat.
So he gets the Diesel push and the hometown boy crap. If he doesn't get over on 1/19 it will never f'n happen. My guess: It'll never f'n happen.
But remember, IWC, he's just a pawn in all this. He didn't ask to get pushed above Mattitude. Some men are born with huge unwieldy pusHHHes, and some have these pushes droppped in their laps. | Net Hack Slasher

Reposted on: 28.12.09 0059.01 | Jim Ross visited Kevin Nash at his home! I could just imagine, Kevin Nash laying on his couch (and in his own filth) watching TV, beer in one hand and a huge bag of chips on his stomach, he lifts his head and looks out the window and he sees a big black cowboy hat walking up his front yard "Oh crap!" Nash says. He proceeds to shove and hide all has empty beer cans, porno rags and economy size potatoe chip bags under his couch.
DingDong goes the doorbell, "One Second!" yells Nash. He runs (actually Nash never runs he kind of waddles) to the closet door connected to his living room and pulls out his Nordicflex workout unit. Takes the sleeve of his sweatshirt and tries to remove as much of the cobwebs and dust that's been build up on the Nordicflex since he last used it and pulls it 6 feet to the middle of the living room.
Nash finally waddles to the door and opens it totally out of breath "Jim Ross *huff huff* what a surprise". Jim Ross looks at a sweating Nash and the Nordicflex behind him, "Have you been getting into shape?" Nash response doubled over and exhausted "I can honestly say I just had the hardest workout I've had in years". JR's happy "That's great, your rehab seems to be going so well. I'll write it up on my Ross Report this Friday."

Reposted on: 1.1.10 1929.02 | | I am looking forward to the Rhyno return, and I can see him joining team angle in protecting Kurt. I am looking forward to Randy Orton coming back to, it'll be nice to have another great undercard heel (maybe hold on that to see if his ring work is up to par after the injury) to join Chris Nowinski. Kanyon will add some good matches, and maybe we can turn it to the smackdown 7 (if they do TE 4 I would not be surprised of Kanyon being an instructor, I think him and Al Snow would have great chemistry). I think taker will come back for one more run, and it'll be interesting to see if they make it 11 straight at mania. Nash can stay injured for all I care, though I think he too may be putting in his last run. | BigVitoMark

Is this real? I don't actually READ the Ross Report, I get the gist of it from 411. Shit I hope that's fake, cause thats just not good at all... How can the Undertaker by in the upper-mid card when they can put him up against Albert/A-Train and have them coheadline WM :p) |
