There's so much that we couldn't preview here because we don't want to ruin the show results by posting spoilers.
Warren County resident and former professional wrestler Jim “Hillbilly Jim” Morris is accused of punching a man Monday in Bowling Green.
Morris and Roy Henson, 49, a teacher at Bowling Green High School, got into an argument about Henson’s dogs at the Natcher Elementary School park area. Morris approached Henson after Henson’s dogs were around Morris’ feet and barking at him, according to a Bowling Green Police Department report. The incident occurred between 7:50 p.m. and 8:06 p.m.
Morris, who’s age was not available, told Henson there was a dog park down the road and that Henson needed to go there, according to the report.
The two then exchanged words and Henson said Morris punched him, according to the report.
Henson told police that Morris said he was a sheriff’s deputy and would “take care of him,” according to the report.
Morris denied punching Henson, but acknowledged that the two got into an argument and he pushed Henson back, according to the report.
Henson did not have any visible injuries when police arrived, according to the report.
Charges have not been filed because the incident was classified by police as a fourth-degree assault – a misdemeanor. Henson would have to go the Warren County Attorney’s Office to press charges.
Henson had not attempted to press charges as of Wednesday afternoon, said Amy Milliken, county attorney.
When contacted by phone Wednesday, Henson said he did not have a comment about the incident, but did say it was unfortunate.
“I didn’t think when I went out to walk my dog something like this would happen,” he said.
Henson said he had not decided if he will press charges.
Attempts to contact Morris through his Web site were not successful.
The new LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA defends his title against former champion Nikita Koloff and the reinstated LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway gets some shocking news.
- Ron Garvin vs. Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin (with Precious) - The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express vs. The Bolsheviks (with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie). - LCW International Champion Paul Orndorff vs. Iceman King Parsons (with Dark Journey). - Demolition vs. The Midnight Express. - Wildfire Tommy Rich vs. One Man Gang.
All this and much, MUCH more only on this week's edition of LCW Showdown.
[News Update] Jim Ross Updates Blog; Apologizes For Earlier Blog
Jim Ross just posted another message on his personal blog at jrsbarbq.com:
Changes in one’s life take some adjusting to especially at my stage of the game. This week I received an unexpected change in my professional address. Within hours of writing an emotional blog, I am positively moving on. I am going to do all I can to make Smackdown the best program the WWE produces. Working side by side with Mick Foley should be fun. It will be entertaining I assure you. Mick is a great friend and a man I greatly respect. The Smackdown roster is loaded with exceptional talent and the WWE wants the brand to grow and I intend to do all that I can in my role to facilitate that growth.
The abruptness of the “trade” shocked me. I most likely responded in a non professional way in the eyes of some fans. That’s their prerogative and each has the right to their opinion, As do I. Not to be cliche, but wrestling has been great to my family and me. I owe it to the business to “man up” and to kick ass on Smackdown. That’s my plan. My emotions are what they are and I will not apologize for my candor or honesty. My feathers were ruffled…poor me. I still bring bona fide passion to every broadcast and fully expect to deliver come show time. As I write this I am in the midst of some travel delays, but I will definitely be in Houston and will be looking forward to “business picking up”. I will practice what I have preached and feel that after sleeping on this major change all things happen for a reason. Life is good. My tank has been re-fueled. Let’s have some fun. For those of you that were offended by my earlier rant I apologize. For those that think “old J.R.” can’t get the job done, I suggest you sit back and watch. I wish my good pal The King and Michael Cole great success but my professional priority is to help Smackdown kick ass. In more ways than one, “the game is on”.
[Breaking News] Jim Ross Almost Quit WWE Last Night
The following is from Jim Ross' personal blog at jrsbarbq.com:
As many of you know, I was “drafted” to Smackdown Monday night in the “random lottery”. Obviously that means I will be leaving Monday Night Raw and my long time partner Jerry Lawler.
I am not happy about this surprise development.
I also contemplated calling it a career Monday night and not going to Houston to tape SD.
After speaking with my wife and thinking on this matter until 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, I have decided to do the right thing for the fans who care and the talent who care and begin my new assignment.
It has been explained to me that the WWE’s Smackdown tenure on My Network is a high priority within the corporation. Allegedly, my presence is needed in that effort.
Many are speculating about when I learned of this development…the same time those of you were watching at home. I should have detected something with the demeanor of certain individuals either thru their plastic, poker faces or the perceived smirk that I thought I might have seen on some of their faces during the day.
As far as going to Connecticut each week to do Smackdown post production, that’s not going to happen. Either Mick Foley can handle it or the WWE can install a DSL line in my home to facilitate the work.
I will miss working with the King as the wrestling biz is one in which a guy can count his legit friends on one hand…even after a 30 plus year career. King has been like a brother to me….albeit an “older brother”. We will remain friends no matter that our team has been corporately imploded.
I believe that I have been strongly loyal to the WWE no matter the hands that were dealt to me over the years. In my tenure there I have earned a good living of which I am thankful. I will fulfill my commitments that I have made because unlike many in the business, my word is still my bond.
I can’t predict how long my Smackdown tenure will be, but I can promise that no matter how long or short it is that I will do my utmost best while sitting at ringside. I am not the kind of man who will “phone in” a damn thing.
My sincere thanks to all of you who have supported me on RAW over the years. I hope I was able to provide you a memory or two. Hopefully, we can create new memories now on Smackdown.
Based on my professional experiences, I look at each broadcast as potentially my last, which helps keep me motivated. So with that said we begin another chapter in my crazy life in the unpredictable world of ‘rasslin.
I still plan on attending RAW in my home market of OKC next Monday and I hear that tickets are still available. Any one have any extras?
