Bully Ray Defends Hardcore Wrestling, Jim Ross Note, John Morrison Note, Maryse

– Jim Ross will be announcing a portion of the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics game tonight on the Celtics radio network and NBA.com.

– The Sun has an interview with TNA star Bully Ray, who defended hardcore wrestling. "I will take bigger risks when the risk is warranted. If the story merits the bigger risk, I will do it. I will try not to do anything just for the sake of doing it," said Ray. "I don't do things to get a 'pop' ? I guess that's the jargon that the 'smarter' wrestling fan will use ? I do things that make sense in the story that I'm trying to tell. At the end of the day, I'm a tough b*****d and I know what I can handle and what I can't."
