NFL Commissioner Compared To Vince McMahon, Jim Ross Praises NXT, Jerry Lawler At Comic Con

- A new article by Bill Simmons of ESPN criticized NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell by comparing his reign as an authority figure to that of Vince McMahon. Simmons wrote on Grantland that Goodell is "worse than Vince McMahon during that one XFL season. He's worse than William Regal. (Inside joke for WWE nerds.)"

Goodell has come under fire regarding his handling of domestic abuse within the NFL.

- WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler will be a guest at Memphis Comic-Con on Saturday afternoon. For more information and guests, you can check out the list here.

- Jim Ross posted a new blog, complimenting NXT and the Takeover II main event in particular. Ross wrote:

"Thought the main event, fatal four way, which can be a cluster, was well booked and executed. All the talents in this match plus the producers who put it together deserve a big time attaboy. Lots of effort and a nice story was told. Several unique agendas were touched on in this contest which is the mark of solid booking. Tyson Kidd once again demonstrated why he is one of the most under utilized talents in WWE IMO. Sami Zayn has been stellar since day one in NXT and has a bright future ahead of him. the Lance Storm trained Tyler Breeze has a great, TV persona and has every heel trait one could want in a talent. He gets it. Adrian Neville continues to remind me of a young, Tommy Billington which is a good thing as it relates to his in ring work and he, too, has a future on the WWE main roster at some point in time."
