Here are some news & notes from the latest "Ross Report" with Jim Ross on WWE.com for September 29th:

- JR talks about the censoring that took place on the WWE's final broadcast on Spike TV last Monday night. Ross added, "The person who had the challenge of pushing the “censor button” probably needed a cold beverage after that two-hour, wild car chase. It sure seems like this matter has gotten a lot of play with the media. Was it that big a deal?"

- Ross talks about the big 3-hour edition of WWE RAW this Monday night when the company returns to the USA Network for the "Homecoming" show. He talks about how good the 30 Minute Iron Man Match between Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle is expected to be.

- JR mentions how Shelton Benjamin spoke on the mic for the first time in a while on RAW last week against Kerwin White. Ross added, "Benjamin speaks! Benjamin speaks! Shelton Benjamin verbally communicated with everyone Monday Night on RAW. O.K., I’m being a wise ass, but it was good to hear the finest all-around athlete in WWE express himself."

- He mentions the "Money in the Bank - Loser Leaves RAW" Ladder Match between Matt Hardy and Edge this Monday and hopes neither get seriously injured.

- In regards to the new tag team of Viscera and Val Venis, Ross added, "V Squared…a large man who wrestles in his equally large PJs and whose partner is a former 'adult-film star.' Only in WWE."

- Ross jokes that The Piper's Pit segment with Roddy Piper and Mick Foley might take up the whole show and adds that he hopes "the Rowdy One drinks Sanka or herbal tea during the day." He mentions that Triple H is also ready to return on Monday night and that his appearance would make quite an "impact" as it involves Ric Flair.

- JR talks about the troubles Friday Night SmackDown is facing every week with baseball preemptions.

- Ross then closes off the latest edition with some very interesting e-mails involving the Ultimate Warrior, Kevin Nash, Jeff Hardy, The Rock, Chris Jericho's WWE status and more. To check it out, click here.
