Cena on G4 Network date, Storm on JR being removed, event canceled
On Thursday, October 13, 2005 at 3:24 PM EST As noted yesterday, WWE Champion John Cena filmed an appearance for the video game network G4's Training Camp program. That show is scheduled to air on November 15 at 11:30 p.m. Eastern. Cena's appearance will be featured on the debut episode of the series.
Lance Storm recently commented on the removal of Jim Ross from the RAW announce team on his official website. Storm writes, "I think replacing JR is a HUGE mistake. No one sells excitement or emotion like JR. He is the best announcer in the history of this business. He knows how to get stuff over. WCW fired him once because they thought he was un-hip and too red neck, and that was a mistake. Fans don’t need to like, relate to, or even want to look at an announcer, they need to be able to hear him and he needs to be able to translate what we are seeing and no one does it better than JR. Good announcing can save a bad show and bad announcing can kill a great one. JR is priceless in my opinion."
