Pollock believes that Lesnar will re-sign with WWE when his current contract expires, but he also thinks Lesnar will use a potential return to UFC as a negotiation tool. Pollock truly believes that Lesnar loves to fight and he’d probably do it for pennies if the timing was right. Stars are also in extremely short supply for UFC right now, so a return to the octagon isn’t out of the question for Lesnar.
Ross asks Pollock about Vince McMahon’s new venture, Alpha Entertainment. Pollock points out that through investing over $100 Million of his own money, McMahon has proven that he’s very serious about this venture and this might require him to tone down his role in WWE. Pollock thinks most people, McMahon included would be confident in Triple H taking over at the head of WWE, but it’s hard to guess when that time will come.
Pollock asks Ross if he’d be interested in calling football games again if McMahon does indeed start a new football league. Ross says he’d love to call football again, but he’d like to get paid more this time. When he called XFL games with Jerry Lawler they were only paid $1,500 per game.
That sums up this week’s episode of The Ross Report. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
