Jamie Jones: Lesnar not likely for full-time duty

Published 11:25 pm Thursday, January 5, 2012

Here are the notes and news items from the week in pro wrestling: Now that Brock Lesnar has retired from UFC, will he return to WWE?

No way, according to Jim Ross.

“Will Brock Lesnar return to WWE full time or part time? For those that know Brock well, the answer to this question is actually quite simple. It’s NO,” Ross wrote on his blog, www.jrsbarbq.com. “I could see Brock doing a major, one-off WWE appearance a lá Wrestlemania, but not this year, and doing so while not even making the live Raw events that lead into it.”

• The Heartbreak Kid has gone mainstream. WWE Hall of Fame Shawn Michaels is included in a new song by rapper 50 Cent. Michaels went to Twitter to send out his thanks.

“Thank you very much to @50cent for the shout out, if it is indeed for me … does that give this country boy official street cred?”

• “Rowdy” Roddy Piper has hinted he wants to return to the ring for a final match.
