The following is a paraphrased version of Jim Ross' "Ross Report".

Injury Updates

- The Undertaker is having back trouble and thus will be kept off House Shows this weekend. He will still compete in the Royal Rumble.

- The Lethal Weapon Steve Blackman may need to have surgery on two herniated disks in his neck, and a bone spur pushing against his spinal cord.

- Trish has a torn thumb ligament.

- William Regal is back to full fitness after 3 surgeries on his nose.

- Randy Orton is still experiencing some soreness on his injured shoulder, but is showing great stamina by working through the pain.

- Mike Awesome is expected back from ACL surgery in 4-5 months.

- Chris Kanyon is also recovering from ACL surgery, and is expected back sometime after WrestleMania.

- Test is in “pain management therapy” for back pains. He will not miss any time.

- Hardcore Holly should be back in about 3 months, after having surgery on his injured arm. Holly participated in a one off tag match at the Jakked tapings before Raw the other week, but that is all it was, a one off.

- Benoit should be back sometime after mid March.

- 3 Months after neck surgery, Rhyno is healing well and expected to be out for another 6 months.

- Taka should be back from a shoulder injury in early march. Damn, guess that means no Taka in the Rumble this year then.

- X-Pac will rid himself of ring rust in a developmental area for 2 weeks, before a TV return.
