JR and host Conrad Thompson reviewed the WrestleMania 27 PPV, in which Randy Orton and CM Punk had a singles match.
I think he has a lot to offer: Jim Ross on why he wants CM Punk to return

Jim Ross explained that CM Punk earned his peers’ respect, the current crop of wrestlers, who probably grew up idolizing Phil Brooks. He said that a lot of current wrestlers can learn a lot from the former WWE Champion.

CM Punk’s in-ring return has the potential to be the biggest draw in decades, but will everything fall into place in the near future?
