Jim Ross Regrets Not Being Able to Call a Greatest Royal Rumble Match With Jerry Lawler

May 13, 2018 | Posted by Jeffrey Harris

– During a recent edition of his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross spoke about the experience of being in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for the Greatest Royal Rumble event. He also voiced his one regret in not being able to call a match with Lawler during the show (via WrestlingInc.com), which you can read his comments below.

“I wish we would have had the chance to call one match. And I think, hopefully, the guys – Cole, and Graves, and Byron – could have used that match to go refresh themselves, so to speak. You know, really. Stretch your legs, go to the bathroom, and we could have done one match. I think we would have done great. But, that was not the call, or the plays that were run by the coach, so we do what we did. But that’s my only regret that we didn’t get to call a match, I’d like to have done one match with you in Saudi.”
