Jim Ross is back from WWE's California tour and has thoughts regarding One Night Stand, Candice Michelle, MMA, Hulk Hogan's son & the Million Dollar giveaways. Here's a humorous excerpt from JR's Blog:

Monday night after Raw, as I was in the parking area of the arena in Bakersfield waiting on the King I was standing by our rental car when the sea of security, all heavily armed, walked by me with Mr. McMahon’s Million Dollars on the way to safely deposit it in an armored truck. One of the "Barney Fife’s" in a cheap suit, but packing heat, gave me a serious once over as if he thought I was casing the place. I honestly thought I saw him reach to near his hand to his gun….I never realized I looked so suspicious (must be the black hat)….nor did I think that the WWE’s crack security staff would not acknowledge that I was on the "home team". Obviously, when a million bucks in cash in being transferred these security guys are dead serious.
