Triple H Praises Jim Ross And Jerry Lawler For Their Contribution To WWE Television

WWE Superstar and COO Triple H recently spoke with USA Today’s “For The Win” blog where he promoted Raw’s 25th anniversary and praised the commentary team of WWE Hall Of Farmers Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler who will be reuniting for the big event in New York City which takes place on January 22 from both the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and Manhattan Center’s Grand Ballroom
