On this week's edition of The Straight Shooters wrestling podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross joins Nick and Vaughn as they preview Sunday's SummerSlam event. The guys go over the top matches on the card and also preview NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II.
Ross is also a noted Oklahoma Sooner football enthusiast, so he gives us his thoughts on Lane Johnson and Sam Bradford. It's a must-listen for Eagles fans.
