Below are several highlights from Jim Ross' latest blog entry over at JRSBarBQ.com:
Jim Ross Comments On Raw vs. Smackdown 08: Raw vs. Smackdown 08 video game is big time to say the least and the addition of Rick Rude, among others, is huge for all gamers. If you are a wrestling fan and like to play video games, I don’t see how one cannot make this purchase.
Jim Ross On Talk Of Hogan/Hitman Match In 1993: I heard when I first came to the WWE in 1993 that there was going to be a Hulk-Hitman match or matches, but that Hogan had second thoughts.
Jim Ross On Ric Flair Future: To the best of my knowledge, Ric Flair is still an active member of the WWE and is still on the payroll. The rumors surrounding Ric’s future are flying, but Ric has not told me he was quitting. I will believe it when I see it and as I have said on many occasions I feel that Ric still has a great deal to offer the business, as his legacy could be enhanced and should live forever.

Jim Ross On His Own Future: I am in hopes of re-signing with the WWE and talks are on going. I don’t see any immediate issues on the negotiation horizon.

My wrestling career has been a blessed one that I would have never envisioned over 30 years ago, but all things have to come to an end at some point.
