WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some hilights of what JR wrote about:
His Firing On RAW: “WWE upper management made the call to remove me from weekly TV and that is their choice. It’s the WWE’s team and I simply am playing on it. Being a team guy, I run the plays that are sent in whether they make sense or not. Like my Dad taught me, if you accept a man’s money then do the work that the man wants. When one can’t handle the work or the silliness any longer, stop taking the cash and stay home and do something else. I’m not ready to leave the team that I helped build especially considering the vulnerable state the company was in when I took over Talent Relations.”
Will WWE hire Samoa Joe Some Day? “I don’t know as I’m not in that loop which should be obvious by some of the signees in recent years. 2. How does anyone know Joe wants to come to WWE? Personally, I like Joe’s work and his unique look which means he likely won’t be signed. Just saying…but you need to ask John Laurinaitis as he seems to be the genius of the week.”
Will Brock Lesnar Ever Wrestle In WWE Again?: “In my opinion, not any time soon but he is in the WWE12 video game which means that he makes more money off his WWE reputation just as he has done in UFC. Good deal for Lesnar. If Brock comes back to WWE it will likely be for a one time deal after his MMA days have ended as he doesn’t like travel or the overall mentality of the wrestling locker room or so it seems based on what Brock’s said. Plus, his ‘controversial remarks’ directed at Undertaker and Steve Austin merely create awareness and is good marketing. Too many fans take these types of comments as gospel.”
