Following a story.
Jim Ross is back with another blog on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights:

- Thoughts on the Internet Title? Seems like a tongue in cheek title that isn’t taken seriously.

- Jimmy Hart’s future? The WWE HOF’er has been doing some PR related activities with WWE of which he is excellent. I don’t know what Jimmy’s plans are but he’s still fun to be around.

- Would JBL return to WWE? That’s a question for John to address but my gut says yes if it was a role that he embraced. Perhaps working only TV’s in some capacity would suit the talented, Texan. JBL would bring star power and a bigger than life personality to WWE TV.

- How do I compare Booker’s announcing to JBL or Mick Foley’s work? Really not fair for me to judge my peers but all three are uniquely different talents. Booker is in a new role and not unlike wrestling it takes time to develop one’s game. Broadcasting the genre isn’t easy.

- What talents have I especially enjoyed in WWE developmental? Actually there are several including Husky Harris, Bo Rotundo, Johnny Curtis, Seth Rollins, Ritchie Steamboat and Brodus Clay, among others. I always leave some out so don’t take that as an indication that I don’t enjoy other’s work. Going off the top of my head here.
