WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his website and here are the highlights:

 

On fans comparing Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega to Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat matches:

“I had the privilege of commentating all three of the famous Flair-Steamboat trilogy of classics in 1989 and did it with three different partners, Magnum TA, Terry Funk, and Bob Caudle. Ric and Ricky were simply amazing in those bouts that still hold up very well today.

I get a kick out of some people trying to intelligently compare the recent Okada-Omega bouts to Flair-Steamboat as I feel that it is impossible to make valid judgments on matches that were held in totally different eras. I do agree that everyone has their own opinions of which we all should respect but to honestly say that any match is the greatest of all time, including the amazing, Flair-Steamboat bouts is iffy. Too many people rush to judgemental to declare “The Greatest Ever…” connotations when there is no documentable way to quantify and to decern what truly is the greatest match ever or the greatest wrestler ever for that matter as we all have our takes.”

On Ric Flair’s condition:

“The word that my long time friend and the greatest pro wrestler to ever live, Ric Flair, is in the hospital in intensive care has many of us concerned. As I write this, no official info has been released on the nature of Ric’s condition but heart issues are reportedly in the mix. Our thoughts are with Natich and his entire family on a speedy and full recovery.  Ric and I were sitting next to each other on a USAirways flight in the late 80’s when we both met my late, wife Jan. Ric likes to tell the story of how he “introduced Jan and me” of which I encourage because it makes him smile.”

On SummerSlam:

“Regarding Summer Slam, of which I have high expectations, I am anxious to see how Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura mesh bell to bell as this one could be a sleeper. Both men have much to prove, IMO, on this stage and in this specific match.  Also, I am not of the mindset that it is automatic that Brock Lesnar will lose the Universal Title Sunday. I could see, however, this huge main event setting up Lesnar vs Strowman down the road on another big stage.”
