WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has
posted a new blog on
his official website – JRSBARBQ.com. Here are some highlights:
– Excited to head to Waterloo, Iowa July
18-19 for the annual National Wrestling Hall of Fame weekend at the Dan Gable
Museum. All wrestling fans no matter amateur or pro should see the museum once
in their life as it is truly fascinating and one of the bucket list days of my
entire year. Randy Couture, The Steiner Brothers, DDP, Larry Hennig, Larry
Matysik, For info on tickets to attend this weekend that includes a banquet,
live, pro wrestling event, pro tryouts and the chance to meet the greats of the
game you can call 319-233-0745 or visit them on Facebook. I will MC the banquet
on Saturday July 19 and will also attend the pro wrestling event with WWE HOFer
Jerry Brisco on Friday night July 18.
This is the most fan and family
friendly event in wrestling. Again, call 319-233-0745 for information. I’d love
to see you there. I’m bringing the JR’s! 🙂
– What do you think of Bray
Wyatt being a character baby face after being turned on by Harper and Rowan who
then become managed by Jake Roberts who builds his own faction?
Harper is
a star in the waiting and the key to Rowan achieving a high level of success is
him showing more animation and personality in the ring and being able to master
a promo.
– Bo Dallas was the consummate, ivory snow baby face in NXT for
a long, long time until the fans organically turned on him for being too
goody-goody. The current incarnation of Bo Dallas isn’t as organic as what made
him an antagonist in NXT but I hope it will eventually work for the young man’s
sake. He’s a good kid who works hard and is a natural athlete. Only time will
tell if this presentation clicks and the timing inasmuch as how long the persona
is left to evolve and/or to tweak is critical.
– Brodus Clay always
reminded me of the UWF version or the One Man Gang. Perhaps some day Brodus can
see if my premonition actually is accurate. If Brodus can maintain a healthy,
athletic weight so he can feed the comebacks approiately he has a shot at
becoming a main event level heel IMO.
How many WWE talent cuts were essentially ‘comedic’
characters? It takes a special individual, terrific writing, and a little luck
to be able to sell more marketable sizzle than to deliver more athletic
steak.
If you buy a JR’s shirt of any design from
prowrestlingtees.com/jimross you will receive a FREE JR’s RINGSIDE event shirt
while they last.
#UFC174 card is made better because UFC using rankings
as in their top ten in each weight division to market their fights. It’s a tried
and true methodology used in sports forever. For example, Rory MacDonald vs.
Tyron Woodley is a pairing of #2 vs. #3 which makes that particular fight more
intriguing. The fight is on PPV tonight (Saturday) and is not a star laden card
on the surface but is the kind of line up that can be a legit sleeper. Plus, the
Canadian crowd in Vancouver should be red hot.
