Jim Ross Plays Nice with Michael Cole, Still Loves Food
__________________________________________________________________________
Previously, our 10 gallon hat hero hit the road to be a part of the historic announcement of Sin Cara’s signing. Back in the states, Ross has plenty of fresh, new subjects to slobber over including as Sin Cara, Michael Cole, and food. Okay, maybe they’re not new subjects but there is a Cam Newton sighting.
Sin Cara….not sure when he will debut but assume it will be after WM27. I know both Raw and Smackdown brands are keenly interested in the young, masked performer. He’s very talented and will dazzle many with his high flying skills. If you’re not familiar with Sin Cara go on You Tube and check out ‘Mistico.’ It’s amazing that so many experts have it figured out that WWE will not fully maximize Sin Cara’s abilities which at this stage of the process is a joke.
You tell em, James. I mean, the prevailing cynicism is simply ridiculous and unfounded. Just how could anybody question WWE’s ability to maximize somebody’s talents and abilities? You have first hand knowledge of WWE’s propensity to do just that as they have taken full advantage of your world class recruiting and figurehead abilities instead of featuring announcing skills that have been less than par.
Cam Newton…No I’m not a Newton ‘hater’ (Not high on fig newtons) as he’s a gifted athlete who will be a viable NFL QB in time.
There’s that infamous ‘gifted athlete’ line that announcers love using about young black athletes to imply that they’re too damn lazy to work for such talent the way Tyler Hansborough and Dallas Clark do. But I’ll let this one slide because Ross is from the South and he knows not what he does. I just better not see the word ‘colored’ in the next paragraph.
Much of how successful Newton is depends on where he goes but he’s a big timer. My point was that now is not the time for the former Auburn QB to be talking that much. He’s got perceived ‘baggage’ and he needs to simply focus on his on field work and not practicing his promo skills. Less is more for Cam Newton during the interview process especially when it comes to his non football ad libs.
But that would mean America would be deprived of that beautiful Cam Newton smile that will sell us a pair of Nikes in the future. ARE YOU SAYING YOU DO NOT APPRECIATE CAM NEWTON’S WONDERFUL SMILE?!
Michael Cole…no one in WWE has done a better job of developing a new persona than has Michael Cole over the past few months. His goal was to get people to see another side of him, he does have an outgoing personality, and to dislike him enough to want to see someone kick his butt. Cole has succeeded in that task. Does Cole rub me the wrong way onhttp://big-nasty.com/wp-admin/post-new.php TV more often than not? Absolutely. He can be a tool.
I’ve been saying this all along. And three sentences of complimentary praise before a pair of zingers must be some kind of record for JRsBarbq.com.
The question is will Cole accept King’s WM27 challenge and if so will Cole have any ‘demands’ that Jerry will have to acquiesce to in order to make the WM27 match happen? This is nothing new to King who dealt with the same issues with Andy Kaufman and Jimmy Hart back in the day. I’m highly interested in this matter for a variety of reasons.
Somebody got a leaked RAW script. Don’t they watermark those things these days? I thought Dave Lagana got fired.
One of my favorite NFL players recently ordered a bunch of products from our on line store. I won’t mention his name due to confidentiality matters but suffice it to say that I have followed his long career on the gridiron and appreciate his business.
Little do you know he plans on opening his own bar-b-q website and sell all your shit half price should the NFL experience a lockout.
UFC 127…The Australian fans were lively and helped enhance the PPV Saturday night. I thought the show was solid but not great as the draw in the main event featuring Penn-Finch was a flat conclusion to the event.
Agreed. And it’s Fitch.
Brit Michael Bisping did not endure himself to some MMA fans for a cheap shot on Jorge Rivera not to mention Bisping’s classless conduct immediately following the conclusion of the fight. Bisping’s ‘apology’ to cover his backside seemed about as sincere as an ex-mother in law’s hug. However, UFC does need UK stars to continue to build their brand’s base in the UK and Bisping helps with that matter.
That’s Jim Ross calling you a token, Bisping. That just fucking happened!
Charlie Sheen…
Oh glory, glory I can’t wait for this. You have me at Sheen, Ross. You have me at Sheen.
...to respond to a Twitter follower @JRsBBQ I would guess that Charlie Sheen would NOT be a part of WM27 but that’s merely my take. Sheen has bigger fish to fry in his personal life and his inclusion in WWE’s biggest event of the year seems like a risk and an unnecessary distraction.
Because Charlie Sheen does such a great job of going to work every day, punching a clock, and not having worry about being distracted by hookers drugs, and the 1990 Cincinnati Reds. Don’t gimme that shit, Cowboy. I wanna see Charlie Sheen on center stage at Wrestlemania XXVII manically tearing off turnbuckles with his mouth and swinging on security while a frightened Kelly Kelly hides under the ring.
Happy Birthday #58 to Ricky ‘the Dragon’ Steamboat who is one of the best in ring performers I ever saw. Fans still talk about the 1989 NWA Title bout that Ricky had with Ric Flair in Chicago on a WCW PPV that I had the privilege of handling the PXP. Steamboat’s skill set was spectacular and he is a great teacher of fundamental wrestling skills today. Ricky is a superb example of wrestlers to watch on DVD or You Tube to see how to master one’s craft. I never saw Steamboat have a bad match.
The Wrestlemania XXV followup at Backlash against Jericho wasn’t his best stuff, but this is true for the most part. Ricky Steamboat also never turned heel which is even more impressive. Just once, I would have liked to have seen Steamboat breathing fire into live crowds like Godzilla used to.
Cruserweights…This one it a hot button with many fans.
Not I! Purist crap. Next!
I am a fan of the smaller athletes having grown up a fan in Oklahoma which was a Junior Heavyweight territory for decades. Promoters for years have had the mindset that the smaller men aren’t perceived as top of the card guys. I’ve even brought wrestlers to companies who were adamant to NOT be called a Cruiserweight upon debuting in said company. Many wrestlers view being termed a Cruiserweight, etc as the ‘kiss of death.’
Chris Jericho continues to explore options outside the world of pro wrestling with the announcement of being included on the next ABC’s Dancing with the Stars cast. Jericho’s book ‘Undisputed’ is the best wrestling book that I’ve read in a long, long time and I suggest that you check it out. It’s honest and eye opening on a variety of fronts. With that said, do I think that Chris has wrestled his last match? Nope. Do I think that Jericho will return @ WM27? No.
I hate to be a cynic, but I’m calling Chris Jericho being voted out in the first week. And, furthermore, why are you such a sourpuss when it comes to people asking about returns? Whenever you addresses questions of a wrestling return on your blog, the answer is always no. Hey Ross, is Chris Jericho returning at Wrestlemania? (no) Hey Ross, is the Rock ever returning to a wrestling ring? (no) Hey Ross, this Chipotle Ketchup sucks. Can I return it? (no)
Does anyone know where I can purchase say 100 or more copies of our original cookbook, ‘Can You Take The Heat?’ Is there a book outlet any one knows of that I can pursue?
Borders. I hear that mystery NFL player will be selling them half price on his website fuckthislockout.com.
Anxious to hear what the Rock has to say on Monday Night Raw re: John Cena’s retort last week. One has to assume that the ‘Great One’ will likely also respond to WWE Champion The Miz. Rock is on Twitter @TheRock.
Anyone else get the feeling that Rock’s current WWE comeback is an elaborate disguise for him to launch his social network before diving back into movies with the backing of millions (and millions) of potential moviegoers?
My instincts tell me that MNR from Buffalo, which looks to be at near capacity as I write this, will be a very interesting broadcast now that the road to WM27 is underway. Lots of matters to address and ‘button up’ and to further.
One of the matters appears to have spilled coffee all over his green button up, aint that right Sheamus?
Many of my friends loved the HHH-Undertaker interaction on Raw last week as did I. The two icons sold tickets with body English, their eyes, facial expressions, and animalistic presence. One can assume that we will hear from the participants this week on Raw and/or Smackdown as to their individual thoughts on this huge ‘Mania attraction. No two men in WWE take more pride in their profession than do ‘The Game’ or the ‘Deadman.’ Gotta assume that ‘The Steak’ will once again be the show closer in the Georgia Dome the first Sunday in April. If I was a WWE Superstar, no jokes please, I wouldn’t want to follow Undertaker vs. HHH.
I’m not a big fan of closing a Wrestlemania with a non-title match. The last two years have been exceptions as I felt Taker/HBK should have closed XXV and rightfully closed XXVI. However The Rock has to be in the final frame of Wrestlemania XXVI, and given the heat between him and Triple H, there is no way that is happening with Triple H in the main event.
Will the next WWE HOF inductee be announced on Raw from Buffalo? I suspect so and it might be a surprise to some if my suspicions come true.
Steve Lombardi.
It’s amazing how many times a day I get Tweets @JRsBBQ or emails to this site asking me when I’m returning to WWE. I’ve been with WWE since 1993 but left the air due to health reasons in October of 2009 but never left the company. Am I coming back to work on a weekly TV show or on a PPV? No. That’s not my call folks. Would I like to?
Almost too much.
Of course particularly the PPV side of that equation. Some of you that follow up regularly must be getting tired of this too but apparently we are gaining new followers on Twitter and new visitors to this site daily.
So that’s your excuse for refusing to shut up about Michael Cole and how he TUK YER JUUUUUB?!!! I recently started following you on twitter, but in no way am I new to your rantings of being mired in WWE oblivion for the better part of two years.
BTW I’m feeling great and my health is better than it’s been in a decade I’m blessed to say.
Well that’s always good.
Thanks for stopping by and for being kind enough to allow us to help you gear up for Grilling Season. Try mixing our Chipotle Ketchup, Main Event Mustard and Sweet Pickle Relish together, to taste, as it makes for an AWESOME topping for grilled hot dogs, burgers, or any other sandwich one can imagine. Try it.
That actually sounds really good. I’m going to Google that mystery NFL player’s website right now and get me some!
