Jim Ross Books a WrestleMania XXVII Announce Team Designed to Scare WWE Shitless
__________________________________________________________________________
The following was written on Thursday night with a historical, Tarheelian episode of TNA Impact serving as formidable background noise.
Previously, Jim Ross was warming up to Michael Cole while selling his food products to a famous athlete whose name he withheld. Ross is back at it, still speaking highly of Michael Cole and still selling his meat to famous people who lack anonymity in this particular blog post.
Beautiful day in Norman, Oklahoma. Thanks for stopping by. Here are some quick, random thoughts…
Good, because Impact is on and TNA as background noise can only be so coherent.
These are questions from emailers to our Q&A section and Tweets to @JRsBBQ:
Who’s calling/broadcasting WM27? I honestly have no idea. I don’t know the thought process in using Cole or King on the show as broadcasters. This is a WWE decision but if they don’t announce this particular event, I’d find it challenging for them to, then I supposed that Josh Mathews wold be joined by Booker T and/or Striker, Grisham.
Here’s Jim Ross’ gentle, Southern way of saying your guys’ biggest show of the year is so federally fucked if you don’t have me behind an announce desk in place of Cole and Lawler. Good luck trying to announce WrestleMania without me, FUCKERS!
Perhaps WWE will enlist @JoeyStyles to get back in the saddle for one night only. Who knows?
And the embittered, veiled sarcasm persists. This is passive aggressiveness that Brad Childress couldn’t fuck with on his best day.
Is there room for both Rey and Sin Cara in WWE? Absolutely. Why not?
Because they’re both Mexican, diminutive Luchador enmascarados. They’ll be practically interchangeable when Sin Cara gets over, and if Rey suffers yet another injury, he will run the risk of being permanently replaced. Mason Ryan in a few years, with Batista gone, will be another example of WWE’s replacement tendencies. Remember when fake Diesel came to WWE for a stretch? Remember fake Razor? You should…
And just what is the over/under on the amount of Sin Cara masks that Mysterio sees at live events before he loses it and performs Senton Splashes into live crowds in a fit of jealous rage?
Do some feel that because both are Hispanic, masked stars that they cannot both be major assets in WWE at the same time. I think not.
Then name one other masked Luchador who has succeeded in WWE since Mysterio’s signing. Name one other bald man with a goatee who succeeded in WWE while Steve Austin was hot (don’t say Gillberg). I want to see Michael Cole pick up a black cowboy hat and try it on for size just to prove my point.
WWE is lucky to have both men. Rey is an established main event star and a future Hall of Famer while Sin Cara has a huge upside but has to prove himself to the WWE fans.
Okay. I’m convinced that this isn’t a strategic move by WWE to slowly replace an injury-plague Rey Mysterio on the back end of his career. This is simply WWE adding another kid to their sandbox so that Rey Mysterio can have someone to trade masks and carne asada with. No replacement. Any similarities are strictly coincidental.
Check out the Q&A’s I updated earlier today and read the one about Jerry Seinfeld eating JR’s Beef Jerky and what he told a fan about it.
And what is the deal with beef jerky? I just had a whole bag and I didn’t move an inch!
An emailers dram match would be one I would love to call, Bret Hart vs. Kurt Angle in a Submission Match. Very nice selection indeed. I would love to see Hitman at WM27 and you can follow him on Twitter @HitmanBretSHart. He’s a fan of our products and we’ve shipped him sauces, etc to Hawaii and Calgary.
Don’t you tease me with Kurt Angle and Bret Hart contingencies, Ross. DON’T YOU PLAY THAT WITH ME TONIGHT!
Wrote that I loved the remake of True Grit by the Cohen Brothers…I think they got hosed at the Oscars….but I was asked if I could ever see a remake of one of John Wayne’s classics and a personal favorite, ‘The Quiet Man?’ That film is on hallowed ground IMO but it would be interesting to see who would be cast in the key roles of the classic that was filmed in Ireland. Please….no Sheamus or Finlay suggestions. 
For all its hype and Oscar euphoria, True Grit was anti-climactic and fizzled out towards the end. Don’t be manipulated by the pretty horses and black cowboy hats.
I agree with many emailers that Michael Cole is the type of antagonist that one legitimately wants to see get beat up and humiliated.
Which makes him a great heel whether anybody wants to admit it or not. Sure he took your job and doesn’t do it as well, but he’s Vince McMahon reincarnate – Mediocre announcer, great character.
He has Cornette-like heat hearkening back to the Mid South days where fans lined up in droves to see somebody, anybody humiliate the manager of the Midnight Express. Same emotion elicited by the late Andy Kaufman in Memphis. BTW most fans don’t realize that the Lawler-Kaufman issue lasted well over a year.
I want to see Michael Cole pile driven at WrestleMania XXVII, forcing him to wear a neck brace for six months while on commentary. The heel implications are orgasmic.
The large Cowboy, Bill Watts, even put Cornette in a dress, a diaper and I think had JC drinking out of a baby’s bottle while selling a ton of tickets. People loved to see the indignation of one of the territories all time, most despised villains.
Now Cornette does all those things because he’s gone fucking batshit.
I’ll be showing my athletic prowess this week at the Bob Stoops Foundation Bowling Tournament in Norman. Coach Stoops has a great charity that helps kids in the Norman and OKC area.
Ross’ athletic prowess will be illustrated not by his bowling abilities, but by Ross shamelessly chasing after Stoops begging him to pull some strings to get him a gig announcing OU games.
Will Paul Boesch ever make it into the WWE HOF?
As long as I barely know who he is, no. WWE has brainwashed him out of my memory and I prefer to keep it that way.
BTW I had my first Whataburger in Houston if you’re keeping score at home. Yes, Whataburger is my favorite burger joint on the road. By far.
That’s a burial of your old restaurant in Norman similar to WWE executive Triple H’s burial of his own roster this past Monday night.
I am personally ecstatic that The Rock is back in WWE for WM27 and no matter Rock’s role he’s going to positively add to the event in multiple areas. Rock is a huge star on several fronts and his promo ability is as good as it gets. People ‘over think’ Rock’s return as in what’s going to happen when he’s not on TV? How does he make Cena/Miz look? What happens if Rock steals the show in Atlanta, etc?
It is good to see the Rock back. It’s almost too good – no – it is too good because WWE is building up Cena and Rock’s war of words as if they were going to face off at WrestleMania XXVII. When they don’t, the ensuing disappointment could be enough to engulf Cena/Miz. The Rock said nothing about Miz in his last promo. Rock and Cena is a match that screams WrestleMania. It won’t happen, and the substitute main event that has been featured on free TV in the recent past will be laced with adversity.
All talents throughout the Raw and Smackdown rosters need to step it up to attempt to get on Rock’s level. Competition is great for everyone. If Rock, Austin, etc make the incumbents dig a little deeper to perform at a higher level then everyone wins especially the fans.
No. The fans win temporarily and the roster loses when Austin and Rock leave and the inevitable juxtaposition renders the young roster lame.
How anyone can intelligently argue that WWE made a mistake bringing Rock back for WM27 is goofier than a pet coon and need to stop drinking the bong water.
WWE did not make a mistake bringing back the Rock. Not at all. The Miztake they’re making is placing so much emphasis on an inevitably anti climactic Cena-Rock feud when getting over their young champion in the Miz should be their primary focus.
Enjoyed Monday Night Raw but found myself watching it a second time on DVR to make sure that I absorbed all the info that I needed to process while watching the program life. Whew.
Signs that RAW had too many talking segments: Jim Ross had to rewind the entire show and watch it again just to retain the information that was incessantly puked on his lap. Jim Ross should NEVER have to re-watch an entire episode of RAW. This is Jim Ross’ life we’re talking about! That’s two hours Jim Ross will never get back!
Great to see Bob Armstrong being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. ‘The Bullet’ was a stud and one of the key players in the history of Georgia Wrestling and pro wrestling throughout the southeast without question.
Perhaps Road Dogg inducts his daddy? With X-Pac, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H in the building, perhaps we could see a little DX reunion? Maybe shoot a segment where the guys invade a rehab facility in an army tank in hopes of rescuing Scott Hall?
I’m headed out soon to pick up more JR’s Beef Jerky which is big league when dipped in our Main Event Mustard.
I took a bite and my neck didn’t jerk around. I didn’t feel like a jerk. I didn’t act like a jerk. So why do they call it beef jerky?!
Boomer Sooner!
