Jim Ross’ latest blog is up on his website Jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights.
On Paul Bearer in the WWE Hall of Fame
Wonderful to hear that my old pal Paul Bearer also known as Percy Pringle was announced in Chicago as going into this year’s class of the WWE Hall of Fame. Very deserving honor and another product of the territory system to be honored. The loyal, Alabama football and George Jones fan will be smiling down from Heaven when he’s honored in NOLA.
On the passing of Billy Robinson
Condolences to the family, friends and fans of the UK’s Billy Robinson who passed away this week at the age of 74. Mr. Robinson was well known as one of the legit tough guys in the business and was the foremost expert in “Catch Wrestling” in the world. His work that can be found on You Tube is simply amazing.
My conversation with Billy and Dan Hodge in Charlotte a few years ago is one of my career highlights.
RIP, sir.
On last night’s Raw
Enjoyed many aspects of RAW Monday night. No Punk. No hijacking. The WWE folks steered the course just as I had suggested here and at on my show in NYC Saturday night. Seems like many in the IWC (Internet Wrestling Community) were pulling for a disruptive show and I’m pleased that did not occur.
As always we recommend you check out JR’s blog by clicking here. He discusses a ton of subjects not mentioned here including the awesome Paul Heyman promo last night, Batista, CM Punk at WrestleMania, and much more.
