JR's Blog: J.R. Updates Q&A's.....Answers to frequently asked questions....What is known....New Blog

Posted: Jan 24th 2009 By: mikeiles

We have updated several of your questions on the Q&A section of this website. The questions are becoming more succinct and to the point but we still get too many repeat questions. Here's a short summary.....

I don't have a vote in the WWE Hall of Fame.

I STILL don't have an answer for any one as to why Randy Savage is not in the WWE Hall of Fame and for the record I am not seeking an answer to that conundrum.

I do not think it makes sense for the WWE to have all their programs rated PG and then have one wild card program be rated R as suggested by some fans.

It is still my belief that Stone Cold will NEVER wrestle Hulk or that the Rock will EVER wrestle any one again.

We do sincerely appreciate all the suggestions on how we can improve our store and are looking into the opportunity to develop a "Sampler Pack" of our products.

We do not plan on owning any JR'S BBQ'S outside Oklahoma but will entertain the thought of franchising them to owner/operators any where in the world. Franchising J.R.'s is our long term goal.

The Tommy Dreamer story is good for ECW but I have no idea where this saga will end nor do I want to know. I don't need any "spoiler" fix on the Dreamer TV issue.

If you want to work for the WWE, please contact the WWE. Their Human Resources (HR) Department handles that. I don't even hire people to work at my own BBQ place.

Any one who wants to get noticed by the WWE as a wrestler at some point must go through Tampa's FCW. If I thought I had what it took, come hell or high water I would find myself in Tampa at the FCW doorstep and not take no for answer until I got a try out.

Wannabe referee and managers should use the same concept but working on the Indy circuit and getting good examples of your work on tape is a must.

I do not choose to comment on anyone's creative in specific terms. In our blogs and on the Q&A's, I do speak of what I like in general terms and about my philosophical beliefs in wrestling but that's about it. I am not on anyone's creative team much to their delight. And my sanity.

As far as I know, Stone Cold is headlining the WWE Hall of Fame but I have no clue if Steve is doing any thing else at WM25 and like many fans, o.k. some fans, I would rather be surprised.

Whoever inducts Stone Cold is great with me. I am not "angry" or "upset" over not inducting Steve as this is Steve's HOF, not mine.

I am, however, upset that Oklahoma did not win the National Championship but one can't grieve forever.

Yours truly is not contemplating retirement (sorry to break that to some of you), writing a book, or suffering because I'm no longer working with the King on Raw.

As far as I know, the "World's Angriest Announcer" and I are broadcasting the WWE Title Bout at the Royal Rumble and we assume the Rumble match with the other announcers but that one is an assumption and we all know what happens when on assumes.

I do know that "The Joe" in Detroit is sold out.

I do know that Tazz and I are driving 300 miles from Detroit to Indy on Monday to prepare for the challenging Friday Night Smackdown taping doubleheader.

I do know that I am attending a dinner with the Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson in a few weeks here in Norman.

It is a fact that JR'S Family BBQ is growing and serving the best BBQ in Oklahoma and arguably in this part of America. It is also a fact that no establishment in the world has as much original, unique memorabilia on their walls as does our two restaurants.

It is a fact that if you have a chance to get a ticket for the WWE Hal of Fame Induction Ceremony and don't that you will regret it. I wish I could tell you more.

I do think that GSP will beat B.J. Penn when they fight but I don't have a viable reason why nor will I make any friendly wagers on said UFC fight. If Penn wins, I won't be shocked.

Same goes for the Arizona Cardinals but I am pulling for the Steelers. Watch the betting line as I think 7 is a trap bet. Someone knows something because most fans think that the Steelers should have opened as a heavier favorite by at least a point and a half.

Finally, we do appreciate your business and that's not disingenuous lip service. Please and thank you are still a part of our vocabulary.

Let's Rumble.....

Boomer Sooner!

J.R.
