J.R.'s Blog: BBQ'ed Random Thoughts From Under The Black Hat

J.R.'s Blog: BBQ'ed Random Thoughts From Under The Black Hat

Posted: Jul 18th 2009 By: CMBurnham

Thanks for stopping by ... hope everyone is well. This week's blog is a collection of random thoughts from under the black hat ... while sitting in J.R.'s Family BBQ in Norman, Oklahoma.

Friday Night SmackDown this week emanates from Miami, Florida, which is always a super place to visit. Although I will have to admit that I had a better time this week while in South Florida than I did back in January when the University of Florida defeated my Oklahoma Sooners for the National Title of College Football. But, as the King would say, one can't grieve forever.

SD is an entertaining broadcast this week with a chaotic ending to the show. I mean a really chaotic conclusion that gives the viewer plenty to think about.

Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho and Dolph Ziggler comprise the main event on a show that also prominently features World's Champ CM Punk who faces John Morrison and Kane vs. R-Truth.

I wonder if Jericho will ever refer to the equally egocentric Ziggler as "Grasshopper" during the evening?

We also have an exclusive interview with Edge regarding his surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon that has threatened Edge's career. Thank goodness for Dr. Jim Andrews who did the surgery just as the good Doctor repaired NFL quarterback Brett Favre's biceps several weeks ago not to mention Batista's large guns.

Don't miss Friday Night Smackdown on MyNetworkTV starring Todd Grisham as Todd Grisham....and Jerry Mathers as "The Beaver."

Actor, comedian, director, producer, rich guy, creative guru, and all around good dude Seth Green, if that is his real name, seemed like he had a great time on Raw Monday night from Orlando. Seth may have been the most unique "guest host" yet on Raw even though I am still partial to the Million Dollar Man because I am, gasp, old school.

To those Internet geeks who think that going from young and hip Seth Green to Rock 'n Roll Hall of Famers ZZ Top as this week's Raw guest hosts is too much of a stretch, please allow me to say this.....bovine manure.

ZZ Top is one of the classic rock 'n roll bands of all time and it makes no difference when they debuted as they still do great touring business and their music is played in every city in America every day. Plus, I know for a fact that Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill are legitimately, huge fans of WWE and have been following the genre of wrestling for years and years. That should count for something. ZZ Top has enjoyed J.R.'s Family BBQ in Norman on more than one occasion and we have a signed ZZ Top guitar in our store in Norman just as you enter the front door.

O.K. so I'm pals with the band and I may not be totally objective regarding this matter but some pundits just over think things and when they dump on my friends it raises my ire.

Plus, who said we "veterans" still can't contribute at a high level? I'm not buying into the Hollywood theory that youth and looks outweigh experience and talent.

Did You Know....that WWE Divas answer your questions here on WWE.com? Keep your questions clean and don't take their tax advice.

Just curious but do you think that Cryme Tyme is paid by the "Yo?"

Who is the best young wrestler on WWE's Flagship Broadcast, Monday Night Raw? My vote would be for Perry, Oklahoma's own Jack Swagger the former roommate of Chicago Bears defensive tackle Dusty Dvorachek.

Speaking of young and talented, the Hart Dynasty are just that and every time I see them I think of the awesome WWEClassics.com.

Have you ordered your "Ricky O Rally Towel" yet? Me neither. I am interested, however, in a Howard Finkel ring tone.

We just received a HUGE shipment of J.R.'s Chipolte Ketchup and HOT BBQ Sauce and have case prices available with free shipping at www.jrsbarbq.com.

Is Jeff Hardy putting to much pressure on himself to win the World Heavyweight Title? Some folks think so but I hope not as the days draw near to Night of Champions.

I am going to have to hit, I think this is the name of it, Tony Luke's for a Philly Cheese Steak when we get into Philadelphia for the PPV.

C.M. Punk no doubt has his fans but the Straight Edge World's Champ isn't the most popular dude in the SD locker room. Word has it he's just a tad "preachy."

I wonder how the Million Dollar Man and the American Dream honestly feel about their sons being essentially "lapdogs" for Master Randall Orton, the WWE Champion? When are Ted and Cody going to have their fill of being errand boys as Brando said in "Apocalypse Now?"

Thanks for reading and for supporting Friday Night Smackdown on the elusive MyNetworkTV. If you want to read more blogs and our Q&A's from around the world please check out www.jrsbarbq.com.
