JR's Blog: Random Thoughts..WWE in OKC..JR's in Norman Homeland..HHH Retiring??..JBL..William Regal..Grill w/ JR!
Posted: Mar 10th 2011 By: CMBurnham
Lots of random thoughts responding to emails to this site and tweets @JRsBBQ...
There are plenty of good seats remaining for this Sunday's WWE live Raw event in OKC at the arena starting at $15. I'll be doing the ring announcing for one match as I understand it. Perhaps Michael Cole will unexpectedly show up and join the party.
Not sure where the rumor that if HHH doesn't beat the Undertaker at WM27 that The Game will retire. Who started that one? Nice dirt for some websites I guess but no validity in it whatsoever as best I know.
I do think that Taker vs. HHH will be the best, old school wrestling match at WM27 but with it being NHB one can obviously see those elements added to the equation. I expect this match to be more physical than Taker's last two Wrestlemania main events and even though I think 'the Streak' is figuratively sacred, no one is untouchable.
William Regal did a nice job for his first outing as the new color commentator on NXT along side Todd Grisham. It's obvious that WWE is looking at various combinations at the announce table in preparing for the future. Smart move by WWE but everyone has to realize that chemistry takes time and that it may never happen for some broadcast teams. Also, all announce talents need to understand that they have to invest more time on their job away from the actual taping of the programs that they appear on than they do on 'TV day.'
It looks as if a MITB Ladder match at WM27 appears to be a long shot. Before I would think about joining those that have already indicted the unannounced under card I think that I will reserve my opinions until I actually see the card. Appearing on the WM27 under card is a big deal in my eyes and provides talents with valuable minutes to maximize on the biggest stage of their professional lives and this can be accomplished in something other than a flying, crash fest.
Follow us at Twitter @JRsBBQ as we are now over 102,000 and growing daily. I answer as many Tweets as I can throughout the week so join us and let's have some fun.
The Q&A section of the site has been updated as of Wednesday afternoon. Did your question make the cut? Will any of my answers be dirt worthy?
@JRAllStars in conjunction with THQ is running contest in association with the launch of the WWE All Stars video game. Check it out and see how you can do your best 'JR-ism' and win an autographed bottle of BBQ Sauce.
For those that have asked, Dennis Brent, my old friend from Dallas, UWF, WCW and WWE days is in possession of all the radio shows that I did back in the early 90's on AM750 WSB in Atlanta and he is still considering packaging them and selling them. I think you would love to hear these call in shows that featured many big time guests. I'll keep you posted when I know more.
Recipe idea sent to me for a thousand island type dressing....JR's Chipotle Ketchup, mayo, sweet pickle relish, and chopped onion mixed and refrigerated. Makes a wonderful burger topping or a dip. Modify with added ingredients to your personal taste but this is an awesome start to a big league creation.
Why hasn't WM17 been mentioned in the build up of the anxiously anticipated HHH vs. Undertaker match at WM28? I don't know nor does it adversely affect how I am looking forward to this match. Who's to say that WM17 won't be mentioned before WM27? I don't know that info. At the end of the day, is it that big an issue? I'm much more interested to see what the two future WWE HOF'er do in the Georgia Dome that what they did a decade ago in the Astrodome.
If any of you go by the Norman Homeland grocery stores and pick up our products including the Beef Jerky and the Main Event Mustard please let me know here or tweet me @JRsBBQ. The Homeland just east of I-35 at the Robinson street exit is open 24/7 for you travelers.
We're getting some great feedback from German fans who are buying JR products from http://www.wweshop.com. Same goes for fans in the UK and Australia. Business has indeed picked up!
Looks like my friend JBL was only in for a cameo on Raw Monday night. It would take a mighty nice offer/role for John Layfield to leave the golf course and resume any travel of merit.
Order now for grilling season! We'll take good care of you with free Koozies and autographs.
Boomer Sooner!
