JR's Blog: Hey, Mickie Podcast!, Killer NJPW AXSTV Show Tonight, @HOBDallas is SRO, WMTexas, Austin/Rock/Cena,@CBSSportsNet

Posted: Mar 27th 2016 By: Jim Ross

Thanks for stopping by and please tell a friend about our site. The feedback that we've received on our latest Ross Report Podcast with @MickieJames has been tremendous. Hope that you will listen to the show for FREE a podcaston.com, iTunes and here on the homepage of our site.

Tickets for our three, RINGSIDE with Jim Ross & Friends shows @HOBDallas are still available but are SRO (Standing Room Only). Check with www.ticketmaster.com and join us if you can. We're going to have over 3,000 fans attend our three shows. Thanks for making this happen.

Excited for @TazShowLive and his groundbreaking national radio broadcast on CBS Radio Stations across North America that will air immediately following Wrestlemania and yours truly will stop by for a guest stint.

Speaking of CBS Sports Network, we wll launch our Knockout Night at the D boxing series on Saturday night April 16 from the D Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. I'll handle the blow by blow duties.

I see the WWE Title bout closing WMTexas and nothing else. I'd place the HIAC bout in the middle to latter part of the show follow it with one or two matches and then close with the WWE Title bout. To not close with the WWE Title lessens the championship in my opinion and that should never be allowed to happen.

Stay tuned next week for a major feature I've written on the History of Texas Wrestling that will drop on FoxSports.com. No state has produced more pro wrestling main eventers than the Lone Star State.

Seems like no brainer booking to feature Steve Austin, The Rock and John Cena in the ring together at 'Mania in an entertaining piece of business. The fans would love it and creative type should never avoid an automatic "pop." This might be a helluva way to kickoff the main show. Much like WM30 in NOLA.

With currently seven bouts slated to be featured in the main show at WM32, there should be no issues in timing as all the bouts should have what they need to tell a great story whether or not that they have the time to "Get their sh*t in."

We are hopeful to attend the @WWENXT Takeover in Dallas on Friday night April 1 as we did last year in San Jose. The future of WWE lies behind those three letters....NXT.

My suggestion would be to start the wrestling aspect of the main broadcast of WMTexas with the IC Title Ladder match and if the seven men in that match are fortunate that's what will happen. Go steal the show while the audience is hot and eagerly anticipating the thrill show presentation.

The Q&A's elsewhere on the site are updated.

Reliable MMA sources tell me that it's a lock that George St Pierre is returning later this year to the @UFC Octagon. If true, that's great news for all UFC/MMA fans. @GeorgesSt-Pierre is a classy warrior that sells PPV's.

@FITE TV App will be all over WMTexas carrying a variety of wrestling events that will be held in conjunction with Wrestlemania. Download our app for FREE and support pro wrestling and the many promotions who FITE is helping gain additional exposure.

www.wweshop.com and www.americansoda.co.uk are fully stocked with JR's products ready for immediate delivery to your home.

We will have our biggest supply of merch ever for our three Dallas House of Blues shows including all our condiments, Beef Jerky, Seasoning, tees from prowrestlingtees.com/jimross, caps and much more.

Congrats to my Oklahoma Sooners hoops team for earning their way into the Elite 8 and a shot at the Final Four if they can beat the Oregon Ducks Saturday on TBS. As June Cleaver one famously said, "You were a little rough on the Beaver last night, Ward."

I fully expect that WWE will execute some compelling creative throughout Wrestlemania and especially for the WWE Title bout. Perhaps a WM13 Austin-Hitman double turn? It could happen but would een that make some of the hardcore fans happy?

One thing about the hardcore fans and that is if they did not care they would be silent.

Excited to be a small part of Wrestlecon on Friday April 1 from 10 am until 1 pm in conjunction with our favorite charity @HeadlockonHunger. We're feeding hungry kids one meal at a time.

Amazing match tonight on AXSTV for NJPW with @JoshLBarnett that airs at 9/8CT. Kushida vs Kyle O'Reilly is the only match on the hour and it's the finals of the Super Juniors Tournament. An extraordinary wrestling match that I think that you will truly enjoy.

Jim Cornette wil join me on Tuesday April 5 when we record that night's Ross Report to discuss the weekend activities in Texas. The following week on April 12 my guest will be Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer to discuss WWE and much more.

Boomer Sooner!
