Posted: Oct 23rd 2014 By: Jim Ross

Our tee shirt business is growing extremely well at http://www.prowrestlingtees.com/jimross and with every shirt that you buy you get a FREE Ringside with Jim Ross shirt with your order. Good time to think about giving a tee for holiday gifts or JR's products from wweshop.com, americansoda.co.uk or beyondtheropes.co.uk. Don't delay and order early to insure that there are no delivery issues. We appreciate your consideration and support. Let's grill.....

Thursday night at Eastern/6 Central one of my voice overs will air on Grantland's NBA show that will air on ESPN. I think that you will get a chuckle out of it.

Next Tuesday on ESPN I will be a part of the much anticipated 30 for 30 on "The Boz" Brian Bosworth. I'm told that this is a great feature from the folks at ESPN and check your local listings as to when it will air in your area. I was interviewed for a couple of hours which might mean get a couple of sound bytes on the show. I'm a big fan of the 30 for 30 series and looking forward to this one a great deal.

My conversation with @MarkMaddenX on the Ross Report Podcast is getting extraordinary feedback. You can download our show for free at podcastone.com and at iTunes where you can also subscribe for FREE and never miss a show while helping our cause a great deal. Mark's stories on the late Brian Pillman were timeless plus his thoughts on such stars as Ric Flair, who's book Madden saved, and Sting among many others are golden.

Talked with @RealXPac last night for a future Ross Report and we talked about a ton of topics including many controversial ones. Among the subject matter was his childhood which was damaging to him, how he got into the business as an undersized overachiever, his drug use, attempted suicide, making an AVN Award winning video with former WWE superstar Chyna, DX, nWo, moving to Philly, staying clean and sober, Chris Benoit, The Montreal Screw Job, Undertaker losing at WM30 and SO much more. Great visit with one of my favorite performers who's lucky to be alive but I'm damn glad that he is. This podcast will air in December during Christmas week.

The homepage of this site has our podcast guest schedule through the end of the year.

Happy so many of you like my feature on the 1998 HIAC match featuring Taker vs. Mankind. It was fun to write. Check out foxports.com.

I've printed this before...if you want to become an announcer with WWE in the future, I'd suggest you be a student of the game but get ample experience outside of wrestling broadcasting to learn all the fundamental skills a broadcaster must have. If necessary, work for free in your spare time if that's what it takes. Getting a college degree in communications and or broadcasting and getting a small market job will get you one step closer to WWE if that's your goal. Same goes for ring announcing. Get experience in other fields as a PA announcer and it will help you perfect those skills that will enhance your opportunity for a pro wrestling gig.

Paul Heyman and Jim Cornette will always be two of my all time favorite performers whether it be wrestlers, managers or broadcasters but because of his ability to bump and uncanny timing and in ring psychology no one will likely ever top Bobby Heenan. The Brain is arguably the greatest multi faceted wrestling start ever when it comes to doing more things well than any one that I've ever seen in person.

@JerryLawler belongs in that multi skilled argument as well. Unfortunately, most fans never saw the King in his prime as a wrestler. He was spectacular.

With all that said, kudos to @HeymanHustle for the RKO he took Monday night on RAW.

Who needs to close the show Sunday in Dallas at HIAC? An argument can be made for the two young guys, Rollins & Ambrose, which will help them establish more credibility on the main event level of which Cena and Orton already have. There are two valid sides to this argument.

Even though most of my podcasts are "evergreen" next week, after every WWE PPV I will have a guest on who will join me to review that PPV the same week of the show. Next Monday I will tape the Ross Report with Jason Powell of ProWrestlign.net to talk HIAC and much more pro wrestling business.

How easy is this....drane a can of pork & beans...add JR's Seasoning, a splash of our Chipotle Ketchup and some Original or Hot BBQ Sauce to taste and see what you've created. Same goes for Pinto Beans. Let them simmer until they are ready to eat and be sure and gently stir after adding each ingredient.

Q&A's updated here....

I invite you to follow me on Twitter @JRsBBQ.
