JR's Blog: Delayed in O'Hare...I'll finish my thoughts....

Posted: May 7th 2009 By: mikeiles

Random thoughts from lovely Chicago O'Hare on my home to Oklahoma.

ECW is becoming a really nice wrestling show that isn't over thought or reaching for comedy. The small roster works hard and they seem motivated. Striker and Mathews are getting better each week in the ever growing, complex role of a wrestling broadcaster.

I like Swagger's improvement and Swagger wrestling men like Christian and Dreamer will help the former Sooner improve quicker.

Nice to see the Bella Twins apparently "make up" as they are back together seemingly on Raw.

WWE being on The View is smart, strategic marketing. Any time a business can affordably reach a sizeable, new audience it makes sense. Barbara Walters saying positive things about WWE isn't a bad thing. The video that aired prior to MVP's "View" cameo was excellent.

WGN America's Main Event Thursday night is Jericho vs Morrison. Sweeter than slow, smoked BBQ Ribs from JR'S in Norman.

Typos are likely in todays blogs done on my blacberry while folks walk up to me, wearing my "come talk to me black hat" and asking me if I'm "J.R." I strongly dislike Blue Tooth using geeks who talk LOUD in the boarding area.

It will be a late nite for yours truly while doing small, audio fixes for SD.

I still find it humorous when older, ex-wrestlers talk about forming a union. I say it will never happen in my lifetime. Wrestlers, in general are not the most trusting group and I've always said that if you get more than a dozen or so together that they couldn't agree on where to go for lunch much less elect their union leaders. I used to discuss this point with Jesse Ventura who likes to argue for the pure hell of it at times.

Been reading where Batista "may retire" in a year or so but I'd bet that won't happen. Unless Batista has saved a boat load of cash I say he stays in WWE and makes more of those big pay days and 7 figure years. Big Dave likes the good life, who doesn't, but the "good life" isn't facilitated w/ coupons. Dave's value to WWE, considering especially the overall lack of main event depth may never be greater. I know I throughly enjoy my paychecks even thought I feel I'm underpaid ( who doesn't?)and hope to successfully negotiate a new contract w/ WWE when the time comes later in 2009. Hey, we ALL feel like we're under paid, right?

Read a review of the new Jeff Jarrett DVD. I'm sure it's good but some folk's recollection of history never ceases to amaze me. Jeff remembers things differently than I but it is his DVD produced by his company about him so he's certainly not going to make himself look bad. Who would? Lots of water has gone under the bridge since those days and it certainly isn't a major issue one way or the other and perhaps I'll tell my side of the negotiations in question some day. I would suggest that all involved might have had dirty hands in that matter but I can assure you that I didn't break my word in dealing with Double J. My old job back in the day was challenging and every decision wasn't easy. Such is life. No regrets.

Thanks for your business as our sales are increasing weekly. Our products are affordable and unique. Our new sauces in the lighter, plastic bottles are going great sellers. Our books and caps are selling super too. Plus we had the biggest week at our Norman location last week in months. Again, many thanks,

Boomer Sooner!

J.R.
