JR's Blog: All Star Video Game..Cena vs. Rock..JR/King @ Fatal 4 Way..Tyson/Austin Memories..FREE SHIPPING in USA! Sauce It!!

Posted: Jun 19th 2010 By: mikeiles

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there and I will be spending my Father's Day in Long Island enjoying WWE's Fatal 4 Way via a locker room monitor. Should be fun. First WWE road trip since Bells palsy #3 in October.

We had a minor, computer glitch with PayPal orders recently but that has been rectified and those pending orders have been taken to Federal Express. The system wasn't showing the complete order but that issue has now been addressed. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused anyone paying with PayPal.

I don't know why more visitors to the site don't register so that they can contribute feedback and to the Q&A's. We don't sell these names, they are confidential and will never be used by anyone other than us. There are no security issues with registering here whatsoever.

Speaking of Q&A, I updated all that I could Saturday morning. Check 'em out. Remember to keep your questions short and succinct. Those tombs that start out with "I have three questions for you" are likely not going to make the cut. You're better off sending three different albeit short questions.

WWEShop.com told me business was solid with our products no on line there. WWEShop.com is the only place that ships JR's Original Sauce internationally specifically to the UK, Canada, and Germany. WWEShop.com ships the Championship Original Beef Jerky only to Canada due to government regulations of the other countries in question.

Cool on line promo/feature on the new THQ/WWE video game WWE All Stars and the clip that I saw featured the Rock wrestling against John Cena. I have yet to begin the voice over work, at least my part of it, as of yet but expect to do so soon. The game looked very good from what I saw but I am far from an expert. I will have a better feel for my aspect of the game once I see the copy.

An emailer asked if I remembered the Austin-Tyson confrontation on Raw. Without question. It was at the old, small arena in Fresno on a hotter than hell day. Tyson came with a much larger entourage than humanly needed. Lots of hanger's on.' WWE had to get Mike a trailer to park outside the arena to use as his dressing room. We stayed at a hotel right across the street from the arena there in Fresno. The crowd was jacked when Austin and Tyson made contact with some of the most intense emotion that I can ever remember on Raw. The moment, the timing, the individuals involved, the entire package created a memory that all fans would enjoy seeing either again or for the first time. I also realized that day just how big a wrestling fan Mike Tyson is and, as I have mentioned, he is a great historian of the WWWF era of wrestling in the northeast.

It will be just like old times for the King and me on Sunday as we will take the short ride from our hotel to the arena for Fatal 4 Way together with King driving and me riding shotgun. King will be announcing and I won't but I'm sure that we will have a few laughs during the day as every one preps for the PPV. Going to a PPV and not working is a challenge for me but as the Great One said, "Know your role" and my role at ringside no longer exists but I do plan on helping the broadcasters as much as I can during the afternoon. It's called being a team player and there ain't no 'I' in team.

My new WWE Blog is currently live at wweuniverse.com. It's a fun, short read where I ask 10 questions and provide some predictions on the Fatal 4 Way. Just a hint of what's included....I don't like fellow Oklahoman Jack Swagger's chances in retaining the World Title. He's built no momentum going into the event to speak of. Also, contrary to what was said, Swagger NEVER won a Heisman Trophy. Stop the pain.

Emailer. ...if I could select one person for induction into the WWE Hall of Fame who would it be? That's a layup....Danny Hodge. The greatest living wrestler who's in every Hall of Fame for Wrestling, amateur and pro, and has the Division one Wrestler of the Year award, their 'Heisman,' named after him. It's humbling to know that so many Okies are in WWE's Hall of Fame and that Hodge isn't as he was the greatest of any Oklahoman by far not to mention competing in two Olympic Games, never losing or be taken down in college and then winning the United States national Golden Gloves Boxing Championship with no formal training.

The biggest reason that I'm appearing in Charlotte at the NWA Fan gathering in August for Greg Price is because of Danny Hodge. I always love meeting the fans, don't get me wrong, but Hodge was and still is my boyhood hero and is being honored Friday night of the event.

Regarding the Charlotte event, I had hoped to be able to sell autographed bottles of BBQ Sauce and/or bags of Beef Jerky but that has yet to be addressed throughly for those of you that are asking.

Be well to all and have a super weekend. Enjoy the Fatal 4 Way and if you have the time or inclination to place orders with us we will get them shipped on Monday. Thanks!!

Boomer Sooner!
