JR's Blog: Lawler..JR's New Book..Marcus Dupree, Survivor Series '93..FCW Trip..Get Your Orders in Today!

Posted: Nov 12th 2010 By: CMBurnham

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and visit our store and check out all the great specials starting at under $10.

Sitting in Tampa Airport awaiting flight to DFW-OKC. Two, productive days in FCW. Did classroom work w/ rookies Wednesday after 2 hour promo class. Met with the Divas today.

Planning on returning in a few weeks to begin a new, classroom program that should be rewarding and if I do my job interesting for the class.

Getting lots of emails on where one can go to train for wrestling nand if getting a FCW dealm isn't in the cards check out www.ovwrestling.com. It's in Louisville, Kentucky and you'll be treated fairly and objectively.

Our orders have picked up on the site...yes, business has picked up! Keep us in mind for holiday gifts for fans, friends, teachers, and family.

Our new Main Event Mustard is slated to be ready to ship in early December.

The King is planning on being in Hershey for the 3 hour Raw Monday but it all depends on the condition of the staph infection in his knee. If he's not available I assume Cole and Mathews will handle the Legends themed gig. I talked to Jerry for 45 minutes Tusday night and he was in good spirits. He is improving but is no condition to travel at this time.

Thanks for letting me know that my first TV call @ Survivor Series was in 1993 when Gorilla Monsoon and I called the Smoky Mountain Tag Title bout. I loved working with "The Big Ape" as the Brain used to call the beloved WWE HOF'er.

Helluva 30/30 on ESPN about former OU running back Marcus Dupree. He was a better back as a freshman than Adrian Peterson as a frosh and AD gained almost 2,000 yards rushing his first year @ OU.

I'm asked when I'm going to 'start my book' on the 25 most interesting people that I've worked with during my long career in the biz. First of all, it has to sell. Then we will finalize the final, final list of 25 individuals, primarily but not all, from the wrestling business. I'd like to begin writing in early 2011 IF it sells to a publisher.

We're having an amazing run w/ reorders on our new and improved Beef Jerky. Order some and find out what everyone is saying or as Naitch used to say what everyone is talking about.

Good to see Ricky Steamboat doing hands on training this week in FCW. The Dragon is as good as I've seen training young nwrestlers. Ricky still isn't 100% but he's improving daily, is happy, and simply does an anazing job w/ the WWE rookies.

Wade Phillips lost his coaching job because his players laid down and Phillips took the fall. Cowboys need a GM that's not their owner.

OU must win at home Saturday to stay alive in the Big 12 South. I think the Sooners beat Texas Tech 14+ if our laid back crowd emotionally invests....and we don't allow turnovers to cause us to implode. Plus, Oklahoma must play more mentally tough for 4 full quarters of football.

Pacquiao wins in Dallas Saturday, how does one pick against Manny, but something tells me this big money PPV will have its moments. $67.95 for the HD version on PPV. Wow.

Time to board....follow me on twitter @JRsBBQ.

Boomer Sooner!
