JR's Blog: Wednesday blog, HEADLOCK on HUNGER, RAW feedback, RUSSO on ROSS REPORT PODCAST, NXT, RIP Sean Haire

Posted: Sep 11th 2014 By: Jim Ross

Greetings from Asheville, NC where today we announced the new, Headlock on Hunger charity that yours truly among many others help collect food for needy families w/ children for the Thanksgiving & December holidays. More details coming....

Doing an appearance Saturday in Norman at the Lindsey Street Homeland Grocery from noon-2 . Everyone's welcome to come and enjoy FREE food, photos & autographs plus great prices on JR's products. Sooner & Vols fans come and enjoy.

Vince Russo, the controversial and often times polarizing former creative guru in WWE, WCW, and TNA is my current guest on the Ross Report podcast on podcastone.com and iTunes. Download for free. Interesting listen. Very revealing look at Russo.

Thought Paul Heyman and John Cena were the stars of Raw Monday night. Great verbal interaction that felt organic ie not over scripted.

Over scripting pro wrestling promos takes a chunk out of the uniqueness of the business that drew many of us to the genre.

The cage match was good but being able to escape the cage to win has never set that well with me. Hope Bray Wyatt can get back on a roll. Face Wyatt vs heel Lesnar interests me down the road.

The Reigns vs Orton match was solid and inserted more possible opponents to help WWE continue to build Reigns heading toward bigger& better things. Reigns needs to add a few new wrinkles to his offense sooner than later.

Great to see the NXT talents on Raw. Very strategic booking. It's WAY better for NXT talent to stay where they are until WWE has a plan for introducing each of them & a 6 month plan in place. To be able to work at NXT was a honor for me.

The Jerry Springer skit was lots of sizzle and made better promo material than actual execution.

I'm excited to watch NXT Takeover on WWE Network Thursday night. It's everyone's audition for a biggest slab of ribs.

Hope we don't see lame, distraction finishes on this show and would be surprised if we do.

Why would WWE want to re-sign some veterans like Sting, Angle, etc to their roster? Easy answer....to create revenue AND to give younger talet a much needed rub. No brainer to me especially if they can pass physicals. They are not the future but they can help facilitate the future.

Condolences to the family and friends of the recently deceased Sean Haire. Always thought he had potential. He was always polite to me. RIP Sean.

Watch for the black hat Saturday night on ABC as I'll be on the Oklahoma sideline for their prime time college football game vs Tennessee. Atmosphere should be a blast!

BOOMER SOONER!
