JR's Blog: Jarrett on Ross Report Podcast Tuesday Night, WWETLC Feedback, Tickets for RINGSIDE w/ Jim Ross in NJ & Philly on Sale Now at www.axs.com, Online Shopping for the Holidays

Posted: Dec 16th 2014 By: Jim Ross

We expect to have a great week with online shopping for JR's goods as i's getting crunch time as it relates to shipping your holiday purchases. http://www.wweshop.com will be completely restocked in hours and will have some amazing offers, new packages and more for your convenience. http://www.americansoda.co.uk and http://beyondtheropes.co.uk still have inventory in stock but they are both getting in the danger zone so I'd pull the trigger ASAP if possible for folks in the UK, Ireland and Europe. http://ww.prowrestlingtees.com/jimross is rocking, have plenty of inventory in all sizes and ships worldwide so take a look at our tees and get one of the holidays. Multiple designs from which to choose....let's grill...

Talking to Jeff Jarrett tonight for Tuesday's Ross Report Podcast and we will review #WWETLC, Global Force Wrestling, and the huge, PPV #WrestleKingdom9 coming Sunday Jan 4 from the Tokyo Dome. Should be an interesting conversation. This show drops Tuesday night at 9 pm ET on podcastone.com and at @iTunesPodcasts.

My show with Sean Waltman has done amazingly well coming off the heels of the Bob Holly show the week before so we are building some timely momentum. These are two, really good shows thanks to my guests that I encourage you to sample. Downloading the Ross Report is FREE as is subscribing which will insure that you don't miss an episode.

Tickets are on sale now at www.axs.com for my two, January shows Royal Rumble weekend on Friday January 23 in Sayreville, NJ at the Starland Ballroom at 8 pm with the VIP meet and greets starting at 6 pm. Then we head to Philly on Sunday afternoon at 3 pm show at the Trocadero Theater with the VIP meet and greets starting at 1 pm. Tickets for both shows start at $20. Join me if you can as I'd love to see you and remember that all VIP Meet & Greet ticket holders will get a FREE bottle of JR's Original BBQ Sauce from me as a thank you for supporting us. Tickets to RINGSIDE w/ Jim Ross can make great, stocking stuffers for the holidays. Spring for the VIP meet and greet ducats but those $20 tickets work just fine, too.

Watched the #WWETLC Sunday night on the @WWENetwork and here are some of my thoughts:

Thought the first match featuring Ziggler vs. Harper for the IC Title in a Ladder match was a great start and arguably the best match on the show. They were lucky to get the live audience fresh and they did not have to follow several other specialty matches. These two needed medical attention after their match which should come as no surprise. Harper got five staples in his head while Ziggler got a cut glued shut. I actually had a cut glued shut after being schooled by HHH in Madison Square Garden many years ago. It beats the heck out of stitches

Mizdow has gotten himself over with the fans as a comedy act and Damien does it well.

Show vs. Rowan was a tough one with the unyielding stairs as their primary prop. While some may not have liked this match as much as others, I applaud their efforts in a tough booking.

Liked the position on the card for Cena vs. Rollins and the Reigns involvement was timely. It's smart to have a long window to promote Cena vs. Lesnar for the WWE Title at the Royal Rumble in January which should stimulate January subscribers for the Network. Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury certainly earned their keep in this match in their role of J&J Security. I'll say this, John Cena is beastly strong.

Ryback and Kane had another tough stipulation to work around in their Chairs Match which seemed somewhat out of place in the PG, safety first landscape. Curious as to how many Chairs Matches that we will see in the future. Good win for Ryback as he continues to ascend.

Enjoyed Rusev vs. Swagger but I wish it had the time it needed to tell a more compelling story. Rusev is a true, diamond in the rough especially if he keeps evolving in all phases of his game. Still think that Lana needs to study Sherri Martel matches.

Happy that young talents Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt closed the show for multiple reasons that all essentially come down to perception. These two beat the Hell out of each other, without question, and both took another step forward to becoming main event talents. I applaud their work ethic and willingness to put their bodies at such risk. Going on last after everything that was done in the ring earlier makes it tremendously challenging and I don't know how Ambrose and Wyatt could have done any more.

As much as I enjoyed many aspects of the TLC show, it wasn't quite as good, merely in my opinion, as the overall @WWENXT show, from start to finish, that I watched Thursday night from Orlando.

This week on the #RossReport Podcast Jeff Jarrett will announce who my broadcast partner will be for #WrestleKingdom9 on PPV in North America and on the @FlippsTV app elsewhere.

Planning on trying to hit Orlando for the @RussellAthleticBowl featuring Oklahoma vs. Clemson prior to going to Tokyo. It's going to take some planning but endeavoring to pull it off.

Thanks for supporting us with online shopping for the holidays. We are grateful I can assure one and all.

Q&A's here are updated.

BOOMER SOONER!
