Posted in:

Sam Smith- I had no issues whatsoever with any Foley matches this year. Mick is one of my all time favorites and has provided me with some in ring and out of ring memories I will never forget. Mother Nature and Mick’s lack of being able to wrestle full time is Mick’s biggest enemy. When Mick is motivated about a particular topic no one delivers a more passionate interview or gives more effort in a match. Mick Foley is a future Hall of Famer and I can’t wait to read his next book.

Vanilla Wafa- Nice name by the way. I have no idea if there will be another draft lottery but they certainly make for interesting TV. Gunner Scott was released for reasons unknown to me but I know he was a hard worker and not a problem child. Scott was given ample opportunity to “make it”. Kane, no matter where he might locker, will always be an asset to any brand or locker room. Kane is a stallion and a credit to any company.

Mike-I have not seen Billy Kidman recently but the last time I did he looked good. I am not sure of Billy’s future plans but one would assume they would involve wrestling. Billy’s in-ring skills have never been questioned.

Lorena- I love the fact that the fans can vote on key referendums for Cyber Sunday. I encourage you to check out www.wwe.com and vote early and often. This will be the most interactive fan experience ever presented on pay per view. I hope the fans of the Cincinnati are turn out in droves and pack the arena on November 5.

Chuck- I did not know Dennis Coralluzzo well but well enough that I never had an issue with him and liked him. Dennis was a funny guy who loved the wrestling business.I never worked for Dennis so I can’t accurately comment on his promoting skills but I do know that Dennis was a passionate wrestling fan who loved being around the “boys” and promoting shows.

Katherine- There is enough Flair material available to do 2-3 more DVD’s about “The Naitch’s” career.

Darius- If you recall I picked Tulsa to win last week versus East Carolina. I am shocked that the TU fans are not selling out Skelly Stadium for this team however. Coach Kragthorpe is a keeper but the Golden Hurricane fans need to respond in big numbers or the Coach will no doubt seek greener pastures. I have no issue with AD being in the game last week when he was injured. I think that excuse is a cop out and I am sure some fans or media members may attempt to make that an issue but not me. It was a freak injury albeit a heart breaker. No one is going to feel sorry for OU including the Sooners themselves. Colorado certainly won’t this Saturday night I assure you. Nonetheless, AD will be sorely missed and can never be replaced but he can be successfully substituted for. The next game that # 28 plays in will most likely be in the NFL.

Marco in Germany-The idea of a Ladder Match DVD has been discussed from what I understand but I could be wrong. I would buy a Ladder Match DVD without fail. I like the Hell in a Cell concept, too. Certainly both can easily be done in the future.

Tim- I can definitely see HHH as the WWE Champion again someday. The Game is too good and has too many excellent years ahead of him to not win another major title. However, I am enjoying DX and hope we get to see HHH/HBK together for an extended length of time. The more tags they are in the longer their careers are extended in my view.

Jaffer-I have no idea what you mean about “why the King’s antics are slowing down”. Can you make yourself more clear? I have answered the UK pay per view question numerous times. I am not a WWE spokesman but I know the WWE deeply values all their fans and that the UK has long supported the WWE in a big way. I would bet that the WWE will have a pay per view in the UK much sooner than later.

Flying Brian- If you want a little spice in your sauces then try our Chipotle BBQ Sauce, our Jalapeno Honey Mustard or the Chipolte Ketchup. None of them will “light you up” but they are pleasantly spicy. Our on line store never closes.

Nick-I too have great respect for William Regal both personally and professionally. Regal is a true diamond in the rough and can be an even bigger asset to his brand in a variety of ways. Regal’s verbal skills are excellent and his in ring style is unique. Plus, Regal is a tough dude and a great team player.

....more responses and blogs still to come this week. Thanks!
J.R.

J.R. I just heared that finly is going to the place that burchill is at why not a trade for burchill to be back
Wed, 08/01/2007 - 21:20 — nathan hall (not verified)
J.R. last when we e-mailed you we said a very importent piraite. paul burchill. but there was another piriate that has his name in history. CAPTIN JACK SPARROW. maybe you can put them as a tag team. i can see it NOW! the follow in tag team contest is scegualed for first from st thomas in the virgin islands (or the open ocean if paul moved) at a combind weight of 503 pounds jack & paul the suashihbucklers. introducing the tag team oponint from NYC at a combind weight of 722 pounds matt striker & big daddy v

dear J.R. me and a friend of mind thought of to bring back our favorite pirate ( exsepte CPT. JACK SPARROW )paul burchill back to wwe. and sence paul hamin isnt G.M. of ECW why not have paul burchill be the G.M.?! and make more titles for the show, ya can't have just one title make a tag team title, bring back the ecw hardcore title and maybe think of your own title for the last one. And get more t.v. time for more fights. be honest, is it aa good idea. for a pirate to be, EXTREME! And another idea how about the General maneger of the year aword that relly takes place at westle mania every year. (Teddy Long vs Coach vs Paul Burchill.) friend: Dear J.R. when is the undertaker (phenom/deadman/15-0) coming back to smackdown or didn't he ever leave?

I noticed that on the WWE's shows opening where Legends get shown that Trish was removed and replaced by Torrie. I know you had nothing to do with this but I wanted to know how you feel about it. Also I keep hearing that Trish has heat on her because she did not want to appear on the 3 hour Raw. Have you heard anything on that?

Hey JR, First of all, how's your voice doing. I always get a little shudder at the end of RAW and it sounds like your voice is just spent. I'm hoping its just a temporary thing. My main question is this. Alot of people have questioned the validity of the voting in Cyber Sunday (and Taboo Tuesday) in the past, saying that the WWE will pick whomever they want regardless of the fan's actual votes. Personally, I don't buy this because of situations where the WWE's intended booking was somewhat usurped (last year with Matt Hardy beating out JBL), but I'd love a somewhat more official word so that I have even more ammo to shoot back at the doubters with. Regards, ~Kevin

kevin, yeah your right, my bad, your right about saying albert sucks and that he had one title run. But your just as wrong as I was about getting the facts straight cause, Albert did not hold the IC title for a few months, he had it for 3 weeks from 6 - 28 - 01 till 7 - 23 - 01. So I guess I'm not the only one who needs to get my facts straight and all of this still dose'nt prove me wrong about the fact that Albert Sucks and that was all. Sorry bout the title thing but he still sucks and now you too know when your talking about a crappy wrestler like Albert it's hard to get the facts straight cause there are not that many things that stand out about him other than he sucks. So your just as much of an idiot that I'm suppose to be cause um 3 weeks and a few months thats a little off. Hardys & CM Punk 4 Brand Champions

Hey J.R Will the Undertaker ever wrestle full time again. I thought he looked awesome against cena on Raw, and would love to see a heel, darker Undeetaker wreak havoc again. Will we ever see this??
Tue, 10/24/2006 - 02:31 — Marcus R. (not verified)
Hey jr, I just wanted to get your opinion onm what you think of wrestlers ahving their own custom championships. I liked Cena's belt win he first introduced it because it went along with his character, but now i think it's just rediculus to me that other wrestlers are using it. Any chance of bring back the old undisputed title back for when someone else whens it?
Mon, 10/23/2006 - 17:30 — kevin (not verified)
Donnie DarKo, what an idiot. I mean don't got me wrong A-train really did suck. But if your going to bash someone because they like a certain wrestler at least know your facts. Yes, craploads of people won the hardcore title including a referee and one of the godfather's hoes, but not Albert. No he never won that meaniningless tite BUT A-train did win one of the most prestigous titles in wrestling history... the Intercontinental Championship. He beat Kane in 2001 and held the title for a few months. Get your facts straight!
Mon, 10/23/2006 - 15:29 — Donnie DarKo (not verified)
Hey Elliott, Personally, I myself, liked your story. If I was JR and I did'nt know who A-Train was, I would look into scouting him. But I'm not JR, and I know who Albert is and I am sorry to tell you, in fact not opion, that it was the smartest thing WWE had done in a long time when they let Albert go mainly because he sucks. He's never even one any WWE title. No tag team title, not even a hardcore title and back then everyone on the roster had the hardcore title at least once but not Albert. I'm sure if JR wanted to, he could have even had the Hardcore title. Even Brisco and Patterson held that title, but never A-Train, nope, cause he sucks. Sorry Elliott. EVEN Terri Runnels, Molly Holly, and Trish Stratus had that title, not Albert. EVEN ONE OF THE GOFATHER'S HO'S had the hardcore title, so why did you want WWE to bring back Albert, we know they have plenty enough trash cans, they use them in the ring all the time as weapons in hardcore matches, so Albert can be atrash can somewhere else. Really, I'm Sorry, I just don't understand ALBERT? Hardys & CM Punk 4 Brand Champions

Hey JR I've just got 1 question. Why is the undertaker only appearing/wrestling part time? Why wont he be wrestling full time?
Sat, 10/21/2006 - 17:51 — Elliott (not verified)
Nice to see you giving feedback to your loyal fans JR, me being one of them! I just wanted to ask, if you really wouldn't mind, if you ever get a say in on who is signed to WWE, well maybe you could bring up A-Train, formerly known as Albert or Prince Albert, he and Andrew 'Test' Martin are apparently friends, after getting released by WWE in 2004, both were out of a job after that, I heard. Test as you know has resigned, back and better than ever, he looks really muscly, and although I'm really convinced, without knowing whether he's had a drug test, I cant say thats due to steroids! But anyway, I believe A-Trains still out of a job, and maybe you could mention him with Test sometime because I think he's a huge talent and after WWE signed a few people back (Rodney Mack, Marty Janetty etc) I thought maybe they could consider A-Train, who I think would be a great addition to the Raw or Smackdown rosters, however I believe would be at home in the ECW roster! Take this into consideration as although being just a fan I have no involvement and no participation in who is signed and who is suggested, and there may be reasons that WWE cannot sign A-Train, but if you could slip his name in somewhere I'd be deeply grateful as it'd be a huge opportunity for A-Train, a chance for WWE to gain ratings or gain new storylines like A-Train being a challenge to the likes of Big Show, Umaga, Batista or even Lashley, and it'd be nice for A-Train fans to see him back in WWE! Yours Truly Elliott

Mr Ross Id like to start by saying i love all these dvds the WWE is releasing, its great to see alot of the matches (especially the undertaker & hogan matches)that i loved back in the 90's and to relive those great moments is awsome. Now to the not so bright side. The Ultimate Warrior. i was EXTREMELY disappointed on how the WWE went about that dvd. heres my view mr Ross, about 95% of this industry is what we as the fan see on television, and for WWE to badger his personal attitude and expieriences was wrong. leave his outa ring business alone. We got other dvds about Hogan and the Undertaker,not Terry Bolegia and Mark Callaway. this dvd was about Jim Helwig not the Ultimate Warrior. let me ask you a question JR, did WWE give there oppinion on the human , not the character of Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, or Ric Flair? to some of us and i think its more than some as to Bobby the Brain Heenans (who i had alot of respect for prior to this dvd) alot of people love the Warrior. This dvd was nothing more than a bashing, where as others like Hogan and Bret got tributes. Cuz i guess Warrior did nothing for the WWF right? We try to forget but Hogan sued WWE too so hes no golden boy either, WWE fails to say that in his dvd though. But it was made CRYSTAL clear in Warriors. this has become a rant and unfortunatly at your expense Mr Ross, but i feel if anyone not only does WWE owe the Warrior a dvd of his greatest matches cuz hes had quit a few, WWE owes it to the fans. you see what i took away from "THE SELF DESTRUCTION OF THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR" is that in the eyes of WWE im an idiot for having liked and i still due, the Ultimate Warrior. was that WWE's goal? because according to them he was no good so that must make me and millions others fools that we cant even get a dvd about a guy we respscter in "IN THE RING". id really like to hear back from you on this Mr Ross, your comments on the dvd wernt out of line like many others, but id like to hear feedback on what i wrote. -Joe Fish

JR. Love the blog. Great to hear the opinions of someone I highly respect in professional wrestling. Here is a name I would like to see in WWE. Bob "The Beast" Sapp.

Hey JR. I just wanted to know if you got my New Orleans email. I really feel passionately about my idea, and would like your opinion/response.
Thu, 10/19/2006 - 20:02 — Donnie DarKo (not verified)
Sorry JR (I know I should put everything I Have to say in one colum), Whey did'nt the WWE ever pick up the Halloween Havoc PPV name and or War Games, I know you had to love caliing the War Games. Every wrestling fan that I know who was a hardcore fan in the 80's and early 90's and still to this day that I know hate that WWE never picked up War Games. I know, they have the Elimination Chamber match, but thats not the same and it not for team wrestling like War Games. Is there anyway you can try to get the idea out there for a 4 vs. 4 or 5 vs. 5 in a double ring steel cage. Like a Raw vs. Smackdown or Smackdown vs. ECW or ECW vs. Raw or hell even 4 or 5 vs. 4 or 5 vs. 4 or 5 in a Smackdown vs. ECW vs. RAW in a triple threat rules match? I know your not in the creative department, but is there anyway you can hint or try to minipulate this idea? Even if it's 2 Smackdown guys vs. 2 Raw guys vs. 2 ECW guys in an elimination chamber Match, once again triple threat rules 2 vs. 2 vs. 2. I think the War games would be a better match though. But with the Elimination Chamber Match you could follow through with the champion of champions angle after Cyber Sunday. What could happen is Cena, Booker, and Show can all pick a partner from the respective shows and lead in to a Survivor Series 2 Raw vs. 2 Smackdown vs. 2 ECW for Survivor Series in an Elimination Chamber match, triple threat rules as a follow up to the champion of champions match from Cyber Sunday. Even if you can not put this idea out there what do you think about this. I know WWE says leave the storylines to the creative team but sorry JR, I know whats going to happen play by play or step by step a week or two sometimes a month before it even happens and not from reading rumors on the internet. Just from picturing it in my head, and it's been like that for almost ten years. I even knew the Kurt Angel\TNA thing right when Kurt was released. And I don't think I'm the only one cause alot of it is common sense and I know I'm defitnitly no psychic. I know there's nothing any of us can do it about it though. Have you ever had a thought of joing the creative team cause i think you have a great vision for wrestling and it would probably make the shows alot more interesting for your fans which i believe is probably 186.9% percent of people who watch wrestling.

Thu, 10/19/2006 - 18:38 — Donnie DarKo (not verified)
Oh yeah JR, I do have something to say about wrestling. Tell me what your thoughts are on the DX vs. Edge/Orton feud presently going on. I love it. I think Edge and Orton could be the next DX in a way. Kind Of How HBK made it to a big time promotion about 7-8 years before HHH as did Edge before Orton. When HBk & HHH they were the future of the WWE (Before Shawn was hurt) As to Edge and Orton. Personally I love it, In my opion it is one of the best angles/feuds in a while. The only thing is there needs to be a team name for Edge\Orton, you think? Hardy's 4 Brand Champions

Hey J.R I have a few questions. 1.)Does WWE have any plans on a Sid dvd. I know some people call him talentless but I believe he was an interesting character who is underated and deserves a re-appearance or Hall of fame consideration in WWE. He had a great feud with Shawn Michaels and was in WCW, WWE and ECW so that dvd could be very interesting and a top seller. 2.)Will the ECW pay per view be all extreme rules matches? That would be cool. 3.)Have you ever heard of Jack Evans, this guy is the craziest high flyer in wrestling history. And he reminds me so much of Eminem. 4.)Does Vince Mcmahon watch any other promotions to get ideas or scout talent? Thanks for any replys.

Heh j.r. have been on holiday, first time I have checked your website out in 3 weeks god, everyone knows about it know. scrolling down the responses takes two minutes! Anyway hope your ok. Quick question, what is your view on hulk hogan can you see him in your own view wrestle again in a wwe ring, if so who would you like him to see wrestle?
Thu, 10/19/2006 - 16:53 — kevin (not verified)
hey jr, First i'd like to give my opinions on your responses. Chad I have to agree, why didn't they edit out that jackass(literally). Then again the whole William Regal penis incident was also a pretape. And if your going to purposely show nudity why not let one of the divas have a waldrobe malfunction. Adham the reason why people like christian and matt hardy are because Vince is'nt getting his butt handed to him in ratings anymore. I mean Austin, Rock, Foley and HHH did wrestle for vince in '96 and were nothing more than middle carders.Then after persisting to do things his way (i.e. The Pug, Who, T.J. Hopper, Freddy Joe Floyd,ect) wwe came close to going under; kinda like wcw now. vince had no choice but to listen to the fans, thus the boom period ending the ratings slump and ultimately destroying wcw. Now that the threat of competition has depleted were back to crappy gimmicks( Vito, Paul Burchill the pirate, Sylvan the ambassador,ect) because you Adham the wrestling FAN can no longer change the channel to something different. Oh and Adham the voting is not fixed but the winner is. Expect whosevers title gets voted on the line to win and retain their title. And now my question J.R., Now I know it looks like I am the tipical wrestling fan that only writes to complain, but this one defenitly needs to be heard . With the relaunch of ecw i was SO EXITED last summer and SO HAPPY that vince, not even in a monday night war, was going to give in to a competitor and do what is right for buisness.The loud chants of ECW,ECW,ECW, the high selling rise and fall dvd, and the enormous ppv buy for one nite stand. But it only took 15 minutes of the first show to realize that something was up. This was not ECW, it was WWECW. Now I know that the idea is trying to bring it back on a worldwide level, but ecw obviously did not need a worldwide audience to sell dvd's and ppv's before. WCW had a worldwide audience and they haven't been brought back by popular demand. It to me is similar to the MNW dvd where Ric Flair is complaining about creative in early 90's wcw. The new management made him cut his hair short, change his look, and even tried to give him an earing. The attitude on the dvd was you would'nt change the history of the yankees or redsox, then why would you want to change the Nature Boy! That is my honest feeling about ECW! WWE (Vince) has turned ecw into a different style promotion which finally brings me to my point. A couple of weeks ago on ecw you made a special appearence in your hometown. You was trying to get the Sandman over, but before that you told the audience of how the new days of ecw reminded you of the old days of the mid-south territory in Oklahoma. Well J.R. thats my point. Shouldnt the new ecw remind you of the old ecw? What was the idea of that. Its kinda like making a sequel to a movie, bringing back the characters of the first film, and then make a totaly different style movie using the same name to trick the audience. Well too many complaints, please respond J.R. you are so awesome for doing this. P.S. I think ~Jess~ has a crush on you!

Hey JR, I have been a big fan of yours for years I mean all the way back to your work for Bill Watt's in Mid South. I have always enjoyed your passion for wrestling thats what keeps me watching most days. I have a couple of quick questions for you if you don't mind. My first question for you is when might your autobiography be written? How bout a best of JR dvd? I am sure with all your years in wrestling there is enough material. I am also curious as to if you would ever consider working for TNA as I am sure you would get better treatment than you do in WWE (just my opionion of course). Do you think that there will ever be a another good rival for WWE? I could ask you questions all day but that will do for now. Take care and I enjoy the site and I hope to try the sauce's soon as well. A loyal fan always, Derrick

Hi Jim , just wondering what you think of wrestling fans these days , i go on alot of wrestling forums and while angle was in wwe ,he was all the rave , no -one said a bad word against him but now he's went to tna ,they all call him a traitor and say he's a bad wrestler , it seems to me all these internet fans watch wrestling for about a month and think they know about it , also on these forums i go on , it seems to be 'uncool' to like babyface wrestlers and cool to like unpopular ones, these are the type of fans which are ruining wrestling, i used to watch wcw in 1997 on TNT and only switched over to wwf when wcw was on adverts , then when wcw was bought i started watching wwe , now i have started watching tna , wwe used to be great in the austin / rock era but now i find it hard to watch , all no name wrestlers in boring matches and the 'fans' keep watching it and make themselves believe that its entertaining , thats why tna is refreshing to watch and alot more entertaining , Cheers Jim! / J.Smith (manchester , England)

Hi JR I put up a comment recently and I know you take just enough time to answer these I have a two parter as well first my original question of your thoughts on Miss Elizabeth getting into the WWE Hall Of Fame in the future since Sherri got in this year. Number two I have heard Lance Storm has been training Dallas Hart and that the WWE is possibly eyeing him would you like to see come into the WWE? I couldn,t believe how grown he looks now when I saw him on the Hall Of Fame Ceremony I guess time flies Happy Anniversary to you and the Mrs:).
Thu, 10/19/2006 - 12:48 — TjMarshal (not verified)
JR, I have a couple of questions and comments about the ECW brand. I was a critic of how WWE had been presenting the brand up until recently. When it was first launched, I had been expecting to see a lot of things similar to the ECW I knew well, while at the same time recognizing and accepting the fact that the old ECW exists only in my memories. I believe the problem occured because I felt misled when the brand was introduced. There was no specifications as to plans for how the brand would be presented on television. Do you feel improper promotion of a match/brand can lead to a rocky start, similar to what the NEW ECW has gone through? Also, I wanted to know why certain stories and feuds are seemingly dropped out of nowhere, such as the Kane vs Kane story recently. I accept that it may not be producing the type of results the WWE wishes, but such abrupt endings with little to no resolve leave me feeling confused about the show and product. Respectfully now enjoying the New ECW greatly, TjMarshal

What are your views on Paul Birchill do you think he could go all the way or do you think he is doomed to be one of the talented brits that never gets anywhere near the title (eg davey boy smith, william regal, dynamite kid and of course the latest smith harry) I was really looking forward to his bebut but it was against rob conway i thought he would be used to continue the story line of vince vs hbk with the whole screw job being the story line looks like i was optomistic for nothing anyway i hope i am wrong and i hear you one day announce one of them as wwe champion

Hey Jim How's it going i was wondering if WWE plans on putting out a Best of WCW dvd with the best matchs & moments in wcw history I mean yes WCW was a thorn in their side for quite sometime, but i think the fans would love it i know i would. all the greats like Sting ,Flair Steamboat,Rude,Rhodes ,Vader,Windam& a number of others had great matchs and would be a great dvd collection in my mind do you think this would ever happen because if so that would be a true blessing & has extras they should put like the intros to some of the old wcw tv shows like worldwide,saturday night,main event,pro,power hour,nitro,& thunder just to let us take a walk down memory lane "just a thought" Its a lecacy that should not be be forgotten.

Do you envisage a DVD ever being made about Owen Hart?? I'd love to see one done with his best WWE and WCW matches, and interviews from his former colleagues and brothers. I think it would be a great honour to one of the most underatted wrestlers that WWE has ever had. PS see you Nov 13th JR I will be at Monday Night RAW from Manchester, my first ever wrestling event (at 27!), and I can't wait!

y is the wwe doin a vote which belt is on the line at cyber sunday the 3 belts ain’t nearly as meaning ful as they wre 3 years ago i mean wwe championship being lost 2 an ecw event and a wrestler who hasn’t improved his in ring ability in nearly 5 years, the ecw belt being created out of thing air and put on the big show who i must admit has done a good job but he wasn’t the first choice and every 1 knows that also the world heavyweight belt has lost credability because smackdown is seen as the b- brand and not treaty as an equal to raw the past couple of years it is a very bad idea and the person who loses should definatly regain their belt very very soon j.r give me your thoughts on this you are in the wrestling business of course and i am just a fan thanks from greg in the UK

Hello JR as a loyal WWE fan since 1994 I am upset to see that WWE is in the slump that it has been in the last few years. I also think WWE is not as fan friendly as they used to be for eg confiscating anti John Cena sighns, Ignoring fan reactions to guys such as Christian and Matt Hardy etc. I really think should have there voices listened to much, much more cosidering that the creative over there does not seem so creative. Also why are SmackDown & ECW not live! this is sorly needed from what I can see esspecially since the past two ECW's were taped in advance. Either this should happen or WWE should find some way to counter or bann spoilers that get posted all over the net. On a different note I would like to know If you or Jerry actually did vote on stuff for either Taboo Tuesdays or for the upcomming Cyber Sunday Because surely that should not be aloud. Which reminds me I hope the voting is not rigged in anyway. See yah on RAW.

Hey J.R, I had sent an e-mail Bfore but I don't think I sent it right. I just want to know, will Kane ever get a decent chance at the main title do you think? I would say he is the most deserving of it. It does seem that he helps the youngers guys out more than himself which is great, but sometimes and I know many other fans who feel the same way, feel that Kane isn't used to his fullest potential. I just want to know, first do you agree Kane would make a great champion, and is he well respected throughtout WWE, no matter where he may be put on the card. As well, I hope anyway that if not now, in the future Kane would be considered a legend. I also get the feelin he gets on with everyone, and the younger guys too like John Cena and Randy Orton etc. Anyway hope you'll be able to answer. Keep up the good work man, hope to be able to meet you all sometime in the future. Take care. Danny from U.K

Hey JR I too have respect for Regal. And honestly I think when he retires that he would be one of the best colour commentators in history if he decided to do that. Speaking of Commentators how come the King doesnt root for the heel anymore? instead he seems to cheer for the faces, I always thought he was funnier playing the bad guy at the announce table. One last question before I start to get ready for school, do you ever think we will get to see "The Man of a Thousand Holds" Dean Malenko back in the ring? I was looking forward to him and Benoit at the last ECW PPV but I heard Vince McMahon nixed the idea that almost killed the PPV for me. I know hes a agent or whatever they're called now but so was Finlay for a while and he came back so is there any chance we could see Dean back in the ring? In my opinion hes one of the most underrated wrestlers ever.

Hey JR, who is the person responsible for the film id's of the wrestlers with rain in the background. You know the footage that is used to promote buildup for matches. I read Barry Bross is in charge of onair promotions, is it him? How do you think the production team compares to when David Sahadi was in charge of it?

Hey JR, I was wondering if you'd think WWE would be the best place for an aspiring wrestler to go to? Lately I've been reading a lot of autobiographies, and I've realized a lot of these wrestlers that were so great, like Austin, Hogan, HBK, Foley, had their own input on character. From what I read these days and from what we see on TV, a lot of this is thought out by the creative team and just give a script for the wrestlers to remember. Would you suggest that I aim to go to WWE or just aim to get into the pro wrestling business period?

JR: Was it just a slip of the tongue (or I guess keyboard) or were you foreshadowing a possible reunion in your commentary on WWE.com. You were talking about the building DX-Edge/ Orton feud (which I think has a TON of potential) and said that it could get interesting if Vince backs Edge and CHRISTIAN. Am I reading too much into it or were you dropping subtle hints?

JR was wondering if the WWE plan to release a DVD of the Dynamite Kid Tom Billington? Dynamite is one of the greatest wrestlers (especially a light heavyweight) that WWE had and was a supreme tag team wrestler, and the snap suplex was just wonderful Has the WWE kept in touch with Dynamite, after all he suffered a lot for his work, not just in WWE but in Stampede, NJPW & AJPW plus more, and Dynamite has influnced so many stars the world over for example WWE’s own Chris Benoit who uses both the diving headbutt and snap suplex made famous by Dynamite Is there any reason why does the WWE not work more with companies in Japan any longer? It would be good to see some wrestlers from Pro Wrestling Noah, NJPW or AJPW wrestle some of the stars of WWE & ECW in the same way that there would be joint shows in the early 90’s Another question do the WWE plan of having another 'supershow' in the UK, after all the last one Summerslam 92 was huge success Grant in UK

My question is about an Eddie Guerrero DVD. I know that he already has one on his carreer but I was expecting WWE to make one about the Raw and Smackdown Memorial Specials. It can have both shows, testimonials, Eddie's Last Match on Smackdown, his last PPV match with Batista, and his Hall of Fame induction seremony. I would deffinatly pick that up in a heartbeat. -Dustin Nelson

Sorry JR, one mroe thing, do you see the WWE ever using the Three teired Cage that WCW used once or twice? I think it was a really cool concept and could fit well with WWE

Hey JR, absolutely love reading your blogs! It brings me back to the old Ross Report days without having to wait a week for each one and having more interaction with the fans. I'm wondering if you think it would be a realistic goal to be able to sell out the Silverdome for a Wrestlemania show in the future and what you think the Main Event shoudl have to be to draw that amount of people. Also I have to say I really enjoyed Edge and Orton's pairing on RAW. Thier impression of DX was great! I think given the right angle/story and handled correctly they could have a huge Impact on RAW as a tag team as they have individually. What do you think? Also regarding the Brand Split, do you prefer when certain Championships were on Certain Brands and the World Champ was able to go between and defend on both shows or the way it is now with 2 sepreate sets of titles, etc. It think they should have one set of Titles and the champions be able to go betwee both brands. And one last question, do you think we'll see Jericho back sooner rather than later or vise versa? I miss him on RAW!

Mr. Ross, With all due respect to all your past involving wrestling,and with "The King's" past as well, When is enough enough? Do you see you guys "hanging it up" and letting some new blood entertain us? If i have to hear Lawler's childish rant everytime a "diva" comes out... Raw is the flagship show of WWE, but homestly..ECW has much better announcing..Ill keep Watching Raw ...with the MUTE button on !!

1. What advice do you have for young guys like me who are trying to get into the business? 2. Even though you haven't been in many matches, which one was your favorite that you competed in? 3. What is your favorite concept of all time? (Mine is the Royal Rumble)

JR With the loss of Trish Stratus, do you think women's WRESTLING will be given the chance to shine again on RAW? As mush as i love bra&panties, i'd love to see people like Victoria and Mickie goes at it in a wrestling match for 5-10 minutes on RAW. Victoria seems to give her all everytime she is out there, even just with her little character moments. The same can be said for Mickie, and both seem to be able to actually wrestle. Melina could also be good(if we got the chance to see her wrestle) and Candice looks to be improving, and also pushing herself to get better. With Jazz being wasted on ECW, and Jillian Hall and Krystal (so stunning by the way) on Smackdown, it seems like the WWE has the potential to build a decent Women's division. Can you see this ever happening, and what are your thought on the current crop of girls?

Hey J.R., I just have one question for ya that I know you must have been asked quite a few times, actually it's a 2 part question. Firstly, do you ever see The Macho Man returning in some capacity to the WWE? I always thought he had way more charisma and wrestling ability than Hulk Hogan, and I've seen hogan make numerous comebacks, do you think it's in the cards for Randy Savage to make a return? And if any older superstars from the 80s were to make returns, who would you like to see come back? I know these days it's all about the young guys, but I like seeing a good mix of the younger guys and the older talents. Thanks

Hey JR, You are amazing for even doing this, I must say. My question for you is this: I'm currently reading Bischoff's book. Interesting, so far. I've had it for only a day but have managed to get through some of it. My main concern is with all wrestler-related books that I've read is, of course, bias and truth. Pretty much everyone has their side of every story, but aside of Mick Foley's books, which just have so much charm you have to believe every word he says, I can't seem to find any truth in anything. My question (finally) has to do with Bischoff's comments about you...Do you agree? Obviously you'll have you own side, but how truthful IS Eric Bischoff being in the book that he makes so many claims to have written to set the truth to a lot of things? Whew, that was long winded. Have a nice day!!!! - Diana
