J.R.'s BBQ Sooner Pigksin Report (from OUinsider.com)

Posted in:
Shooting the breeze from a BBQ lovin’ Sooner fan while still smiling over a nice win against “The U”, and hoping the Sooners can beat Utah State into submission early Saturday afternoon to give the key players some R&R for what will be a shortened week to prepare for the trip down the turnpike for the Friday September 21 game at Tulsa. Yours truly had the opportunity to be on the Sooner sideline Saturday, and here are a few random observations: Read the rest of the story at OUinsider.com » Webmaster

Hey JR, Look forward to your write-ups on ouinsider.com every week. Keep the "magic" going. I understand that you are coming to New York in October, MSG, with the WWE. I am writing you on behalf of a mom and her disadvantaged son who is really into the whole wrestling experience. He's 17. To make a long story short they can't get tickets. Is there anything that you might be able to do? If possible,let me know. I'd appreciate it. Harris
Mr. Ross i was wondering generically ( without giving a name, or specific contract logistics) how wrestlers are paid. Per performance, appearance etc. And are they paid for interviews and press stuff?
hi J.R just wondering why hasn't Stu Hart been inducted in2 the WWE hall of fame yet? also if Flair is 2 have his retirement match at WM24 who would u like it 2 be against?
What is your oppinion on the recent Randy Orton incident with the fan and the camera?
Hello again,JR!! First off, thanks so much for replying to my email a few weeks back regarding about the whole Nationwide Arena/OSU thing as well as where Marcus Cor Von has been. I appreciate that very much. Now on to business. Definitely your Sooners have been doing well. Can't wait for your Red River Shootout next month against your Longhorns. Us Buckeyes will be watching. The Unforgiven PPV was nice to watch, especially the Triple Threat match and the return of the Undertaker. The crowd watching the show went nuts on the finishing moves of Taker & Batista picking up the big giants. Here are my questions for you this time around: 1. The WWE has come out with some great DVD's for the holidays the last few years. Do you know what they're doing for this year and will you be involved in any of them? 2. My friends wanted to ask me if you know how Paul Wight(The Big Show) is doing. I miss seeing him in the ring and I remember hearing about him taking time off to heal some injuries from the past. 3. This is the big one that I know of. We know that there's a "wedding" this Friday night on Smackdown, but will you be attending Randy Orton's that same night in the St. Louis area? Here's how I know about this. My stepmother works as a teacher at Lafayette High School in the Chesterfield/Ballwin area. She knows an assistant there, whose daughter is engaged to Randy Orton. My father called me up and they're attending the nuptials this weekend. He said he'd send me a picture or two with him. Was curious if you were attending the event? That's it from here, JR from the Buckeye State. Keep up the great work and I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Jason
A dreadful Unforgiven, an appalling Raw and Hunter back burying guys left right and centre... even 5 at a time! You're the only saving grace JR in a sea of WWE awfulness!
Hey JR, I'm from Malta here...the little island in the middle of the meditteranean...anyways I am a wrestling fan and even a greater HBK fan. I have read some rumours on the web regarding HBK that concerned me. Sources are saying that at this point in time he is happy with his career and that he is enjoying his life at home and i don't have any doubt that he is. But what concerned me is that they also saying that he is no interest to return not even in November and that it could be significantly longer before we see HBK back on RAW. Sources also claim that it was HHH's decision to take him down to OVW so as to get the business back in the blood. Is all of this true??
Went to your place Tuesday evening & once again had a great meal. Great price & taste. Plus the scenery is easy to look at.
Any plans on opening a restaurant in or around NYC?
Boomer Sooner! man will WWE ever come back to Oklahoma well i cant wait till they do
Howdy, Was wondering if your going to head up the turnpike for the OU vs Tulsa game? I live in Tulsa.. but Im going to be sitting on the Sooner side haha.. My first college football game! and I get to enjoy it with my mother and father. Well, be safe and see you around!
JR, Sportsline is predicting OU will be playing Rutgers in the Fiesta Bowl. As a long suffering Rutgers fan and alum, I would love to see the Scarlet Knights in such a high profile game. My question, since you follow college ball so much, is what to you think of the resurgence of Rutgers football?
JR, surely you must have some pull with the direction of the product, right? I can understand there are some injury issues right now, and the Smackdown roster is ridiculously thin after the heavy Raw-lean draft. But keep Khali off my tv. He is b-r-u-t-a-l to watch. I didn't watch Unforgiven last night and I won't if he's ever holding the WWE or World Title again. He dropping the strap was long overdue. And don't even get me started on having Mark Henry in the main event...yowzas. I've heard from numerous people that was one of the worst matches ever (especially given it's main event slot). I have to believe for people booking this, who live this trade, can understand when someone is boring the audience to tears.
JR I was wondering if you ever had the pleasure of meeting Keith Jackson?
I heard a rumor Dirty Duch Mantel was working behind the scenes with the WWE...any truth to that? Thanks Jason
Hey JR.. you didnt get to read my comment the last time but thats cool.. busy busy.. So.. my questions are.. 1) an plans to open a JR's BBQ in Ireland.. 2) whens Ken Kennedy due back.. im not sure when his suspension started. 3)Could you PLEASE tell GM Regal that its UMAGA.. not Umanga. 4) will we see Cena Vs Batista anytime soon? thanks in anticipation of you answering my questions
Hey JR, great work here and on Raw as always. I'm curious who you root for in the NFL, if any teams? Also anxious to see your thoughts about the Unforgiven winners and losers. Best wishes and congrats on the restaurant's success so far!
Hi JR, just wondering if champions are responsible for carrying their title belt with them when traveling? Or does it stay with the production crew? If they do keep their belts, do most take their belt carry-on on flights? I would think it would be too risky to lose it in checked baggage.
Hey JR, in your opinion, who would you rank ahead on your all time list of best wrestlers: Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart? And what would be your reasoning. I ask because it is definitely something that's discussed by wrestling fans all the time, and you've probably seen most of their greatest matches in the WWE. Also, look out for Dejuan Miller next year. He goes to my high school and he's gonna be a Sooner next year, at wide reciever. http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=2683782
Have you seen the new show "Mad Men" on AMC? What about "Dexter" on Showtime? If you have seen any, what do you think? If you haven't, I seriously recommended you see those shows, which are the best I've seen since The Sopranos & 24.
Hey JR are the Sooners chowing down on your barbque before the game? I saw the score from yesterday's game and wow!! They seem to be on a roll righ now. I hope they have a great season. BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!
This next Tuesday is my 25th wedding anniversary, and I am planning on bringing my wife & son to eat at your place that evening. Hopefully you will be there this time & we can meet you. Looks like the Sooners are on a roll. This Friday night should be much of the same. Roy
HI JR I would like to say I love your blog,and I would like to say I get feed up off people writing about TNA.
Hey J.R., Well the college football season is shaping up to be one of the best (I think) in recent memory. If things keep going the way they are do you see your beloved Sooners possibly getting the shaft in the national title picture? They are ranked 3rd now, and people are already putting USC and LSU in the title game. Are we looking at 3 or more undefeated teams this year, or do you think someone (including Oklahoma) will stumble along the way? Still love the site Sir keep up the good work! Brad
Howdy JR, Just want to first comment and say that I'm a big fan of yours, and cannot wait until the day that I get to try out some of J.R.'s Family Bar-B-Q. I was wondering if you could comment on the reaction of the Superstars (and yourself) in the back, after the first ever ladder match between the Hardy's and Christian & Edge? I would have to believe that everybody was in AWWWWW afterwards!!!!!
J.R., Knowing that you're a big football fan and an 'old-school' kind of guy, I'm interested in your thoughts on the signal stealing scandal that hit the New England Patriots. I think they got off far too light in the punishment department, and I can't help but wonder how long the Pats have been doing this...and how many teams they cheated their way to victory over because of signal stealing. The thought of it makes my stomach churn! Sanjay Brockville, Ontario
Hey JR, just a quick question. Were you a little bit suprised, given all the big WrestleMania Moments over the years, that Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb off the ladder at WrestleMania 16 won the fan vote on wwe.com??
