J.R.'s Family Bar-B-Q

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!
