Strikeforce Thoughts from Saturday Night..Random Thoughts...JR's Original BBQ Sauce Selling
Sun, 04/18/2010 - 12:18pm — J.R.
Posted in:
It's a rainy weekend here in Norman, Oklahoma and the talk of the town is the OKC Thunder who play the LA Lakers later today in game one of their NBA playoff series. The grill's hot so let's start cooking...
Strikeforce on CBS was an interesting TV show Saturday night that I watched live and then watched again later in the evening. Was Strikeforce the most compelling MMA TV show that I can remember seeing in the past few weeks? No. Was I sorry that I watched it? Absolutely not.
The talk of the show, which one can assume that some novice, MMA fans likely thought was lackluster, was the post main event brawl that no one saw coming as evidenced by how it was shot by CBS and by how the broadcasters reacted.
Mayhem Miller seemed to go into business for himself when he stepped into the cage to confront Middleweight Champion Jake Shields who had just won a unanimous 5 round decision over heavily favored challenger Dan Henderson. The act of making a challenge wasn't indictable but the overreaction of Shields' camp to Millers grandstand ploy was not desirable.
Miller tried to 'cut in line' of the list of challengers for Shields' title and to obviously make himself relevant to Strikeforce fans and create a ground swell to earn a main event fight with Shields who beat Miller in 2009.
The most negative thing that came our of this mêlée was that the 'thug element' perception that many casual sports fans have regarding elements of MMA was underscored. The NFL is a cash cow for the networks and the NFL is held in high esteem but even the NFL is trying to clean up their act through the efforts of Commission Roger Goodell. MMA isn't established to the level that their unsavory moments will be tolerated or taken lightly by a network partner such as CBS.
The actions of many involved in the post game fiasco cannot be tolerated and penalties of significance should be doled out.
The number of corner men and/or the fighter's entourage allowed at cage side needs to be addressed and lessened.
Why was Miller even allowed to enter the cage in the first place. Brock Lesnar was professionally brought into the Octagon after Shane Carwin destroyed Frank Mir to set up the July 3 Lesnar-Carwin fight but Brock conducted himself like the big time, professional athlete that he is. Lesnar did not go 'thug life' or in business strictly for himself but did make me want to see Brock fight Carwin for the undisputed heavyweight title in UFC.
It's like a storyline in pro wrestling or a game plan in football....it all comes back to the same basic element and that is execution. I have no issue with Mayhem Miller making a grandiose challenge but I do feel how it was handled by all involved was bush league and not a good thing for MMA in general.
Other thoughts from Saturday night:
Mo Lawal fought through fatigue and won the Light Heavyweight Title from an uninspired and unimpressive Gegard Mousasi who never looked the same after he got out of the first round, a round that Mousasi had been disposing of many of his opponents. 'King Mo' is a former Oklahoma State wrestling star who took Mousasi down at will and persevered to win his first title of a fledgling, MMA career where his record is now 7-0. Nashville fans were not 'King Mo' supporters, or so it seemed on TV, and I can only assume that was because they were not buying his pro wrestling shtick. Bottom line, promoters can earn money and TV ratings for fans to emotionally invest in fighters to lose much like they have for decades with pro wrestling villains.
Melendez vs. Aoki was a real clash of styles but the announcers did a nice job of describing the differences of the two fighters styles. However, after the third round the Japanese star showed no outward sense of urgency which was disappointing.
Enjoyed the natural sounds that I was privy to hear during the show which adds to the presentation. Three man booths are challenging to successfully pull off and I am not a huge fan of the three man booth for MMA fights as most trios seemingly become competitive and viewers are rarely treated to a needed 'lay out.' The refs being mic'ed up was a nice touch.
I have great respect for Dan Henderson as a world class athlete but being 39 years of age and obviously having issues with cutting so much weight had an adverse affect on the two time Olympian. Henderson had one of those nights where he simply did not have 'it' but one has to also assume that a proud man like Henderson will force himself to step back into the cage to attempt to right Saturday night's performance.
Seeing Bobby Lashley in only a suit and not in a succinct highlight back inside the cage was a mistake.
Where was the Fedor personality profile or highlight package? Isn't Fedor allegedly the baddest of the bad and if so why was his persona not enhanced on CBS? Are there issues with Fedor's 'people' or was this an oversight that saw Strikeforce's biggest, MMA, mainstream star ignored?
Hopefully, Strikeforce and CBS will take Saturday night's experiences and learn from the show that ran too long and ended with unmanaged chaos.
Bottom line is that if CBS earns a good or better TV rating within Men 18-49 years of age that some of the broadcasts blemishes will be forgiven.
On other issues...I am anxiously awaiting Monday Night Raw because it appears that the Raw crew will be unable to make it to New Jersey in time for the event if the Weather Channel is accurate in their report that air space throughout Europe is still closed. One would assume that means nothing is landing and certainly nothing is taking off until weather conditions improve. The good news is that the Smackdown crew arrived in Newark late Saturday night around 2 a.m. Eastern time so there will be plenty of available bodies to produce an entertaining, 2 hour TV show.
In essence, Monday Night Raw will take on a different feel for one night which isn't a crime.
My view on these calamities is that they are simply opportunities for talents to step up and turn head's and the Smackdown nucleus has plenty of issues established to help WWE roll into their next PPV which is Extreme Rules in Baltimore.
Legend has it that the late, great and colorful Gene Kiniski was such a talker that he was once banished from his team's own offensive huddle because 'Big Thunder' talked SO much that the quarterback couldn't get a world in edgewise to call a play. I think that any one who has ever interviewed or had the privilege to speak with the former NWA Champion and 'Canada's Greatest Athlete' will know of which I speak.

jasonboing10, say what?
For one thing, TNA (if that news is even true) is just one of many things JR is looking into for if his WWE contract situation doesn't work out. Why does he need to be so loyal to WWE? They certainly aren't loyal to him as they've essentially kicked him unceramoniously out of the announce booth.
JR clearly wants to continue to announce and if WWE would let him, he would still be doing so, but that's not what they want. So if he wants to go elsewhere if WWE feels they don't need his talents, why shouldn't he?
I would personally love to see him in TNA, somewhere he would get respect and is actually wanted on the announce team. If that's what pays the bills and makes him happy then more power to him. He doesn't owe fans like you anything. He's given his life to the wrestling business and much of it to the WWE. Now it's time for JR to do what's right for JR.
I think I sent my question to the wrong place sorry
Hey Jasonbong . Your hurt? Ashamed? Regardless of whether or not Mr. Ross is as you put it "secretly negotiating " with TNA, that is his decision only to make. The Man has a right to draw an income. If you or the universe can't get past that then tough luck
JR
i am very deeply hurt and ashamed of you about being in a secret meeting with tna about joining them
i am a huge wwe fan and i feel like your stabbing us all in the back by holding talks with tna for when your wwe contract expires on april 30th
i dont understand how you could do something like that to us the wwe universe
i thought you really had much more class than to do that
The more of your chipotle-ketchup I eat the better I like it. What is in it to make it so addictive?
Hello Mr. Ross, I can tell from reading your blogs you are a really big fan of Danny Hodge, I was wondering if you've had the chance to read Oklahoma Shooter - The Dan Hodge Story and if so would you recommended it ?
If The WWE wants it's fans to take The Draft seriously, they really need to stop these random jumps of superstars between brands. It's like they make it a point to say that only The Unified Tag Team Champions can appear on both Raw and SD, yet brand jumping seems to be o.k. when...
-Raw has 3 hour shows
-Vince McMahon allows a wrestler to appear on Raw/SD
-A G.H./G.M. invites them to be on that show
-ANY wrestler from one show invites a wrestler(s) to be on a show they aren't on.(See Bret Hart and The Hart Dynasty on Raw last week)
-Anytime after The Royal Rumble and W.M....
*It's just stupid and it needs to stop, otherwise you shouldn't even have a "Brand Extension", no?
Mr. Ross,
First off I miss you on raw, there was nothing better than listening to you and the king, on Monday night . I was watching the clip of when WCW was taking over WWE and Stone Cold was coming to save the day. Your passion and enthusiasm in that clip is what is lacked in today's wrestling. The crowd was going nuts, and the line of the night was when you said "Stone Cold is kicking the hell out of WCW".....Great stuff.....
Next , I'm 33 years old and recently went back to School to pursue my dream to become a writer for the WWE. I will graduate with a Bachelor of Film with a minor in creative writing at Bowling Green State University (Ohio) some time in 2014. I'm also taking sketch comedy writing classes from Second city theater in Chicago. Do you have any advise that would help me achieve my goal to write for the greatest show on earth, the WWE.
Thank you so much,
K.C.Bryce
U start having Thunder and Supersonics memberbilla at Jr's Barques. WM19 was at Seatle in 03. Go Thunders and Sooners
jr thank you for taking time to answer all the peoples questions. this is the best website and what a great idea to sell your products online. i wish you all the success in the world. i hope to see and hear your voice on raw again, but if we dont we know we can get your thoughts on wrestling and mma and grilling along with wonderful stories you share with us. thank you. and keep the grill on!
Mr. Ross,
Thanks for your comments on "Big Thunder" Gene Kiniski. Gene was one tough hombre and a great NWA World Champion. He held an attendance record here in Seattle for a September 1966 NWA TItle defense against Lou Thesz that held until Wrestle Mania 19! People forget that not only was he a great NWA Champion, but he was a very strong draw all around the country.
As a longtime CAC member I also want to congradulate you on your upcoming award! What an honor.
I think Mayhem was in the cage because he was one of Henderson's cornermen. I know Hendo has cornered Miller before.
Shield's corner guys came off the worst in that brawl situation, and hopefully will be fined.
I'm looking forward to the Thunder / Lakers series, it should be fun to watch! I think OKC can take a game or two from the Lakers, but the champs should win this series at the end of the day. Good times are ahead for this Thunder team. Two years from now, we may be talking LebRon vs. Durant as "the best player in the game".
anyone know the reason Richard Trionfo was fired by pwinsider?
if only there was a delivery to ireland dam i would give anything to try that jerky and sauce
