Tuesday Update...UFC...Muchnick...Bobby Flay..Dwayne Johnson..Louisiana Memories..New Offers on their way

Posted in:

Busy week...lots to do...let's get right to it...

Enjoyed the Jim Thorpe Award Banquet Monday night at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. Tennessee's Eric Berry is a really classy kid who will be very rich in a few weeks as he is projected to easily be a top five draft pick in the NFL. I really enjoy football related activities and would likely opt to earn a living in the world of football if provided a viable opportunity. That should not come as a shock to any one who knows me or follows our blogs.

Many of my friends are working in Louisiana this week and one would suggest that is simply good timing as it relates to the enthusiasm level of the fine folks of Louisiana. There's wrestling in Baton Rouge tonight and it will be interesting to see how the fans turn out.

Years ago the Governor of Louisiana appointed a wrestling promoter for each town that Mid South promoted weekly. No other wrestling organization could legally promote in Louisiana for years which was an anti trade violation but the state politicos didn't care. It was all about the corruption within the state government at that time as the promoters were usually friends of the governor, relatives, etc and did essentially no promoting but were aggressive when seeking their percentage of the live gate. I once heard the promoter in Baton Rouge say that the reason that the "house" looked bigger than normal was because several "more fat, overweight fans were in attendance than usual."  These were the days of hard tickets IE no Ticketmaster or computerized ticketing and the temptation of cheating on the "first count" was alive and well using those old, roll tickets. Not all the promoters were bad apples but there were a few. 

I would suggest that hundreds of thousands of dollars were skimmed, bilked, misappropriated, etc during an extended period of time way back in the day in Louisiana. I think that the then Governor Edwin Edwards is or was in federal prison for his reported misdeeds. I have have some experience as a "bag man" if this wrestling thing ends up not working out for me.

It has been reported on line that I am making some sort of unadvertised appearance at the March 1 OKC event as we have been getting emails regarding such. This is all news to me and I know of absolutely nothing that is planned. We are spending considerable time and some in kind donations to help promote the WWE event but that's the extend of it. I do hope to drop by and say hello to friends prior to the event starting but will likely watch the show from home or possibly "in the back." 

I will be at JR's BBQ in Norman a good portion of that day, Monday March 1, and hope to see some of the fans there for lunch. 

Someone emailed us and asked the whereabouts of the former Ahmed Johnson. I have no idea but I do remember that Bill Watts was working in Connecticut at the time Ahmed came in and Cowboy wanted to call him "Big Buck Johnson." Whew. If any one wants to update us on the whereabouts of the the artist formerly known as Ahmed Johnson, please feel free to do so. He was a unique cat to say the least.

Have you joined us at Facebook? http://facebook.dj/jrbbq/.

Dwayne Johnson reiterated what we have said here for the longest time and that is that he isn't interested in stepping back in the ring as a wrestler but doing a speaking role and having fun on a wrestling show would be more to his liking. Bottom line, one takes Dwayne any way one can get him as he is a huge star who will pop a TV rating which is the holy grail for wrestling promoters.

Will die hards ever admit to themselves that guys like Steve Austin and Dwayne Johnson have wrestled their last match. As Larry the Cable Guy would say...."let it go!"

Great, wrestling promos of an organic and spontaneous nature still stand out when delivered with conviction and motivation. Can't say the same for campy humor but I'm also the guy who likes old, campy comedies like Stripes, Blazing Saddles, National Lampoon's Vacation, Porky's, and Hollywood Nights, etc so take that assessment for what it's worth.

The HBO 24/7 series on Jimmy Johnson and promoting this Sunday's Daytona 500 is an awesome piece of business. The wrestling business can learn from this 30 minute program. 

No...I would not do well in a "Throw Down" with Food Network's Bobby Flay as he is a true pro while I am a self trained, amateur cook who likes to some cooking, BBQ'ing, and grilling for the fun of it. Thanks for asking though.

Recipe idea...add seasoned pepper (to taste but the more the better), a hint of seasoned or sea salt, a few splashes of one's favorite liquid smoke, garlic powder to taste, and JR's Chipotle Ketchup to your hamburger meat and mix well. Then cover and put in the fridge overnight for grilling the next day. If you can't do overnight, allow it to marinate for as long as you can as it will greatly enhance the flavor. Then make your patties and grill as usual. If you really want to make these burgers special, fine chop some purple or vidalia onions and include that in the bulk burger meat. 

Emailers asked if I knew Sam Muchnick well. Not overly well but I met Mr. Muchnick on a handful of occasions with Jim Herd, former WCW V.P., and in St. Louis a couple of times without Herd. Sam got along with the wrestlers that worked for him because Sam respected them and it was reciprocal. Sam was a businessman and not "one of the boys." He made decisions largely based on the bottom line and what was good for business. Plus, from what I can ascertain Muchnick paid the wrestlers fairly and his St. Louis venue did excellent business more often than not.  It was largely considered to be an honor to be a regular or a main eventer in St. Louis for Sam Muchnick back in the day. Muchnick wielded a great deal of power and some old timers even referred to Sam as the "Meyer Lansky of wrestling" which I always found interesting and provocative.

We are working to add several new packages to the site next week. I'll keep you posted but we are excited about them and feel that they will offer great value for you and your family.

Tito Ortiz knows how to incite folks verbally which is exactly the skills necessary for an old school, wrestling manager. Know what to say and when to say it. PO people into buying tickets to see the bad guys get their ass whipped. Simple "formula" that still works. It even has a trendy name..."Talking Trash." There are perceived good guys in this world and perceived bad guys in existence and anyone that thinks otherwise is detached from reality. Some folks like cheering for the "bad guys" which is cool but it still doesn't change the fact that our basic human nature is what it is and we draw opinions as to what we like or don't like as a natural course of just being human.  

Tito vs. Chuck Liddell after the Ultimate Fighter series ends will have fans making a huge emotional investment to see Ortiz get his ass whipped. Other than Tito saying something really stupid or litigious, UFC officials should quietly encourage the "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" to keep spouting off. 

Chael Sonnet is a not a good match up for UFC middleweight king Anderson Silva as Sonnet is a wrestler and therefore a take down artist while Silva's stand up and boxing skills are stellar. I hope this fight happens down the road as Sonnet made himself relevant against Nate Marquardt at UFC 109 and the more Sonnet can provide memorable sound bytes, videos and interviews of any kind the better UFC can market what might be Silva's next victim...that is is Silva wins against Belfort which is far from a guarantee. Point is, if UFC wants to sell PPV's then guys like the Chael Sonnet's of the world have to be made into stars when they are not in the Octagon.

The Q&A Section of the site has been updated.

Thanks for stopping by and for spending some time with us here on our site. Keep those orders rolling and keep an eye out for the new specials we will be launching in the next few days.

Boomer Sooner!

J.R.

Hey JR i have long admired your ability to call a match and as i wasn't old enough to grow up with Gordon SOlie you were the voice of wrestling to the current generation so god willing your going to have a clean bill of health and the chance to entertain millions once more on Friday Night Smackdown. My question is this the WWE currently puts out quite a few dvds each year, What would good ol JR want to see come to fruition (I am dying for a Harley Race dvd). Thanks

 

Ahmed Johnson: Found!
By LEWIS CURRY - SLAM! Wrestling

One of the most personable and interesting wrestlers from the '90s, Ahmed Johnson, often comes up in "Where are they now?" sessions with fans. SLAM! Wrestling has found the answer to that question, and learned that Johnson wants to return to the spotlight.

Johnson (real name Anthony Norris) now lives in Houston, Texas and has kept himself in great shape with the help of a personal trainer, which should not be a surprise to his fans. What might surprise is that he returned to school, and received a degree in criminology from Huston-Tillotson University in Austin. During his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his daughter Nina, who is six years old, and going to the movies.

His last big run came in a sinking WCW in the late '90s to 2001, and his deal was not picked by the WWF when it bought the promotion.

During his WWF run earlier in the decade, Johnson became the first African-American to hold a WWF singles title, the Intercontinental title, taking it on July 23, 1996 from Goldust (Dustin Rhodes) at a King of the Ring pay-per-view. Although he was never defeated for the belt, he would have to forfeit the title due to a kidney injury. He was also the first Kuwait Cup champion in 1996.

"If I came back with WWE, I would want to be on Raw," Johnson told SLAM! Wrestling. He dreams of facing Brock Lesnar, who has not yet back with the promotion either.

Johnson left the WWF on his own terms. "I also have some things to explain to Vince (McMahon) about my departure a couple of years ago," Johnson said. "I just left on a Monday Night Raw without explaining things to Vince or the agents. I could not do the angle they wanted me to do that night."

The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Johnson was born in Indiana, but grew up in Auburn, Florida, Pearl River, Mississippi, and then moved to Texas. He was a natural athlete in football, basketball, wrestling, and track in high school. But he can't talk about his upbringing without unpleasant memories of family strife. "I had very abusive father, who is still alive as we speak; he beat my mom constantly and I tried to help her but he would beat me as well."

Johnson went to college at the University of Tennesee, which led to two seasons -- 1990, 1991 -- kicking around the Dallas Cowboys squad as a middle linebacker.

After his football career ended, he joined the Army as a part of the Deltas. "It went well until I beat up my captain," laughed Johnson. "We went out on patrol and he gave me orders something I thought was very unfair that was kind of cowardly. Name calling started and I did what I did to him."

After the Army, Johnson worked as lion tamer for premier trainer Dave McMillan at Circus World in Florida. He helped train lions, tiger, panthers, and leopards with McMillan. "That was very interesting man. Totally."

Following such a varied career, pro wrestling was a perfectly sane next choice.

He fell into the training school run by Steve Casey and Ivan Putski in Houston, with fellow trainees Booker T and Stevie Ray Huffman.

"Stevie Ray and I man we were tighter than tight," said Johnson. "People used to think we were brothers. We lived at the same complex at the time, we were wrestling fanatics, him moreso then me. We used to watch the old, old, old, old, old, old, NWA tapes, Mid-South tapes. Then we started to tumble, we use to climb around and wrestle and then along the streets, we were pretty tough guys, Stevie Ray and I. We kind of made a name on the streets as far as not being the ones to mess with. Ivan Putski opened up a wrestling school here in Houston. We all decided to go give a shot, Stevie Ray, Booker T., and I . We all went to the school man and give it a shot and all three of us were like top of the class as always and kind of went from there."

After their wrestling training, they all started in the Texas-based Global Wrestling Federation in 1992. Johnson was known as Moadib.

"It was not run the best. The people who ran it did not know exactly what they were doing but they had a market in Dallas, Texas that was unbelievable," Johnson said. "They could have been contenders with ECW and WCW. They really could have been something if the right people did the right things instead of money being stolen." On most nights with Global, Johnson and the boys might take home $20 if things went well. Others who got their early starts in the GWF were Scott Putski and JBL.

Up next, Johnson arrived in the Memphis-based USWA, having been seen by Terry and Dory Funk, Jr. in Dallas. Johnson found the USWA to be a "pretty good" training ground. He had no problems with USWA boss Jerry Lawler.

"There were rumors of Jerry Lawler being a racist, but he always treated me great," said Johnson. "He was a cheap ass that did not pay, but treated me very fair. ... I'd rather you not pay me and be a straight shooter with me than you be paying me a bunch and be a big liar. He was great man, he treated me great." Johnson also credits Joe Blanchard, Nitika Koloff and Paul Orndorff for various early advice in his career.

Tony Norris today

Then the WWF came calling in late 1995. Dubbed Amhed Johnson, his first pay-per-view was at Survivor Series of that year on Shawn Michaels' team. This newcomer to the big league found himself teamed with Michaels, Davey Boy Smith & Psycho Sid (Vicious), taking on Yokozuna, Owen Hart, Razor Ramon & Dean (Shane) Douglas. Michaels, Smith and Johnson were the survivors, with Amhed scoring the duke over both Hart and Yokozuna. It was quite the push.

His first major feud was with Jeff Jarrett. Johnson doesn't mince words when it comes to Double J. "Jeff Jarrett was one of the guys who had a problem, and let me know by his actions that he did not like me very much."

Then, on June 23, 1996 in Milwaukee at the Mecca Arena, Johnson pinned Goldust in 15:34 to win the Intercontinental belt.

According to Johnson, the glory of the title win was dimmed by racial tension, both from fellow wrestlers and fans.

"Rikishi and I went to the car one time and somebody had scraped my car with 'Congratulations nigger' on it. Then I was getting letters saying 'Go get your own sport, Nigger.' But that was expected, man." He also had reservation at a hotel changed to "Uncle Tom."

The title run went until he was injured by Faarooq (Ron Simmons). Upon his return to action in 1997, Johnson was set to be a key player in '97 with a heel turn and aligning with the Nation of Domination. A torn ACL injury put him out for a time, and derailed him.

NOTE: We'll have more on Amhed Johnson's career, including his time in WCW and more about a planned comeback, in the coming weeks.

J.R.

Thank you for all the wonderful memories that you've given to me and the rest of the fans.

There have been so many great territories over the years in wrestling. Northern California, Charlotte, Dallas, Minneapolis, Mid-South, etc.

If you had to start a wrestling territory from scratch, which city would you choose to hang your hat?

 

Thanks,

Jonathan f/ Chicago, IL.

 

Hi J.R.,

   That was a really interesting little anecdote about Lousiana politics/corruption as it related to wrestling back in the day.   An entire chapter on something like that would be great.   Yet another reason why you should write a book!

   And I also like the recipe you provided for hamburger.    I'll have to give it a try.

Take care,

Breckenridge

 

I saw in your Q&A section asking about brown sauce. Here is the most well known brand in the UK for it.....

http://www.hpsauce.co.uk/

It adds a kick to your food but isn't that spicy. People like it on their full English fry up. I myself usually have it on a bacon sandwich.

I hope to see you back very soon, J.R.  I would love to see you call a match with Bryan Danielson.  I really feel that, of all the stars on the indies circuit currently, he has the true talent to make it in the WWE, along with his colleague Nigel McGuinness (Desmond Wolfe)

 

Also, not to be a shill of sorts, but I have a blogspot I've been writing in that I'm about to finish up in the next few weeks.

 

It's called ECW analysis as I analyze the new ECW.  The site is:

http://ecwanalysis.blogspot.com. 

I am personally shiilling it here because I've been getting great reviews from my peers about my writing style, and I'd like to see what you had to say about it.

Hope to hear from you soon.

JR I tihnk you should not come back to wrestling in March, but should instead go in training for the Superbowl of Swine, the World Barbeque Cooking Championships in Memphis May 14-16th.  There you can throw down with the best of the best and see if you have what it takes to be a pro on the BBQ circuit. 

 

 

 

oh yea and hope your feeling better! 

 

PLEASE JR for the love of god come back for Wrestlemania and call the Bret Hart match even if thats the only match you call, PLEASEEE. I will only buy bar-b-que sauce from your site for the rest of my LIFE.
