Hello JR! Long time fan from back in the early 90's, WM XXVI was not the same w/o you announcing!!! Anyway have a bbq/wrestling question for you...... My brother has been a lifelong Undertaker fan, and has always wanted to see him in person, so he is getting Wrestle mania XVIII tickets from me for Christmas. Myself, my brother, and two of his friends are all very excited. We were wondering if you would consider a unique business proposition during that weekend, we wondered if we could market your business in some way in exchange for assistance w plane tickets, car rentals, anything to help defray the enormous expenses of traveling to Miami. So far, we have been able to acquire decent hotel prospects, but foresee it might be an uphill battle to fund the package as a whole. We could participate in marketing events, wear Jr's BBQ related apparel all weekend (up to, through, and after Wrestlamenia) , man booths, hold signs, hand out literature. We are very responsible adults who have a passion for this sport, we just don't have deep pockets. If you cant help us, we totally understand, but we would never get a yes if we never asked. We are available from Fri March 30 - Monday April 2, and are very responsible. None of the four of us have ever gotten into any kind of trouble, and would gladly submit to any background check you deemed necessary. Thank you for your time Mr. Ross. GO Undertaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
J.R.'s Answer:
Thanks for the offer but we"ll have to decline. Enjoy Wrestlemania nonetheless.

Good day JR. I ordered one of the "JR's Ultimate BBQ Package" from WWE Shop (available here: http://www.wweshop.com/item/jrs-ultimate-bbq-package/prJRsBarbecue/50-08792) I live in Canada, and I kid you not, when I came home from work the next day, my Mom said that there was a package that came for me, and low and behold, it was from WWE Shop! I opened the box up, and was thrilled to see all of the awesome stuff. I'm not just saying this, but the beef jerky is THE best jerky that I have tasted. I think the pepper one id my favourite so far. It's my Mom's favourite too, and she normally dosen't like peppery stuff. Also the mustard is awesome (cue The Mizs' music) It will go great on burgers, hot dogs, or even as a dipping sauce. I haven't opened the BBQ sauces or chipotle ketchup, because I have some other ones in the fridge still! And also, my Mom plans on ordering several of the bottles of the seasoning. For me, the first thing I tasted was the sweetness from the brown sugar, and then the other spices. To anyone reading this, I can't reccomend JR'S products enough. If you like to eat, get his stuff. I'd love to see the seasoning come in larger containers in the future, as well as larger packages of the jerky. Thanks JR for creating all these wonderful items, and I know that I will be ordering again!
J.R.'s Answer:
We sincerely appreciate your family's business.

Hey JR, I love your beef jerky and I've ordered well over 50 packages in total in the past couple of years. I purchased all of the new flavours to try and my shipment just arrived yesterday. I've only tried the new Slobber-Knocker Hot so far and I'm loving it. It'll probably replace Original for my future orders. Just a couple of questions regarding your product: 1. What's the proper "consistency" for your beef jerky? I've found that sometimes a pack of jerky can be a little tough to chew and then other times a pack can have some jerky that's quite soft. Also, some packages are occasionally much saltier than others. 2. Why the $2 price increase per pack of beef jerky now? A 40% price increase is quite a lot. Has the price of beef gone up? Cheers, Josh in Toronto
J.R.'s Answer:
Consistency w/ jerky is always an issue and has to do w/ the beef as the process stays the same. No idea about the salt question. That doesn't vary. Drought, lack of hay crop, etc has greatly adversely affected cost of beef. Thx for supporting us.

Hello JR, I received my order from WWEShop.com late last week, and part of it was your BBQ Sauce bundle with both flavours of sauce, the ketchup, mustard and jerky. I must say that it's all fantastic. I remeber buying your sauce at Zellers when I was younger, and it had the hat on top of the bottle :) tastes as good as I remember. We had hot dogs last night and I decided to try the Chipotle Ketchup and Main Event Mustard on mine, and boy are they fantastic! My wife loves them too and couldn't believe how good it was. The most shocking thing of all, my son who is as picky an eater as can be, absolutely loved the ketchup as well. So that there goes to show that your products are fantastic. I wish there was an easier way to get this stuff up here in Canada, but it's so good that I don't mind ordering from WWEShop. Just wanted to let you know about how my whole family loves your products and we will defintely be repeat customers! And thanks for the autographed pic as well :) Adam, Calgary
J.R.'s Answer:
We certainly appreciate your family suporting our family's efforts. Happy your loved ones enjoyed our proeucts in Calgary. Thanks.

Your beef jerky is the best I've ever had. Any chance you'll eventually sell larger bags of it? The current bags never seem to last very long!
J.R.'s Answer:
Looking into an 8 oz bag as we now do the 2.5 oz bags of Beef Jerky. We are also looking to add a flavor, likely Peppered. http://www.wweshop.com/Category/JimRoss is looking to expand our line of products so you will see many 'tweaks' going forward. Thanks for supporting our efforts.

Hello JR, Long time follower first time, yada yada yada...I had a quick question about your products. Being a good ol' "Corn Fed Country Boy" i sometimes need to hop on the occasional Healthy Diet plan. Currently I am watching my Carb intake. There are FEW quality low carb sauces and marinades in the market place right now. I was wondering if you offer any choices in that area and if not, do you plan on coming out with some "Heath Conscious" choices in the future? Thanks for all of your legendary work and i raise a pint to your future success! THS
J.R.'s Answer:
You can see the nutritional info on our site for our products but they are all carb friendly. I have found that eating more grilled chicken, turkey and fish helps, cut out dairy, try not to eat bread but wraps instead, eliminate sugar, hence why I'm not drinking alcohol at this time, but most importantly go to the gum or simply walk several days each week. Exercise is the key to dropping pounds and getting healthier.

Hello JR, Grats on your deal with WWEShop.com. It's almost as if I predicted it...it just seemed logical to me. Only problem I see at the moment is that there is no prominent link on your site telling people where to go. Plus the link on the top right that says "Go to the store" goes to a page that says access denied. Maybe your webmaster is already working on it while I type this but the sooner it's fixed the better it will be for your business. Another thing I just noticed is that in this item http://www.wweshop.com/item/jrs-bbq-package-with-signed-card/JimRoss/50-07673 the picture includes the beef jerky but in the description it is not mentioned as being part of the package. It may not be a big deal but some customers might be disappointed when they order this package and don't get any jerky unlike the picture suggests... As always good luck!
J.R.'s Answer:
We have a link displayed on the home page in the middle of the text re: our on line store closing. Thanks for the feedback.
J.R.'s Answer:
Go on line and order your Ketchup at http://www.wweshop.com/Category/JimRoss. Thanks!

Sir, Is there a way to order your sauce by the case on WWEShop.com? I was looking but didn't see that option. Your sauce is WAY too good to buy by the bottle! Thank you in advance for your time. Respectfully, Keith P.S., Thank you for the respect you always show for us troops. It means more than you know!
J.R.'s Answer:
I spoke with WWESHOP this weekend and they are looking into the case price. This new process will evolve a great deal over the next few weeks and we're open to all ideas to grow our business. Hail to our Troops!

JR, did you eat paintchips as a kid?
J.R.'s Answer:
Not that I am aware of but I heard that the late Chris Farley did. How about you?
