Who do you think will become the next 'first time' world champion? I would say guys like Morrison, MVP and DiBiase and now perhaps Ziggler and Kofi.
Impossible to forecast but all the men you mentioned would be on most people's short list.
hey, J.R. I was wondering of all the college football teams around the country (other than your beloved Oklahoma Sooners) which teams would you like to see play in their respective stadiums? A sort of bucket list of who you would like to see/experience? Also I wondered your thoughts on Carolina's mustard based bbq sauce? Thanks and I wish you the speediest of recoveries. Sean Malin
I saw Nebraska Saturday night in Lincoln and that was huge for me even though the Sooners played poorly and lost. The experience at Memorial Stadium was an amazing memory. Seeing Alabama play in Tuscaloosa was really cool too. I'd love to see an Army-Navy game and a game at West Point. Oregon has a great stadium I'd like to visit. Anxious to see Neyland Stadium some day. Going to a game at Notre Dame would be fun too.
What is your dream match to call?
The next one. Seriously, at this stage of the game, I've been privileged to broadcast so many great one's that I don't know what is left that will top what I've already done. That's why I say simply the next one.
Hey JR, Do you think you'll ever write another cookbook?? Also, what do you think about Dr. Jerry Graham for the 2010 HOF class? He was from Phoenix AZ so he's be a good fit this year.
No on the cookbook at this time. We've written two. Not sure how I feel about Dr. Jerry Graham but I feel that he would be a long shot. I'm happy that the selection process isn't on my plate.
Hey Jr, just a quick suggestion for you. I know you have previously said that you were taking prednizone for your Bells Palsy, but have your doc's considered solumedrol? It is a more powerful steroid with fewer side effects. I am a psychologist, and we have good results with it dealing with any problems around the brain/head like MS, cerebral palsy, strokes, etc. If the prednizone is moving too slowly or doesn't seem to be getting you the results you are wanting, you might want to bring it up to your docs. Point them to a study in the fall's New England Journal of Medicine, because they may not know that it is now recommended for facial paralysis. Hope this helps and please know that you are in our prayers.
Thanks for the info. Wow another highly educated individual visiting JR's website....I am impressed and flattered. At least it's not another deleted item of someone wanting Steve Austin's Cell # or someone pledging their undying love to Mickie James. Seriously, thanks for the tip.
J.R. Not a question, but a comment. Just wanted to let you know that I went to the ECW/SUPERSTARS/SMACKDOWN taping in Providence last night, November 3. I am a big fan of your work and made a sign that read: "GET WELL SOON, JR." I was sitting in section 7, directly opposite the TV camera and noticed my sign on the Titantron several times. Unless, for some reason, my sign is edited out before Smackdown/Superstars air this week, you will be able to notice the sign. I hope you're doing well and I hope you're back soon. Shawn
How cool is that?! I really appreciate that and will anxiously await SD even more. It makes one feel good to stay relevant and on folks' minds. How knows, perhaps you will start a trend at upcoming TV events. I'm for it! Thanks, again. Very nice. Thanks, Shawn.
Hi J.R., Hope your recovery is quick, but enjoy the "time off" as much as you can, as I'm sure we'll see you back at the announce desk weekly real soon. I have two questions: First, when a match comes outside the ring and the wrestlers make use of (and inevitably destroy) the announce desk, are you notified beforehand? Or do you just see two big 300 pounders coming your way and get the heck outta dodge? Next, what do you think WWE could do to strengthen the ECW brand? My strategy would be to have a superstar "take ownership" of the brand much the way The Rock did with SD when it launched. I think since a top talent like Christian is idling at ECW already, he could help the brand, and by doing so, help himself. Your thoughts?
When I see large bodies coming my way at ringside I don't have to be told to beware. Common sense kicks in or it should. Comparing Rock and Christian is a stretch to me and I love Christian. I do think Christian will end up on SD or Raw in time.
I just saw you on an episode of the Family Feud from 1992 on youtube, where WCW was against the woman of GLOW. Any fond memories of the appearance? It looked like you guys had fun.
Being up all night the night before the taping with Brian Pillman and Mrs. Stallone being a little slow on the trigger which made me look better. :) Plus hearing the late Ray Combs tell some salacious Bob Barker stories.
You mentioned Mean Gene's restaurant in your blog. Where is Mean Gene's Burgers and Pizza located?
Not sure but they have multiple locales and I'm sure that you can find out on the internet.
Hi JR, hope your recovery is going well and hope to see you back on the A show Smackdown real soon. My question is about commentators at house shows. I remember a few years back I went to WWA event. One thing I found good about the show was Live commentators. They got heat out of the fans and made the show fell much more real, like watching a Smackdown on TV. I think this could be good for WWE as it could give wrestlers a chance to improve their mike skills and Vince may find sum great new commentators (not that Smackdown need any). What are your toughts on this. Also do live audinenes here your commentry at Raw and Smackdown tapings. Thanks JR and again I Hope you get better soon. Graham, Dublin.
It wouldn't be something that would interest me but it might work if done correctly and not come off as overbearing or as providing more clutter. The TV event live audience does not hear the commentary.
