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

J.R.'s Latest Q&A

Hello, Jim Ross. Do you think WWE should actively recognize the varying importance/success of WWE Hall of Fame inductees? For example, they could be divided into 'First Ballot' Hall of Famers and 'Revered Alumni', or an idea to that effect. And also, they could continue to recognize who were the "Celebrity" inductees. This way, it would mean more for someone such as Shawn Michaels to be inducted as a First Ballot Hall of Famer; rather than simply a Hall of Famer, which is shared by people with far less success within the professional wrestling industry. Again, thank-you for answering any of my questions which you do.

Wrestling

I think that most fans care about the WWE HOF and I also feel that it is an untapped brand within WWE that could mean much more than it currently does.

Do you dislike Fedor? You never say anything good about him expect that he's a "hard hitting Russian". LOL. Concerning his bad English...I'm not sure about that. He's an intelligent guy who studied in Russia. I don't want to imply anything, but I can't really believe that has no good English.

Sports

He's a great fighter without question, and it's too bad that he's out with injuries for 4-6 months. I feel he can speak much better English than he wants people to believe. I have great respect for Fedor's athletic skills. I think he should have singed with UFC which is only a personal opinion. It doesn't make Fedor a bad guy because he didn't.

Dear Mr. Ross, I just wanted to thank you for answering my questions about your mustard coming out in 2010 (I will be placing an order for some) and about what you might have been doing for a living if you hadn't become THE BEST play-by-play man in the WWE today. I greatly appreciate it. Anyway, another question just came to me. Being a die-hard wrestling fan, I have a wide assortment of wrestling memorabilia to include autographed 8X10s of you and Triple H. My question is do you collect any kind of memorabilia; and if so, what would you say is your most favorite piece outside of your own personal rewards? Thank you for your time and may you have a great and blessed day. Sincerely, Franklin

We have tons of memorabilia and much of the wrestling stuff is in our BBQ joint in Norman. I also collect Mickey Mantle and John Wayne memorabilia. We have enough one of a kind, game worn wrestling swag to fill 2-3 stores. I have Stone Cold's boots that he wore when he won his first title at Wrestlemania along with the last pair of Ric Flair's red, patent leather wrestling boots just to name a few of the items we value.

Hi JR, I was the guy asking about purchasing the cookbook from a non US location. I would like it mailed to Twickenham which is in Middlesex, England. I appreciate of course there will be a shipping fee which is cool. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? many thanks Adam.

Wrestling

We currently don't ship to the UK because of the hassles of our two governments. However, if you can find out what it would cost to ship the book which weights about 16 ounces, we will do what we can to address the matter. What is your mailing zip code?

Hey J.R. Now I only have a statement. In a response to this last question I saw, you wrote " I don't get too wrapped up in things that I can't control these days. It's not healthy." Maybe it is just because I am a Clinical Psychologist, but I really love the way you put that. The sauce is very good too. I can't say I wouldn't love to watch you come back and take the chair with Striker though. I think you two would make a great team. (I think he is too quick for Grisham )

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has been giving out various awards in wrestling for over 20 years now. Did you know that you have won "Best Wrestling Announcer of the Year" 15 out of the last 27 years? Your name totally dominates this list. They should give you trophies or something each year. Matt Striker won in 2008 though. You two should have a match at WrestleMania to determine the true best. That was a joke. Have a good one.

Wrestling

I'm familiar with winning a few Wrestling Observers Awards of which I feel very good about because fans vote on them. I have zero interest in wrestling Striker or any one else in reference to your joke.
