Jim Ross has a new blog up at JrsBarBQ.com, here are the highlights:
On JBL not being at the 10th Anniversary of Smackdown: JBL was unavailable to attend the 10 year SD show but he’s doing great in business and life in general. John is playing golf this weekend at Pebble Beach…not bad for a country boy from West Texas.
On Sunday’s Hell in a Cell PPV: Hell in a Cell this Sunday will be an adventure with three main events inside the Cell. I’m intriged as to how they will all have their own identity and look forward to the PPV. Plus, we finally get to see Morrison vs. Ziggler, which has show stealing potential.
On the latest Legends Roundtable: The Legend’s Roundtable taping Wednesday night went super! Joey Styles proved to be a great host. JJ Dillon was awesome telling some amazing stories of managing the Horsemen and several others including the Mongolian Stomper. Jimmy Garvin and Michael Hayes had some cool Freebird stories and some of them might actually make air. The wrestling manager show is highlighted by several interesting stories going all the way back to the Bobby Davis days of managing Nature Boy Buddy Rogers and Slve Girl Moolah. We all also came up with our own Mt. Rushmore of wrestling managers.
Notes on the Legends Roundtable: Lots of talk at the Roundtable about the amazing Bobby Heenan who was virtually a lock for best manager ever by our panel. He got my vote. Gary Hart was talked about as being one of the best and most underrated managers ever. An “evil genius.” One of my personal favorites was General Scandor Akbar. He was my first traveling partner and taught me so much about the biz. Ak had his series of matches with the legendary Bruno Sammartino taken away due to Stan Hansen breaking Bruno’s neck way back in the day.
