WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted yet another blog on his JR’s BBQ website, you can check out the highlights here:
On reports that Lesnar is contractually exempt from WWE’s Wellness Policy:
“Many critics of this matter have no idea what Lesnar’s contract states nor the full understanding of the Wellness Policy in general. Please do not construe this as me eluding to the fact that I enough PED usage even in an entertainment entity. I don’t. Talents don’t need them but the narcissistic nature of many pro wrestlers always will rear its ugly head when it comes to how they look and the short cuts some talents take to achieve an unnatural appearance.”
On TNA’s booking fees for Bobby Lashley:
“Saw where TNA wants to charge promoters $6K for Bobby Lashley to appear at selected events which eliminates the vast majority of promoters from consideration. This is a classic case of negotiating a talent out of extra paydays when they are not booked. I’m in favor of keeping talents busy and earning new money. Asking $6K per appearance, if that is accurate, essentially discourages promoters from booking a great talent like Bobby Lashley therefore prohibiting him from earning extra money at these smaller budgeted events.”
