Jim Ross Comments On Kharma’s Return, Tyson Entering WWE HOF, Road Dogg

Jim Ross has published a new blog entry on his official website with thoughts regarding the Royal Rumble. Highlights are as follows:

Mike Tyson’s entry into the WWE Hall of Fame: “WWE.com has officially announced that Mike Tyson will go into the ‘CELEBRITY WING’ of the WWE HOF which will still get some fanatics ranting about Macho Man and others who haven’t been inducted….yet. It’s like comparing BBQ Sauce to Chipotle Ketchup. Tyson was a key role player in the Attitude Era specifically his interaction with @steveaustinBSR and DX. Iron Mike is also a true, wrestling fan and grew up following WWWF and guys like Jay Strongbow among others.”

“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan appearing at the Royal Rumble: “Huge pop for Jim Duggan in St. Louis. Loved the love for hacksaw. For newbies, if you’ve never seen Hack in action for Cowboy Bill Watts in Mid South Wrestling you missed something. Duggan was positioned much differently than he was in his WWE run. What a physically dominate dude who was New York State heavyweight, high school champion and earned a full ride as an offensive lineman at SMU in Dallas. Loved his ham-like right hands Sunday night.”

Kharma appearing at the Royal Rumble: “Great to see Kharma return. That one was a big surprise for me. I love her work and am pleased to see her back. She’s an impact player and not a ‘Diva’ in the stereotypical sense. Instead Kharma is a wrestling attraction meaning that she has more longevity and will sell more tickets that being more about sizzle than steak. When we first met many, many years ago, WWE was looking for Playboy covergirls and not wrestling attractions which is why I told her, honestly BTW, that she wasn’t a ‘Diva’ but she was/is a wrestler and I love that about her.”

Road Dogg’s performance at the Royal Rumble: “Road Dogg still has ‘it.’ Great charisma and natural, Armstrong timing. Very pleased to see him in the Rumble. One of the best personal gifts one can receive is seeing someone that they truly enjoy being around get their personal life under control and turn the corner. Brian has done just that and my hats off to him. I’m very proud of Brian James.”
