– Below are highlights from Jim Ross’ latest blog over on jrsbarbq.com:
Doing a shoot interview:
“An emailer asked me if I would ever do a ‘shoot’ interview? I’ve been approached several times but the money, motivation, and everything else about them doesn’t work for me at this stage of my life. Why sell my stories for a ham and egger payday when I can write my own book and tell the story as I see fit and not how someone else wants to edit and market it?”
Former WWE star Mike Knox:
A Twitter follower asked me about former WWE grappler Mike Knox. I always liked Knox and felt like he had ‘something.’ I’m not sure why he was released. I haven’t heard any thing about Mike in a long while but hope that he’s healthy and happy. Nice guy with solid athleticism which is a commodity for such a big guy.
Snooki on RAW:
Lots of old school wrestling fans are squealing like a pig stuck under a gate w/ the announcement that Jersey Shore’s Snooki will be the guest host of an upcoming Monday Night Raw. Obviously, WWE is simply trying to get her appearance noticed in outside media outlets which is timely with WM27 getting closer. It’s a PR move folks so I wouldn’t make any more of it than that. Snooki’s time on MNR likely will be of the ‘cup of coffee’ variety but will also get TMZ-like exposure that reaches non wrestling fans.
