Jim Ross Talks Nudity, Punk, Striker, Cancer & Football

News

Jim Ross has posted two new blog entries at his BBQ Web site. In the first one, found here, he talks about ECW, which he says is “rapidly becoming the best one hour wrestling show on TV for my money.” Some excerpts:

Striker has the components to be an excellent antagonist. Show, bad back and all, is simply a freak of nature with a personality. I think Sandman and Sabu add to ECW a great deal and still have adequate fuel in the tank…

I hope the Extreme Strip Poker game delivers next week with all the hype it is getting. If it comes off like flatulence in church that will not be a good thing. Plus, can one be nude on basic cable??…

I am becoming a big C.M. Punk fan. Selfishly I wish Punk were on RAW. Punk is the real deal…

RVD vs. Test was excellent even though it took most of Heyman’s friends, and there aren’t many, too beat Van Dam…

Successful wrestling shows don’t have to be complex or convoluted. They don’t have to feature wrestlers attempting to be comedians and thespians in general. I think fans like “car crashes” and “competition” not bad acting or lame attempts at comedy.

In his next blog post, he talks about this week’s Oklahoma/Texas game, how it’s close to the one-year anniversary of his colon problems, and how blessed he feels he has been in his health, as well as being able to attend college football games and call RAW a year after his health scare. As always, both are a good read.
