Good ole JR is back with a mid-week blog update talking about Summerslam, Austin and much more.
On not announcing at Summerslam 2011
Obviously I would have liked to have been a part of the Summer Slam announce team but I enjoyed Tweeting throughout the show and gained about 2,000 new followers as a result. We’re now over 208,000 followers and growing.
On the future of the 3-man booth on Raw
I thought the three man announce team had a solid night in SD and it shows that we are all working hard to establish rhythm and develop chemistry. I’ve read where some think that I’m the ‘3rd wheel’ in the scenario which is somewhat insulting but motivating at the same time.
Plus, for those who are seemingly obsessed with the three man team becoming a two man team on Raw, I understand the passion but that’s not in the plans at this time. As comedian Ron White would say, “Let it go.”
On the upcoming Stone Cold Steve Austin DVD
Worked Tuesday night viewing the new Stone Cold DVD with Steve Austin and the talented WWE TV production crew. Austin’s FOUR DVD set will be in stores around the end of November and should be on shelves worldwide for the holidays. @steveaustinBSR and I did alternate commentary ala a narration on Steve’s Wrestlemania bouts vs. Bret Hart (WM13), HBK (WM15), and the Rock (WM17). Even though these matches have been on other DVDS they have never had our alternate commentary which will provide fans will a unique, inside look at the matches in both an informative and humorous, at times, manner. This was one of the most enjoyable broadcasting experiences that I’ve had in years.
