Jim Ross on…
Stan Hansen: Anxious to read Stan Hansen’s book. Stan was a stud and arguably the biggest American star ever, or Dick Beyer aka Destroyer, in Japanese wrestling. Stan writes about how Watts used to send instructions to the talents via a tape recorder when Cowboy was unable to be at live events. I remember carrying that tape recorder on road trips and protecting it like it was gold. Watts was a detail freak which was one reason that his business was largely successful. Bill was a hard nosed coach, tough love type of guy.
On Hiring: For those asking how to be hired in WWE, please stop. I hire no one but our yard guy and the pool person and actually the Mrs does that. Those jobs are filled. If one isn’t smart enough to figure out how to apply for work at WWE, or any where else, perhaps they aren’t ready for a real job.
Same goes for your WWE marketing and creative ideas….let it go…I can’t help facilitate any thing in that world. If you have suggestions on BBQ Sauce, Beef Jerky, etc, let me have them.
The Better Wrestlemania HBK vs. Undertaker: Best HBK-Taker Wrestlemania match? Being totaly egocentric here, I’d say the first one because that’s the one I got to be a part of during WM25 in Houston. Both were amazing in ring stories that I’d encourage young wretlers to study to see the what the art of story telling truly is.
