JR Blog: Taunts IWC, Secretive Backstage Politics Reference, Turns Down Shoot Interviews

News

Jim Ross has a mid-week blog with some news and notes, here are some highlights!

on his new podcast, mentions IWC:
My venture with Podcast One begins in mid February if all goes according to plan. My show will drop on Wednesdays so it will be recorded a few days in advance to allow time for production elements to be added. I do plan on it being very interactive as I will be taking listener’s calls. We will also have a variety of guests. Plus, I will offer my personal analysis/take on some TV wrestling shows that I watch.

Should give the internet wrestling community (IWC) plenty of cannon fodder. :)

on wrestling politics
The more I read online about the daily drama in various pro wrestling organizations makes me happy that I’m not engaged full time in that world. Don’t get me wrong, I will always be a fan and support the genre but dealing with today’s athletes is a taxing, never ending saga. It was somewhat simpler in the old days but certainly far from not having issues in which to address.

on doing a shoot interview
To answer an often received question, I am NOT considering doing any “Shoot” interviews for DVD release for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I cover many of the topics one would be asked in these productions in RINGSIDE: An Evening with Jim Ross shows. Secondly, I don’t care to address ‘dirt oriented’ questions that can embarrass people’s families, etc. Lastly, the fees offered are generally low and not worth the time invested to do them.
