Jim Ross Speaks On Jeff Hardy, Raw, Impact & More

– WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated his blog today at www.jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights:

On Bret Hart
The chemistry and magic between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart still exists after all these years. It’s another illustration that “personal issues” are the life’s blood of the wrestling business. This particular “personal issue” has been simmering for 12 years and I still felt like an emotionally invested fan watching it.

The dialog between HBK and the Hitman sounded so natural that I thought I was eavesdropping on two old rivals’ conversation. They were simply being themselves. Their handshake made the night complete for me but remember that I lived through the debacle of ‘97 and was just a little immersed in it and spent many, many hours “talking wrestlers off the ledge” so to speak for hours after the controversial incident.

The McMahon-Bret confrontation was well done especially planting the seed early and keeping me hooked until the end of the show for the payoff plus adding some spice to the dish in between.

On Sheamus
WWE has done a nice job of making Sheamus a relevant, WWE champion who is making many fans look upon the Irishman as the WWE Champ first and a relative newcomer second. I’ve written about it dozens of times here and that is that new talents have to get in the main event mix and if they distinguish themselves then the company has done well. If they don’t distinguish themselves then one merely provides an opportunity for the next hungry, young guy.

Stu Hart Into The 2010 Hall of Fame
The apparent inclusion of Stu Hart being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for 2010 was really cool and certainly deserved. Mr. McMahon isn’t the kind of man that would go back on his word regarding this matter, is he? Stay tuned.

Jeff Hardy Appearing On Impact
It surprised me to see Jeff Hardy on Spike TV Monday night which I am sure will get some fans talking and critics/pundits asking a great deal of questions. I’m a Jeff Hardy fan and I wish him well. Jeff had a great tenure in WWE and considering that I signed him and his brother Matt to their first WWE contracts I will always consider the Hardy brothers as being special. As Hall of Fame Coach Barry Switzer once told me, “Once you recruit a player you recruit them for life.”

Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles
Former WWE Champion Kurt Angle, another one of the guys that I signed to their first WWE contract, and A.J. Styles had a truly excellent wrestling match that I got glimpses of Monday night.

On “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair
Knowing how much Ric Flair still enjoys wrestling I was not shocked to see Ric on another channel Monday night. The WWE gave Ric the greatest send-off/retirement presentation that I have ever witnessed but nonetheless “Naitch” has wrestling running through his veins and he’s going lace ‘em up until he simply can’t do it any longer. Ric Flair has been my friend for about 30 years and I wish him well in what ever he does in his career.
