Jim Ross has posted his latest blog entry, which you can check out by clicking here ( http://www.jrsbarbq.com/blog/flair-controverseyjbl-newstaker-retirement-rumorsjushin-ligerlesnarthe-dark-side-chris-adams). Some highlights from this entry:
- I guess there was a small controversy about Ric Flair attending an autograph session Saturday in Jersey. Ric is now making the appearance as previously committed as I understand it. I heard that Ric's agent was not pleased Ric would be asked to sign several requests from fans who could not be there but instead paid the fees and send items for signing. I say what the hell. Sign the items, earn the payday and call it a day. Agents can over think things and many of them do on a regular basis. Ric is very amenable to his fans and I can virtually assure you this "issue" was not of Ric's doing. Fortunately, all's well that ends well Saturday in New Jersey.
- JBL has been in the eye of the storm this week as far as 'rasslin gossip is concerned which sort of goes with the turf these days. Nonetheless I am impressed with how much weight John has lost over the past several months and I do know that his Mamajuana Energy Drink has been an important aspect of his weight loss which is getting close to a whopping 100 pounds. Obviously the product works and John has told me that taking it has helped him maintain his workouts which are a must to go along with common sense eating.
- We are getting a ton of emails about the retirement of The Undertaker. I have heard NOTHING about this matter and would bet a black hat and a slab of ribs that 'Taker wrestles a few more years. Plus, for the record I don't ever see the Undertaker losing at a Wrestlemania no matter who he wrestles.
- The pending Chris Adams' documentary could really be interesting. Adams had great talent, a superb look, unique verbal skills but also had a pronounced dark side. Drugs and alcohol abuse did Adams no favors nor did him working in World Class Wrestling when it was the wild west and talents had little discipline and it was party like a rock star virtually every night. Adams seemed to have a propensity of beating women and that is never cool. Chris' temper got him some prison time as I recall for assaulting a flight attendant and he died of a gun shot wound.
- I see where Jushin Liger is having a match to celebrate his 20th anniversary of being in the business. I vividly remember meeting Liger for the first time while I was in WCW. He was and I am sure still is a class act. Liger was the Rey Mysterio of Japan for those of you that may not be familiar with the talented, high flier. Liger's matches with Brian Pillman are some of my best memories of that period of my career. Their aerial moves were on the money and not over done and all had meaning. Flying for the hell of it reeks of a lack of knowledge of the art of wrestling and both "Thunder" and "Flying Brian" fully understood the true meaning of wrestling and entertaining the fans.
