Jim Ross has a new blog now available on his official website. Below are the highlights:
- I will be doing more THQ video game voice overs in a couple of weeks here in Norman. As I said the storylines in this game are more involved that I can recall in the past but the over lying issue of the game is the increased physicality of it. I think some mistake a PG TV rating as factoring out physicality and that's not the case in my view but it does eliminate HLA type moments which shouldn't offend any true wrestling fan. I am anxious to see if the THQ trend continues with the next collection of copy.
- Some friends have asked me about where Friday Night Smackdown will be produced during the week leading into WM25 and I still don't know. My assumption is that SD will be produced down in Houston which adds another live event for the fans who travel to Houston for WM25 week to attend. Sounds like a cool event for Axxess. Hopefully that matter will be made known to us all sooner than later so every one can plan.
- Yours truly exchanged emails with Dwayne Johnson at the Super Bowl and we wanted to hook up but his schedule and mine just would not allow it. He is really excited about his next film "Return to Witch Mountain" and the movie trailer looks great. Dwayne has been wise beyond his years in the movie roles that he has selected all of which will seemingly have long shelf lives and be family friendly for years to come. I hope to hook up with the former Miami Hurricane this fall when Oklahoma travels to Miami to play "The U." I am profoundly proud of Dwayne's film success and I'm happy to say that, as it relates to our relationship and that's all that concerns me personally, success hasn't changed the "Great One" one bit.
- I know that my writing isn't Hemingway-esque but apparently I have not made myself clear enough to some who want to work for the WWE in a variety of areas. For creative writing or other corporate roles, you must go through WWE Human Resources unless you have a personal contact already with the company that might be able to set you up with an interview. Then you will still have to go through Human Resources. Secondly if you are looking for work as a wrestler, referee or manager (good luck on that one) you need to send a tape of your work and a resume to Florida Championship Wrestling or visit their school in Tampa. Getting work in the WWE is a daunting task that requires a great deal of determination but the channels by which to facilitate these jobs are what they are. I read with interest many of your emails about desperately wanting to work with the WWE and I truly wish I could help you but they have their employment policies in tact just like any other large, publically traded company.
- We are often asked about any Wrestlemania surprises on tap for Houston. First of all and to be totally honest with you I don't know of any at this time and I really don't want to know. I, too, love surprises which are becoming rare in today's pro wrestling world. Many folks who know insider info feel compelled to leak the info to outside sources for reasons beyond me. Can you provide an answer as to why someone would reveal the "end of the movie" to those planning on seeing the "movie" but as of yet have not? Nonetheless if I knew of any surprises why would I reveal them and ruin them for the fans? I think it goes without saying that the WWE will pull out all the stops to make WM25 a success including a surprise or two here and there.
- The highlight of Friday Night Smackdown was the two segment main event featuring HHH/Undertaker vs. Edge/Big Show that closed the broadcast. Hopefully other talents of the brand will rise up and make sure that they are noticed no matter their role on the show. I read an interview with Ric Flair recently where he said that the best advice he was given as a young wrestler was to take is 3-4-5 minutes of TV time and show every one why he was special. Trust me, it can be done and every second a talent is provided on TV is important no matter the talent's role. It just seems to me, and this is a personal opinion, that some talents sense of urgency need to increase.
