Jim Ross has posted his latest blog entry, which you can check out at this link. Some highlights from this entry:
- Next week we will be talking to a prominent literary agent who has multiple publishers interested in my autobiography. This would be a major undertaking that could spawn multiple books.
- I read on the 'net where Goldberg says he might be interested in performing one more pro match next year in Atlanta at WM27. I speculated on this matter several weeks ago and it is still all speculation but Goldberg going into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011 and then having a 'retirement match' seems like a viable idea to me. I know that I would want to see Bill Goldberg's last match on PPV. Again, this is pure speculation but it makes for interesting discussion. Goldberg is a 'jock' at heart and stays in good shape which would allow him to pull off a solid bout in the Georgia Dome.
- Some fans are complaining that they think that many young wrestlers are getting 'too much, too soon.' We all need to realize that it takes 3-6 years to legitimately establish a talent as a TV ratings earning, PPV selling, main eventer. The process has to start somewhere and let's not lose sight that it is a process. If I recall accurately, when we signed John Cena he headlined a Wrestlemania something like 4 years later which is extraordinary and is the exception and not the rule.
- Yes, to answer another deleted question, I did enjoy listening to Josh Mathews and Michael Cole on NXT this week. I did not get to see the show Tuesday night but I did watch it on DVR. I liked their banter and competitive nature along with their contrasting opinions. When not overdone, that sort of commentary can definitely enhance a show. I can recall some horrid WCW shows that Paul Heyman and I broadcast back in the day that we both felt were made better by our on air bickering which gave the viewer something to enjoy other than what they were being subjected to on their TV screen.
