Jim Ross admits he's not a fan of one of the next WWE Raw guest hosts, comments on the Jeff Hardy DVD, and provides an update on his own health

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights.

-Ross on future WWE Raw guest host Mark Cuban: "Speaking of Guest GM's on Raw, I am pleased that I will not be on the air in Dallas when Dallas Mavs owner Mark Cuban will be the guest GM in early December and be forced to have to say the obligatory 'I love Mark Cuban' or 'Mark Cuban is a great guest GM.' Cuban may well hit a home run and I hope for the show's sake that he does. Cuban is without question an entertaining personality who loves the soundbyte, sports world and getting on referees during NBA games but he also tried to kill OKC's chances of getting an NBA franchise. The NBA's OKC Thunder helps the community in which I live and they do great things within the community for many, under privileged youngsters."

Powell's POV: I wonder if Cuban is to blame for Minnesota not having an NBA team. What's that? There is an NBA team in Minnesota? Really? Even so, Cuban is still annoying.

-Ross on Jeff Hardy's new DVD: The Jeff Hardy DVD comes out next week, a three disc set, and I am anxious to see the completed product. I sat for a long while being interviewed about Jeff and was extremely candid. I am anxious to see how many of my comments actually made the DVD. I expect this DVD to be excellent. Jeff Hardy is and always will be one of my favorite wrestlers. And no, I have no idea if or when he might return to WWE but Jeff Hardy is a star."

Powell's POV: WWE was wise to have this on the market before Christmas. It should be a big seller if they promote it properly. Part of me is surprised they didn't get it out before Black Friday.

-Ross on his own health: "It looks as if it will be 2010 before my future, broadcasting plans are addressed in more detail due to on going health issues. After recently being diagnosed with borderline diabetes, I have drastically altered my diet and my attendance at Happy Hours. Plus, I'm on the treadmill at our local gym several days a week. It's as if I had to be 'scared straight' before I would do more things that were good for my long term health. "

Powell's POV: I guess the good news is that J.R. gets to enjoy the holiday season at home. Hey, the timing could be worse. Ross had a little more to say about his health, so be sure to check it out. As always, I only take a few of the highlights and I encourage you to use the link at the top of the page to read the entire blog. Don't forget that I also highly recommend the Original and Chipotle BBQ sauces that are available in his online store.

Other topics include Sheamus getting a shot at the WWE Championship, J.R.'s pick for best WWE broadcast team in history, and the latest WWE Legend's Roundtable topic (here's hoping Vince McMahon watches this one closely).
