Jim Ross comments on Bobby Lashley’s departure from WWE and a possible match with Brock Lesnar

Jim updated the Q&A section of JRsbarbq.com.. The following are among the highlights.

-Ross on whether Vince McMahon would bring in an orchestra for WrestleMania: “How in the blue hell would I know (the answer) to that question? I mean really, how? Mr. McMahon likes it best when I don’t have any lengthy conversations with him and I do my best to accommodate his wishes.

Powell’s POV: Good answer.

-Ross on why Bobby Lashley was released: Lashley wanted out and no one can be forced to stay if they don’t want to be there. This is a better question for Bobby to answer.

Powell’s POV: Unfortunately, there is speculation that Lashley signed a confidentiality agreement as part of his release.

-Ross on whether he knows where Smackdown will land: “No, sir, but it won’t go homeless.”

Powell’s POV: J.R. either wrote some of his responses before today or he missed the press release. Smackdown struck a deal with MyNetworkTV.

-On a possible Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar MMA match: “Don’t think that can’t happen. Is it a long shot? Possibly. But a smart promoter is going to keep this match in the back of their mind if both athletes get to the top level of MMA.”

Ross also comments on the rumors of Owen Hart’s ghost haunting Kemper Arena, Undertaker not taking part in verbal tributes to late coworkers, Ricky Steamboat’s Hall of Fame chances.
