Jim Ross comments on C.M. Punk and WWE Money in the Bank, the new Steve Austin DVD project, and the future of J.R.'s BBQ online sales

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights. To order J.R.'s BBQ products, visit WWEShop.com.

-Ross on C.M. Punk: "It is expected that CM Punk will be leaving the WWE after this Sunday's PPV in Chicago. I see no signs that MITB and CM Punk vs. John Cena won't be Punk's last match in WWE at least for the foreseeable future. I am extremely intrigued on how this matter will play out Sunday on what seems to be one of the most talked about PPV's of the year. Without question, expectations for Cena vs. Punk are extraordinarily high. It's not often when a star leaves a company literally 'white hot' but Punk is a unique guy who seems to have his mind made up that Sunday is it.....for now.  

Powell's POV: The GQ interview that Punk granted was a great read for those who haven't checked it out yet. I'm looking forward to that match more than any match this year. Yes, that includes Taker vs. Triple H, although I had no idea their match would be as good as it was at WrestleMania 27.

-Ross on Steve Austin's new DVD: "The two biggest reasons are that Steve himself will be hands on as a producer of this DVD and will be selecting the footage/content PLUS with social media as it is fans are flooding various sources with ideas and suggestions as to what they would like to see in this presentation... Talked with Austin earlier today and he's amped about this project because he's going to be able to be much more involved in it and to be able to address several matters that heretofore haven't been. I've done a three hour interview already for this DVD and will hopefully be able to help in other ways if called upon."

Powell's POV: A three-hour interview conducted by Ross with Austin? I'm sold. WWE has cranked out a lot of Austin DVDs over the years, but he's in a different place in his life and it will be fun to get his current perspective on the highs and lows of his career.

-Ross on his BBQ products: "We finalized a deal today to utilize WWEShop as our exclusive distributor for on line sales of our products. More details are being addressed on this matter but http://www.wwwshop.com/Category/JimRoss is the place to go to support our ever growing family business. We will be doing some exciting promotional things with WWEShop in the near future as we speak they ship throughout the USA and worldwide. We will likely re-open our store on this site in the future to sell items such as our personally autographed cookbooks but all the sauces, ketchup, mustard, and beef jerky on line sales will be handled by WWEShop.

Powell's POV: I'm a happy man just knowing that I can still buy the BBQ sauce, beef jerky, and the awesome Main Event Mustard somewhere online. I continue to recommend Jim Ross's BBQ products. If you haven't tried them already, then you're really missing out.
