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

-Ross on Jack Brisco's funeral: "I wonder why other wrestlers who live in the Tampa area did not attend the funeral and show their respect to a great man who was so instrumental in helping many stars get their start?"

Twill's Two Cents: Not everyone can go to every funeral, but JR was obviously shaking his head at some of the people in the Florida area who elected not to attend.

-Ross on his job status: "If I get asked one more time when I'm going back to work at WWE, I think my head will explode. I appreciate everyone's concern and support but the answer to that question hasn't changed in months. My career will take whatever direction it's meant to take when contract negotiations commence. One never knows how that process will go until it begins. I do expect it to go well."

Twill's Two Cents: Jason and I have mentioned on the Dot Net Weekly audio show that JR's current contract should expire before WrestleMania, so Ross will be a very popular free agent soon. It is worth mentioning that Ross did not name WWE in his answer.

-Ross on Florida Championship Wrestling: "FCW is a great facility and it seems the staff there is doing a super job. I saw several young talents who seemingly have the opportunity to become stars someday if they study their craft and devote ample time to getting better on a daily basis."

Twill's Two Cents: Who would know better about developmental talent than JR? He was responsible for the roster that was alive and well during and after the Attitude Era.

Other topics include why Ric Flair missed the Jack Brisco funeral, his health, and Bob Cook.
