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

-Ross on working with Floyd Mayweather: "Floyd Mayweather is something else. The best celeb/athlete I think the WWE has ever worked with at a Wrestlemania. The Floyd-(Big) Show match far exceeded my expectations. Floyd was so gracious to me after the event, as he signed one of the gloves he used at WM 24. He also said he would love for yours truly to call his fights, which made me feel really good."

Powell's POV: Another positive report from a WWE performer on working with Mayweather.

-Ross on calling Ric Flair's final match: This WM24 was all about the "Naitch." I love the guy, as does anyone who is Ric’s friend. I had to wipe tears from my eyes a few times during Ric’s match with HBK, who also had an emotional day on Sunday. Ric showed me a custom made Rolex that Shawn presented him to commemorate Ric’s induction into the HOF. Shawn Michaels, who has enduring respect for his boyhood idol, is a class act."

Powell's POV: A classy move on Shawn's part. That's awesome.

-Ross also teases: "Monday Night Raw is definitely 'must see TV,' if you are a fan of Ric Flair. Ric is scheduled to say his final goodbyes in the ring tonight. Tape tonight’s show….just trust me on that one."

Powell's POV: In case you missed it earlier, check out the Dot Net Exclusive: Ric Flair ceremony planned for tonight's Raw.

Other topics in J.R.'s blog include his thoughts on the WWE Title match at WrestleMania 24, the Citrus Bowl, and his Gordon Solie induction speech being cut short.
