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

-Ross comments on the Ric Flair situation: "First of all, please make sure you understand that there is no one in the business that I have had more fun with or that I respect more for being the greatest in-ring performer of all time than I do Ric Flair... 'The Champ' signed with an agency to handle his bookings. This should be a good thing. However, what Ric Flair needs is full time management on a on going basis and not just some one to negotiate a fee and book Ric to go somewhere and sign his name. Ric needs some one to help protect Ric from Ric. 
 
"The incidents of the past few days have troubled me. Seeing my dear friend with a nasty, black eye as a result of a still somewhat unexplained incident involving his youngest daughter and, allegedly, her boyfriend.  Bad publicity soon followed the incident that included Ric's own daughter get tasered by the police. This is not a good deal any way one slice's it. Yeah, it might be great cannon fodder for a reality show but is that a good thing? Perhaps "Naitch" should ask "The Hulkster" about that one."

Powell's POV: Ross had a lot more to say about the Flair situation in his blog. Likewise, I'll have more to say about it in my blog later today.

-Ross on Justin Credible: "Wise ass, Internet, wrestling scribes making light of Justin Credible working at an Olive Garden Restaurant should be ashamed of themselves. There is damn sure nothing wrong with earning an honest day's work no matter what any one chooses to do for a living. I heard this same crap from friends and relatives when I first got in the wrestling business."

Powell's POV: Amen. I made a similar statement in Dot Net Daily on Wednesday. The former ECW Champion is going to culinary school and needs a job that provides medical insurance for his family. Shame on him for going to school, working a job in a related field, and taking care of his family.

-Ross on the Honk-A-Meter: "I love the Honk-A- Meter and would love to see some interaction down the road between the Honky Tonk Man and Mr. Unibrow himself Santino Marella who's damn near too entertaining to dislike as an antagonist. 

Powell's POV: Come back, Honky!
