WWE's Jim Ross comments on Torrie Wilson's release, Gregory Helms bar incident, Legends of WrestleMania game

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

-Ross on Torrie Wilson being released by WWE: "It was not really a major surprise that lovely Torrie Wilson was released from the WWE this week, as Torrie’s chronic back issues were becoming problematic. Torrie has had an outstanding run in the business and came along in a timely fashion and had some really nice years financially with WCW and WWE. Torrie was a tomboy at heart and was much more athletic than many fans realized."

Powell's POV: Ross goes on to put over Torrie in a big way. He seems very fond of her and had nothing but kind things to say about working with her.

-Ross on Gregory Helms showing restraint in the recent bar incident: "Gregory 'Hurricane' Helms did the smart thing by not over reacting to a negative situation that occurred in, what I understand, a sports bar after 1 a.m. recently. Gregory is a very bright young man who is still on the mend, but he used common sense in not getting involved in any physicality, even though the other guy probably deserved to have his ass kicked."

Powell's POV: It's hard to disagree with that logic. Helms did the right thing by showing restraint.

-Ross on the Legends of WrestleMania video game: "I did not solely create the idea of the WWE Legends Video Game, but thru the Legend’s Program that I did help launch, the video game concept was an idea I floated around the WWE about 10 years ago. It was akin to always wondering what it would be like for, say, Roger Clemens pitching to Mickey Mantle in a baseball video game. Now wrestling fans will be able to book some amazing dream matches with many of the greats that will be featured on the Legends Video Game.

Powell's POV: I don't care whether Ross created the game, it's a hell of an idea. I realize the Legends of Wrestling series has had some success, but this title will do even better because of the names and he brands involved. If they approach it right and include some of the current big names and the biggest names from the past, I believe this will be WWE's highest selling game.
