Jim Ross on Steve Austin hosting WWE Raw, the latest WWE Hall of Famer, provides a major update on his own contractual status
Mar 15, 2010 - 04:11 PM


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

-Ross on Steve Austin: "I talked with Steve this weekend and he was really excited about being back on Raw and feeling that live audience, adrenaline rush that one experiences. I cannot name any wrestler who better connected with their audience than did Stone Cold Steve Austin and I've seen a few in my day. I even think Steve was going down from LA to San Diego on Sunday, he's still old school, to be ready to rock the house Monday night. Obviously, WWE will be promoting the film 'Damage' starring Stone Cold that will be out on DVD on March 23 which is only 8 days from now."

Powell's POV: It will be interesting to see just how much hell Austin can raise on the PG version of Raw. I'm looking forward to seeing "Stone Cold" again, and I hope WWE has a special night planned with one of their greatest stars returning.

-Ross on WWE Hall of Famer Gorgeous George: "Gorgeous George set the trend for 100's of wrestlers that would follow him into the business with his over the top, flamboyant behavior that drew attention to the man with the platinum blond locks. During his matches, George cheated to gain unfair advantages in a manner that has been repeated countless times within the world of pro wrestling and still works today when properly executed. The 'cowardly villain' persona was truly perfected by Gorgeous George.

Powell's POV: George was well before my time, but I've watched footage of his act over the years. This is long overdue, and J.R. had a lot more to say about George in his actual blog.

-Ross on his contractual status: "I will be signing another contract extension this week with WWE to allow us to get past Wrestlemania and to give us more time to finalize our newest agreement which will hopefully see me remaining with WWE for the long term future. At least, that's the goal for all involved. I'm going into this negotiation with a positive frame of mind and hopeful that all will work out to everyone's mutual happiness at the end of the day."

Powell's POV: Ross's deal is on the verge of expiring (or has already) since he signed his last 90-day extension in mid-December. I'm not sure what is holding up the two sides from striking a lengthy deal, but it sounds like they are working toward making that happen.

Other topics include more on Stone Cold, more on George, NFL talk, and an ESPN documentary.
