Jim Ross comments on the WWE Draft and taping WWE 24/7 with Ric Flair and Mick Foley
Jun 22, 2008 - 11:06 AM


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

-Ross on taping a legends roundtable with Ric Flair, Mick Foley, and Tazz: "The shows that yours truly was a part of on Thursday night are going to likely be as controversial as any ever featured on the Legends Roundtable….that is if they air close to what was actually said during the three plus hour taping session. 
 
No holds barred might be a nice way to describe the marathon taping session. But a helluva lot of fun, too. I am not sure when these programs will air on WWE 24/7 but I do strongly suggest you stay tuned. Without question, for my money anyway, WWE 24/7 is the best bang for your wrestling buck out there."

Powell's POV: Ross wrote a lot about the 24/7 taping and it sounds like a fun show. He noted that Tazz filled in for the originally scheduled JBL, and that Flair told plenty of Four Horsemen stories during the shoot.

-Ross on the WWE Draft: "I swear that I don’t think that even as I write this on Saturday that the draft has been finalized. If you are like many wrestling fans, including me, and like surprises then Monday night is certainly the night for you. I would wager a case of "J.R.’S BBQ Sauce" that virtually no talent knows for sure what fate awaits them come Monday night. Indeed speculation is running rampant regarding Monday’s Annual WWE Draft but that’s all it is or can be at this point….speculation."

Powell's POV: The haggling over the draft will probably continue throughout the day on Monday. You'd think the company would have something like this planned out weeks in advance, but that's just not how Vince McMahon operates these days.

-Ross on the possibility of announcers being drafted: "I was asked by a WWE fan in the DFW Airport on Friday afternoon if I thought any of the announcers would be drafted and I answered "no" because at the end of the day does any one truly care who announces what brand and the same goes for the referees. I would be shocked to see any draft pick wasted on an announcer or a referee as WWE fans want to see major superstars change addresses and begin new rivalries along with making fresh matches."

Powell's POV: I think stating that everyone including announcers and referees are eligible is just the company's way of trying to make it seem truly unpredictable. Oh, and they create more paranoia that way, which Vince and some of the writers seem to get a kick out of.

Other topics include Flair being on edge during the 24/7 taping, the Spirit Squad, and more on the WWE Draft.
