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

-Ross on Mr. Kennedy: "Sorry to year that 33 year old Mr. Kennedy was released at the end of the week by WWE. Kennedy got the old 'future endeavored' send off that has happened to many. If Kennedy can remain healthy, one would like to think that he his string of injuries is behind him, and can continue with his career in the relatively near future, many feel Kennedy has the skills to be a main eventer on a consistent basis. Kennedy is a studious guy and likely won't find it difficult to secure work. Sometimes a fresh start is good for a wrestler and I hope that's the case for Kennedy or what ever his next wrestling name will be."

Powell's POV: WWE's loss should be TNA's gain in this case. I'm looking forward to roughly 90 days from now. As Ross wrote, Kennedy (a/k/a Ken Anderson) could use a fresh start.

-Ross on Torrie Wilson: "I got a nice email a few hours ago from Torrie Wilson who is competing on the new NBC reality show, "I'm a Celebrity...Get me Out of Here" that debuts on NBC on Monday June 1. I hope all wrestling fans will be watching and more importantly VOTING for Torrie to win it all. She is a marathon runner who is in great physical condition and is much more mentally tough then perhaps her reality show peers will give her credit. Torrie has a great mind set for this irreverent competition and without question she will be the hottest celeb in the rainy jungle of Costa Rica."

Powell's POV: The show debuts Monday night and will air four nights per week until it's conclusion.

-Ross on Finlay: "Finlay has a scratched cornea from what I understand but don't expect the tough, veteran from Belfast to miss much in ring time. WWE could use more experienced hands like Finlay to help teach the young guys right from wrong inside the ropes.

Powell's POV: Ouch! I don't have any details to add, but that definitely sounds painful.

Other topics include Rey Mysterio, the late John Tolos, Trish Stratus, and the cheaper shipping costs for JR's Original Bar-B-Q Sauce (highly recommended).
