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

-Ross on Monday's WWE Raw: "Got it confirmed Friday that I had to be in Green Bay for the commercial free Monday Night Raw, the first under 'new ownership' of Donald Trump. I have no idea why I need to be there or what Todd Grisham and I are going to do but it is what it is."

Powell's POV: WWE postponed a Smackdown/ECW house show, so I assume it's all hands on deck for Monday's commercial-free broadcast.

-Ross on the pay-per-view name change: "Why did the "Great American Bash" get its name changed to simply 'The Bash?' That one's easy, to make it more Globally friendly."

Powell's POV: That was always my assumption, but it's nice to have official clarification.

-Ross on Goldberg: "Goldberg has been a hot topic lately regarding Bill making a return to the ring. I haven't spoken to the former Tulsa Edison football star in a long while but I think the wrestling ship has sailed for Goldberg. Bill was never a huge fan but with that said perhaps a huge payday for a one off event might entice the MMA aficionado to step back in the ring. My money is on Billy NOT getting back in a wrestling ring if forced to make a call."

Powell's POV: He's been out of the wrestling spotlight for so long that I'm not sure whether he'd be a good investment for WWE.

-Ross on Sid Vicious: "Same thing goes for Psycho Sid as many folks ask if he will ever return to WWE. I haven't a clue but it would seem if Sid was going to return to WWE that he would have done so by now. However, I am blessed to not be in the talent relations department any longer so I don't know what those types of plans are as a rule. Now if you have a BBQ question, I'm in."

Powell's POV: I haven't heard any Sid rumors recently. There was a time when he seemed to be spreading the rumor that WWE was interested in his services, but I've never heard the same from WWE sources.

Other topics include the first Raw with the "new owner," WWE trading cards, C.M. Punk, the Mid South tape library, an update on Gerald Brisco, and more.
