Jim Ross comments on Brock Lesnar's post-fight antics at UFC 100, and former WWE star JBL running with the bulls
Jul 12, 2009 - 05:21 PM |
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights.
-Ross on Brock Lesnar's post-fight antics: "Lesnar's post match, unscripted remarks did not completely surprise me. Those that do not personally know Lesnar as do I need to understand that his level of intensity and fury is scary. Brock has said many things in private conversations that I have been a part of that would make one do a double take. He is an intimidating, emotional jock who has been known for speaking first and thinking later.
"I don't think Brock is an inherently evil person whatsoever but his level of competitiveness can be dangerous. It's like Brock 'moonsaulting' at Wrestlemania 19 in Seattle against Kurt Angle when being advised not to prior to the bout. Lesnar was told that men his size don't do top rope Moonsaults which was the wrong thing to say to the former NCAA All American and National Champion. Lesnar came close to tragically ending his athletic career that night while defying logic and doing what others told him that he could not do...
"When Lesnar, who detested the travel and emotional demands of WWE's schedule, was the most 'hated villain' on the roster he was at his happiest in sports entertainment."
Powell's POV: Good insight from J.R., who had a lot more to say about Brock and the overall UFC 100 fight card. Ross nailed it later by saying the MMA purists who despise Brock will continue to pay big money to see someone beat Brock.
-Ross on JBL: "On a side note, I received an email today from JBL who ran with the bulls earlier today in Pamplona, Spain and survived unscathed as I understand it. John send me a link to a website of a fellow who wasn't so lucky and can be viewed if you're not too squeamish at www.SanFermin.com. JBL said running with the bulls was akin to wrestling the Big Show. There is no question that John Layfield is living his life to the fullest which is damn admirable."
Powell's POV: I've never understood the appeal of running with the bulls, but JBL made it clear in a recent blog that it's a dream of is. Good for him. Different strokes for different folks.
Other topics include much more on UFC 100 including J.R.'s take on GSP vs. Thiago Alves, Dan Henderson's brutal knockout of Michael Bisping and whether the punch that followed was personal.
