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

-Ross on Jeff Hardy vs. C.M. Punk: "I hope to see both men (Jeff Hardy and C.M. Punk) Tuesday night in Phoenix where both are expected to be as they were in no condition after this match Sunday in LA to want to visit with any one. Nonetheless, I am so proud of both men and what they did to entertain the fans in arguably the best one on one TLC match I can personally recall. So, do I think that we've seen the last of the Jeff-Punk rivalry? I don't know for sure but I "think" not and more specifcially I 'hope' not. I just have a feeling that Tuesday night in Phoenix will equate to must see TV Friday night on MyNetworkTV for Smackdown viewers."

Powell's POV:: Well, there you have it. It's official that Hardy is scheduled to be in Phoenix on Tuesday for the WWE Smackdown tapings. Of course, it remains to be seen how long he'll stick around after that.

-Ross on Undertaker's return: "Of course, the surprise return of The Undertaker was HUGE and seemed to add the exclamation point to what seemed to me to be a surprisingly strong Summerslam that my lovely wife thought rivaled Wrestlemania. Nothing at Summerslam could have topped the Undertaker-HBK match for me based on my long history with both me but from a female viewers standpoint I can easily see where the Mrs is coming from.

Powell's POV: I'm with J.R. on the Taker vs. HBK match, but Punk vs. Hardy gave it a hell of an effort. That match combined with Taker's return made for some truly memorable SummerSlam moments.

-Ross on the Food Network appearance: "I had a 5 a.m. wake up call Sunday morning to be ready to roll tape at approximately 6 a.m. for the Food Network's 'Dinner Impossible' program that will air, as I understand it, in November. I will keep every one posted as to the exact date. I had a great time stepping sort of out of the wrestling world and was assigned to make multiple gallons of BBQ Sauce which I did and that everyone seemed to love.

The Miz was a riot on this shoot and we were also joined later in the morning by Gail Kim who sure looks nice in a kitchen and I mean that in a positive way. Stephanie McMahon and The Big Show also joined in the non kitchen festivites so WWE was well represented. Chef Robert Irvine is a hoot to work with and is a former cook with the British Royal Navy."


Powell's POV: Sounds like it will be a fun show. I'll be sure to pass along updates on when the show will air, as well.

Other topics include the BIG SALE on J.R.'s Bar-B-Q (I love the original sauce and the beef jerky), and much more on WWE SummerSlam.
