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

-Ross on C.M. Punk: "Crazy email....CM Punk lost the World's Title because of a 'dress code' violation. Please, stop the pain."

Powell's POV: The story making the rounds is that Undertaker told C.M. Punk to start dressing better overseas. Punk pointed out that John Cena dresses like his character does outside the ring, and Punk offended Taker and/or WWE officials by talking back to Taker, and comparing himself to Cena. I haven't been able to verify the story, but a reputable reporter made the claim.

-Ross on Ben Roethlisberger: "ESPN surprised me with their coverage of Big Ben's guest hosting shot Monday night on Raw. The Steelers had a great time from what I could see which comes as no surprise. The Steelers QB has been a WWE fan for long time."

Powell's POV: I found it interesting that ESPN's website didn't acknowledge that Roethlisberger was hosting the show in the days leading up to his appearance. It's possible I missed it, but my guess is that they didn't want to promote anything that conflicted with their big money game last night.

-Ross on Randy Orton and John Cena: "Orton vs. Cena in an Ironman Match is my kind of party. I just wish I could help call it. I love time limits and the scoring system. Makes the contest feel more like an athletic event of which I personally like. IF this is this pair's last dance then I expect them to rock it for the duration and provide us fans with a compelling story. This match could be a great way to end this rivalry if that is the objective."

Powell's POV: Ross stressed the "if" for a reason. It might be their last match for now, but I don't think anyone really expects this to be their final match.
