Jim Ross comments on fellow WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura's performance as the guest host of Raw, expresses concerns over next week's guest host, Batista as a heel, Rey Mysterio injury update
Nov 24, 2009 - 10:40 AM


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

-Ross on Jesse Ventura: "Jesse Ventura did an excellent job as guest general manager and Verne Troyer will have a helluva time following the Governor. Let's hope Ol Verne stays away from any adult beverages prior to going on live as some of his TMZ moments have been classic along with other reality TV moments. Doing live TV makes things like this interesting as one truly works without a net. Plus, Verne is quite the lady's man from what I read...not that's a crime. Diva's beware except of course The Bellas.

Powell's POV: Fair concern regarding Troyer, who has made a spectacle of himself after knocking a few back on more than one occasion. How about a drinking contest between Troyer and the dad from "Little People, Big World" on Monday's show?

-Ross on Batista: "I loved that Batista decided that discretion is the better part of valor as many great antagonists have done for years. Winning all one's fights and being a large badass doesn't make one a wrestling villain. What Batista did Monday night when confronted by Kane does. Plus, we now have the opportunity to anticipate the Batista-Kane match on Friday Night Smackdown if we choose."

Powell's POV: Ross nailed it on this one. The fans will cheer Batista unless he backs down in these situations and shows some ass in the ring.

-Ross on Rey Mysterio: "It would surprise me to see Rey Mysterio back any time soon meaning sometime in 2010 but that's not 'official' so don't take it as such. Just my take on Rey's banged up body that needs medical attention."

Powell's POV: Mysterio will be going under the knife soon. He needs knee surgery that will probably keep him out of the ring for the rest of the year. Surgery sucks, but at least he'll be home for the holidays.

Other topics include FREE SHIPPING on J.R.'s BBQ order, Kofi Kingston, C.M. Punk, Sheamus, the Ventura and Vince McMahon reunion.
