Jim Ross Comments On The WWE Talent Releases

Jim Ross posted his latest blog at JRSBBQ.com. Here are a couple of highlights:
Today’s WWE releases:

“Days like these are exactly the reason that I have stressed, and often times been criticized, for preaching that all wrestling personnel have a viable plan B. It’s not fair to one’s family to not have a plan B especially in the volatile world of pro wrestling, pro sports and entertainment, in general.

“The demise of the territories rears it’s ugly and much missed head again on days such as this.

“For the young talents that are now non WWE talents, your dreams can still come true if that’s the path with which you choose to commit. One thing is for sure….if one turns in their jersey then the game is over…your time has run out…and it’s time to explore other options that hopefully are more structured and less volatile. In other words, don’t quit if being in the business still resonates in your heart. By no means should any one cease attempting to live their dreams simply because they are no longer working in WWE or any other company for that matter.”

His latest podcast with Ted Dibiase Sr.:

“My conversation with the @MDMTedDiBiase that’s up now at podcastone.com and the Ross Report is getting amazing feedback. Not only do we talk wrestling history and the territories but we also talk about today’s product. If you really are a student of the game I strongly suggest that you download this podcast as it’s FREE and is one of the best that we’ve done. Ted worked with the most well known, well respected and controversial promoters. bookers, etc in the business and our word association regarding all of them is big time.”
