Jim Ross On Samoa Joe, Possibly Returning To TV Wrestling And More

Jim Ross posted his latest blog at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights:

Samoa Joe’s response to a question about NXT at JR’s show last week:

“I find it weak that some pundits think that Samoa Joe gave a “political answer” when someone at my show in San Jose asked him if he would have any issue with starting a potential WWE career in NXT and Joe said he’d do whatever was asked of him. Is that being political or simply being a smart, team player? The best headline for some wresting sites may be to go with the “political” answer instead of giving the athlete the credit for being a guy who wants a shot and will work hard in any environment to earn that opportunity. NXT is WWE’s hottest brand at the moment in the eyes of many and it’s not like it’s ‘A’ Ball.”

Possible return to TV wrestling:

“Got another interesting opportunity presented to me today to do some more TV wrestling but it’s too early to get into the specifics but it sounded, on the surface, like a fun gig.”

His upcoming shows in Baltimore:

“Tickets are moving well, especially the VIP tickets for our next RINGSIDE with Jim Ross Show heading, for the first time to Baltimore, and the Rams Head Live venue on Saturday night May 16.
