Jim Ross Talks Emma’s Arrest, Ronda Rousey In WWE And More

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with a new blog on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights from this entry:

– This Tuesday part one of my two part interview with Kurt Angle drops at podcastone.com at 9 pm eastern time which I’m thinking will get many folks talking. This interview gets a little ‘stiff’ at times. If you’re looking for BS and lame discussion this won’t be the show for you.

– Yes, I’d love to see Ronda Rousey make an appearance at WM31 even though I know it’s a long shot at very best. Ronda could be in someone’s corner, a ref, or even compete with a female talent like Natalya or AJ Lee, for example, but please no intergender matches which anyone with a modicum of common sense can’t and won’t take seriously. Rousey is the hottest star today in UFC and is going to make a big splash in the film business sooner than later with multiple films in the can.

– WWE has postponed the taping of Tough Enough, according to Internet reports, until October from July. This had an impact on some projects that Steve Austin and I were going to do together which is unfortunate. Nonetheless we will circle our wagons and release more info when it’s timely.

– Does any one else feel that this unfortunate incident with Emma has been blown somewhat out of proportion? Not condoning it but it’s not exactly like she committed a felony. Should she be punished? Of course, but is it a headline making story on the IWC? Not in my opinion. Emma has received a valuable second chance that she should do all that she can to make the most of.
