Jim Ross posted a new blog over on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some of the highlights:

- The gentleman who wrote and displayed the "J.R. is Overrated" sign that was shown on Raw Monday night emailed our Q&A section of the site and I responded to him. You can check out the email and my response in their entirety in the Q&A section. He's from the UK, says he has a Masters Degree, and seemed to be protesting the "Michael Cole backlash" as he put it. I did not know that there was a "Michael Cole backlash" but that may be another case of "there you are" as my Dad used to say.

- For the record, I don't have a burning desire right now, while addressing my present health issues, to get back on weekly TV whatsoever. I am much more focused on the medical tests that I will undergo tomorrow which are the results of previous tests done a week or so ago. Yes sir, I'm ready for this little journey to end and to be 100% ready to rock....and that will happen.

- The WWE Hall of Fame class for 2010 seems to be garnering more interest as our email flow gets stronger. Lots of speculation that the "Ultimate Warrior" will be inducted this year. I have no clue but the fact that "Warrior" lives in Phoenix, the site of WM26, being a significant reason as to why makes zero sense to me. Either the man deserves to be introduced or he doesn't no matter his zip code. I personally feel the former Blade Runner is deserving and just because the guy is considered "controversial" should not exclude him from any accolade. Warrior's accomplishments and contributions to the business are what counts and hearing Warrior's acceptance speech live and in person would be classic and likely a "Wrestlemania Moment."

- Rowdy Roddy Piper will no doubt be at the top of his game Monday night in Madison Square Garden when he hosts Monday Night Raw. I know that Hot Rod considers "The Garden" hallowed ground, as most of us veterans do, and who knows how many more times the WWE Hall of Famer will be in such a key role in this arena? I expect all sort of Survivor Series oriented fireworks in NYC Monday evening.

Roddy Piper is in talks with WWE about guest hosting RAW in a few weeks. The Wrestling Observer notes that Piper joked, "I have to let people know I’m still alive." Piper says the day the rumors came out about him being ill with cancer, his daughter was at school and his son was at the gym hearing the stories and were scared because they couldn't get a hold of him.

From: WrestleScoop.com

The Gillespie Agency is expected to release a statement on Mick Foley, similar to the one they did for Ric Flair, around the first or second of September with information on how Mick Foley can be booked for various appearances and things since he will be done with WWE. For all purposes, Foley is done with WWE. Most people within WWE expect Foley to be 100% finished with the company now. The Gillespie Agency represents Ric Flair, Mick Foley and Roddy Piper, among others.

Haven't had a chance to say much about the latest WWE DVD - Nature Boy Ric Flair - The Definitive Collection, but here is my take on the set that was released about two weeks ago. I think it's a pretty solid collection, with my favorite part being the first disc, which is about a two hour breakdown of Flair's HOF career.

Put time aside to watch the entire documentary in one sitting, as it's easy to enjoy the rise of Flair from the days of being chubby trying to find himself early in his career to basically becoming the reborn version of "The Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers. Flair found himself to the point where he was able to turn himself around early in his career, and took "The Nature Boy" character to new heights.

It also has some great background about his time in WCW, mostly dealing with the run with the Four Horseman and then after things fell apart there was a lot about how the company basically used him as a whipping boy for the last few years of his time there, and he talked a lot about how out of control things were at the very end.

The WWE highlights are also en tact, with his legacy leading all the way up to the end of his time in the ring to the eventual retirement match with Shawn Michaels at WM 24. Lots of good backstage stuff that you'll never see anywhere else. They also have on the second disc (I believe that's the disc it's on) the final night on RAW after WM 24 when the entire roster gave him a "Thank you Ric" chant. They also show off the camera stuff where Taker and Vince McMahon come out the ring, stuff they didn't show on TV on USA Network that night.

I'm not that big into watching old matches that I've seen before, but I will say that some of the Flair vs Ricky Steamboat stuff on the discs is priceless. The match with Kerry Von Erich is also one you have to watch again. I also enjoyed the 1991 match between Ric and his good friend, Roddy Piper, which was Flair's first match at Madison Square Garden.

Bottom line, if your a Flair fan, this is a must, or just a wrestling fan in general, you should pick this up. The first disc I think is worth the $20-$25 you'll find this for at most stores. The rest is just solid wrestling that you'll love to pop in now and again for fun.

Preview: The Morning After
June 2, 2008

While the Superstars who participated in One Night Stand last night are licking their wounds from the most Extreme pay-per-view in WWE history, everyone else is eagerly awaiting more details on Mr. McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania. The WWE Chairman has promised to give more details on the giveaway on Monday Night Raw, including how you can win $1 million from Mr. McMahon himself. The Chairman has also scheduled a press conference for Tuesday afternoon, discussing the giveaway.

One person who is already a winner is Triple H, who successfully defended his WWE Championship against Randy Orton, but at great cost to their bodies. With both Superstars severely battered from their Last Man Standing Match, will the Legend Killer even be capable of rising again to compete against The Game?

Also at One Night Stand, John Cena defeated JBL in a First Blood Match, causing the Longhorn Loudmouth to bleed from the mouth after a brutal match. Will the self-made millionaire let his rivalry with Cena fall by the wayside after this defeat? While JBL had a bloody mouth to tend, Shawn Michaels was injured much more seriously, as he was literally unable to walk away from his Stretcher Match with Batista. HBK has been injured before, necessitating extended recovery time spent away from WWE. What, if anything, will we see from The Showstopper on Raw, and how will he react to having his show stopped by The Animal?

Santino Marella has an upcoming match with Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s Cousin Sal on SmackDown. But as explained exclusively on WWE Mobile on AT&T, the Braggadocios Italian Superstar has something special in store for Sal’s training partner, WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper on Raw this week. What could Marella be planning for the living legend?

And in just three short weeks, on a special three-hour Monday Night Raw, the WWE Draft will take place. All Superstars, all Divas, and all announcers from all three brands will be eligible. Where will your favorite Superstars end up, and how will it affect Monday Night Raw?

For the answers to all these questions and the chance to win $1 million from the Chairman as part of Mr. McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania, be sure to tune in to WWE Monday Night Raw at 9/8 CT only on the USA Network.
