Jim Ross Blog: New Promotion Rumors with Toby Keith, JJ & so
more much

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with a new blog Here are some
highlights from the full blog enjoy :
- FYI...I have not had any conversations with anyone about
starting a 'new' pro wrestling promotion. I have not spoken to
Jeff Jarrett since he left WWE on a day that doesn't rank too
high on my list of fun days at work.
Some websites are irresponsibly running with the story that just
because Toby Keith and I are friends and fellow Okies who both
follow the Sooners that I'm about to do business with Toby and
Jeff Jarrett which isn't true. Toby and I had dinner at the
Sugar Bowl, he's a wrestling fan from the old days and, a
helluva entrepreneur with deep pockets. Nonetheless the reason
that we were there was to support our Sooners vs. Alabama in the
Sugar Bowl and not talk about pro wrestling.
We did talk the wrestling biz some but that's not unusual for me
in any conversation after a 40 year career within the genre. We
also talked country music, business investments, OU football and
we spent the afternoon together with ESPN's Brad Nessler who's
another wrestling fan. Yes, TNA came up a time or two but that
was really a non issue in our conversations.
I am not motivated to re-engage in the wrestling business on a
daily basis and it would take a mighty healthy offer to consider
such. The politics and paranoia that go along with today's
rasslin business isn't healthy for me to be around on a full
time basis especially at this stage of my life.
Plus, I have a specific philosophy regarding how the business
should be presented that doesn't seem to be in fashion these
days.
- My name has been linked to doing some voice overs for a couple
of international Wresting promotions who air their product,
including PPV's and DVD's' in North America, but that 's not
something that we've pursued just yet. We'll see what the future
holds on that one. Sounds interesting though.
- WWE creative must hit it out of the park tonight on the Daniel
Bryan, who's soon to be known as Daniel Wyatt based on weekend
WWE live events, and the Wyatt Family storyline. I've never seen
a talent over the last few years get 'over' to the level of
Bryan and then be booked so curiously. Hopefully, at the end of
the day, this will come full circle and please many fans but at
least Bryan is still getting quality TV minutes and his bell to
bell in ring work is virtually untouchable.
