WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently updated his official blog, commenting on a number of current news stories and topics from the wrestling world. Below are some of the highlights.
On the Jimmy Snuka situation: “The on going whispers within the wrestling business of the 32 year old, alleged murder of his then lady friend by Jimmy ‘Super Fly’ Snuka has finally resulted in an indictment of 3rd degree murder for the WWE Hall of Fame member. Snuka was one of the greatest attractions of all time in WWE and was arguably one of WWE’s most marketable stars after finding equal success in the territory era of wrestling and in Japan, as well. It will be interesting to see how this case proceeds as the 72 year old Snuka wa recently diagnosed with stomach cancer and still takes autograph/personal appearance dates to make ends meet. Hopefully this matter will finally be resolved so that both families, Snuka’s and the deceased, can move on with their lives and find closure and a measure of peace. Let the justice system do as it was designed to do.”
On Braun Strowman: “Braun Stoman is an infringing persona who needs ample protection until he gains more experience. It’s easy to see that he’s a little ‘tight’ and that’s to be expected. He’s getting a nice break and obviously he wants to make he most of it but he will have to relax and rely more on those around him and his own work ethic and instincts more to get better and certainly to enjoy the journey. I’d address his facials right away. In any event he’s an impressive looking son of a gun and seems to fit the Wyatt’s well. I still think that Luke Harper is grossly underutilized and is one of the company’s most valuable villains. Hopefully Harper won’t become the Freebird Buddy Roberts of the Wyatt’s IE he’s the one who drops most of the falls in their tag matches or in singles. BTW Buddy Roberts was a marvelous worker.”
On his autobiography: “We are just about ready to present several sample chapters of our autobiography to various literary agents. The book is progressing nicely and we still hope to have it on shelves by the first half of 2016. Fingers crossed. Between Scott Williams, Paul O’Brien and your’s truly, we have been rocking right along.”
