WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another blog update, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR said about:

R-Truth’s Recent Push :“R Truth seems to have finally found a viable niche and he is one of the brighter aspects on Raw. Truth is embracing his new persona and I happen to think it fits him well.”

Randy Savage In The WWE HOF: “I have no idea if or when Randy Savage will be inducted into the WWE HOF or if he will go in with his former wife and valet, the late Miss Elizabeth. As I have said many times, it is obvious that both are deserving.”

Alex Riley Attacking The Miz: “I was impressed with the interaction between Alex Riley and The Miz Monday night on Raw as was, seemingly, the live audience in Portland. I am intrigued to see where Riley on Smackdown, I assume, and Miz, continue to evolve. Riley looked very impressive doling out the physicality on Miz on MNR.”

Jeff Hardy’s Current Situation: “I have no definitive comments to make on the “Jeff Hardy incident’ as I don’t follow TNA that closely nor do I know the accurate details of the issues at hand for Jeff other than he has had a court case pending that has seemingly dragged on forever which means the legal meter has been running, one would assume, for weeks and weeks. I like Jeff, I signed both Jeff and his brother Matt to WWE contracts, and hope that any personal issues that he may have can be resolved sooner than later and for good.”

Hulk Hogan’s Legacy: “What will Hulk Hogan’s legacy be at the end of the day? I can’t see why it won’t be excellent. If Hogan is judged on his contributions to the business of pro wrestling then it’s a no brainer. Hulk’s legacy is intact IMO as I don’t choose to judge him or anyone else by personal issues that happen in many of our lives. ”

As always, we highly recommend you check out JR’s site and sample his amazing line of BBQ products, his BBQ sauce and main event mustard can be found in the fridge at SEScoops global headquarters at all times!

Dave Meltzer of Yahoo! Sports has an article chronicling Randy Savage’s extraordinary wrestling career and it features behind-the-scenes details on how it came to an end.

Savage briefly appeared for TNA Wrestling in late 2004 to feud with Jeff Jarrett. At the December pay-per-view, Turning Point, he was scheduled to partner with Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles in a tag team match against The Kings of Wrestling—Jarrett, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Savage, who hadn’t wrestled in over four years, flaked out of the match mere minutes before the pay-per-view was to go live.

WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, who was TNA’s head booker at the time, recalled the tumultuous ordeal backstage in a quote for the article.

“The last words he said to me, five minutes before the PPV, was, ‘I can’t do this. I don’t want people to see me looking like this,'” Rhodes remembered. “Jerry [Jarrett, a TNA company co-owner] called [event producer] Keith Mitchell in, and I said, ‘Change the main event. I said to him, ‘Randy, just go home. It’s okay with me.’ That’s the last words he said to me.”

To explain the wrestling legend’s absence from the match, an angle was hastily scripted for The Kings of Wrestling to attack Savage and stuff him into the trunk of a limo, which spend off out of the arena’s parking lot. Without Savage, Styles and Hardy had to work the match by themselves. Savage ultimately appeared, albeit briefly.

After several minutes of Hardy and Styles fighting off The Kings of Wrestling, Savage, wearing a long black shirt to hide his shrunken physique, returned to the Impact! Zone and walked down to the ring. He was tagged in by Hardy moments later and pinned Jarrett after a punch to the jaw.

Savage bolted from the promotion days later at an iMPACT! taping due to a disagreement over the finish of his match at the next scheduled pay-per-view, Final Resolution. He had requested that he win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from Jeff Jarrett at the event, but was denied. He never wrestled again.

Rhodes, who lived a 20-minute drive from Savage, never saw him again following Turning Point. He compared Savage of the last five years of his life to the reclusive lifestyle of Howard Hughes.

“I could see it in his eyes … he just didn’t want to do it,” said Rhodes. “Obviously, he was financially set. Out of all of us from that era, [Ric] Flair, Hogan, Andre, myself, how many of us walked away. One.”

Randy Savage’s Influence on Wrestling:

“There were several different sides to Randy. Personal, professionally, inside the ring, outside the ring…..Randy was, in my opinion, if you want to talk about just the persona of ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, and I said this the other day. There’s three things that go into making a great performer, you gotta have your in ring ability, your verbal skills, and the it factor, and on a scale of 1-10, I think Randy was a 10 out of 10 on all of them.

“His body of work throughout his career to me really holds up and obviously the WrestleMania match, WrestleMania III… when you have a match that can still stand the test of time, that speaks volumes. Like in the music industry, sometimes there are classics that go on and on forever. To me, Randy had many of those with Steamboat. He had a great series of matches with Ultimate Warrior. I think the best match Ultimate Warrior ever had was with Randy. So as far a performer, you can’t say enough good things.”

Randy Savage’s Days In WCW:

“His notoriety far outreached the wrestling industry. For Randy to have the corporate clout so to speak to take the Slim Jim account from one organization to another, sort of speaks volumes about the brand that Macho Man became. When he went from WWF to WCW, that was huge. I believe you put Hulk (Hogan), (Ric) Flair, and Savage, I’m sure everything is debatable on the most famous wrestlers of all time but Randy is in the argument without a doubt.”

George “The Animal” Steel’s Comments That Vince McMahon Was Heartbroken When Savage Left WWE In 1994:

“I think it was a shock, and George probably knew more of the details at the time, but Randy was… if you really think about WrestleMania, and entrenching it in I guess the fabric of pop culture, look at the roles Macho Man played in the first ten. That sort of speaks for itself.

Former WWE creative writer Chris DeJoseph (a/k/a Big Dick Johnson), who worked alongside Vince McMahon from 2005 through 2010, ripped his former employer over last night’s Randy Savage tribute video on Raw. He feels it’s hypocritical that WWE would sing the Macho Man’s praises after he had been ostracized from the organization during the final years of his life.

Pointing the finger of blame to Vince McMahon, DeJoseph wrote on Twitter, “Vince is steaming watching this Macho Man package.

“Only in death Macho Man was allowed back on WWE TV. Such a shame. Such hypocrisy makes me sick.”

He continued, “I was always told never to mention the name Macho Man EVER!”

DeJoseph then recalls pitching Savage for a storyline years ago and being told to never mention his name again.

“We pitched Macho Man and then we were told never to mention his name again because it was “personal,” he wrote.

Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer reported years ago that whenever someone on the writing staff pitched an idea to McMahon about bringing Savage back to WWE, he would immediately get angry and shoot the idea down flat. One day, however, head SmackDown writer Michael Hayes pitched an angle about Savage. Instead of giving his usual angry, expletive-laden response, McMahon peered off into the distance, collected his thoughts and said, “I do not want to do business with that man.”

One of  Macho Man Randy Savage’s greatest rivals from the 1980’s, George “The Animal” Steele, was on the Busted Open radio show on Monday and shed some light on the falling out between Savage and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

There has been a ton of speculation over the years as to why Vince McMahon blackballed Savage from WWE – here’s what George Steel said about the situation:

“That’s been said a lot of different ways, and there’s been a lot of different things said that are not true necessarily.”

“I think that what happened with Randy, when his career was winding down with the WWF, Vince McMahon just loved Randy,” he continued. “After all everything Randy had done and he took him under his wing, and he wanted Randy after the ring was over with for him, he wanted him to be our spokesperson. He was traveling with Vince all the time. Randy was almost like a son, they were really tight. And then one day, we were at a TV meeting, and we got word that Randy, without calling Vince, had left and jumped to the WCW.”

“I had never seen Vince McMahon broken before, he was crushed. It hurt him big time and I don’t think he ever got over that. I think that’s the real problem to be honest with you. I heard all this other stuff that I think is garbage when it comes to Randy and relationships with daughters and all that stuff… I don’t think that’s anywhere’s close to the truth.”

Here’s a clip of Vince McMahon announcing Randy Savage’s departure from the WWE on Monday Night RAW back in 1994. Whatever transpired between Savage and McMahon behind the scenes, Vince gives him a classy sendoff:

Legendary wrestling manager Jimmy Hart appeared on the Busted Open satellite radio show on Monday and of course had a lot to say about the late “Macho Man” Randy Savage.

Here’s a recap of what Jimmy Hart said about how the Poffo family is holding up following last week’s tragedy and the complicated relationship between Randy and Hulk Hogan:

Hart on how is the Poffo family holding up in the wake of Randy’s passing?

“I think since three days since it happened, pretty darn good. Lanny’s always been great. I think what they decided to do too, because I got so many calls from everybody wondering where the funeral is going to be… I know you know it by now too, going to be cremated of course. His ashes are going to be spread on his property. Now, the reason I’m saying this, and its already out there anyhow… Lanny confirmed it too… where his dog Hercules passed away and was buried.

“I think just a little private deal is going to be for Randy’s family, I don’t think he wanted something very very big and that’s kind of the way he was. When he did charities, he never went out there and told people about it or anything and I think donations are going to be sent in in his name are going to be in Tampa for one of the children’s foundations here. I think they’re doing pretty well for it just happening three or four days ago.”

Hart on the relationship between Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan:

“I don’t think it was as bad as sometimes people make it out to be because in the wrestling business, there’s always a little angle right around the corner where people can work together and make a ton of money. I think it ended up pretty well. I think when Hulk was going in to the hospital for one of his operations with his back, Randy happened to be at the same place. He stepped in to the room, said hello to Hulk and everything else.

“At the end, everything was pretty well being put back together again. Sometimes people make more of it than what it really is sometimes but being on this end and hearing a little bit of the scuttlebutt here and there, it was almost like a big wrestling angle. Randy was great, there will only be one Macho Man ever ever, colorful and did some great things nobody ever really knew about because he was so private.”

On Monday’s RAW, WWE paid tribute to one of the most original, charismatic, legendary performers of all time, “Macho Man” Randy Savage.

Watching this footage brings back a ton of memories, it really is heartbreaking that such a colorful, larger than life figure can be taken from us like this. No matter what led to the falling out between Randy Savage and Vince McMahon all those years ago, it’s a real shame he never got the WWE homecoming that he so rightfully deserved.

There will never be another Macho Man .. Rest in peace, Randy.

WWE paid tribute to the late Randy Savage on Raw with an “In Memory of” graphic at the beginning of the show and a video package showcasing his career prior to the evening’s main event.

The package highlighted his legendary match with Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat at WrestleMania III, on-screen relationship with Miss Elizabeth, trademark mannerisms and other career milestones.

Prior to the airing of the video, Jerry Lawler said of the wrestling legend, “Savage will always be a Hall of Famer, no matter what.”

CM Punk punctuated the Savage tribute by wearing “Macho Man” style yellow boots and pink trunks during the Raw main event.

John Cena posted a fan’s remark on Twitter regarding Punk’s tribute. It reads: “pink trunks, yellow knee pads? How gay are you? I’m returning your action feagure to the store. I’ll choose @JohnCena instead.”

Cena responded, “Please don’t. It was a tribute to randy savage. It was f’n awsome. I was proud to be out there with him.”

Currently featured as one of the top stories on Yahoo.com is yesterday’s report comparing WWE wrestler death stats to similar sized samples in other fields of sports and entertainment.

Alongside an image of “Macho Man” Randy Savage, the front page headline reads “Tragic legacy of huge wrestling event” with the description noting “An alarming number of performers from 1991’s Wrestlemania VII are now dead.”

The Yahoo! Sports article notes that over 25 percent of the performers from Wrestlemania VII have died prematurely (14 deceased of 51 total), with many of the deaths being attributed to drug use.

A graph is enclosed in the article listing the deceased wrestling talents, as well as their age and cause of death. It reads:

* “Macho Man” Randy Savage (58) – heart attack

* Andre the Giant (46) – heart failure

* Mr. Perfect (44) – drug overdose

* Miss Elizabeth (42) – drug overdose

* “The British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith (39) – heart attack

* Dino Bravo (44) – gunshot

* Hawk (46) – heart attack

* Hercules (47) – heart disease

* Earthquake (42) – bladder cancer

* Big Boss Man (41) – heart attack

(The article forgot to list Sensational Sherri, who died of a drug overdose at the age of 49. This list does not include Gorilla Monsoon (62, natural causes) and Lord Alfred Hayes (76).)

By comparison, of the 44 starters to play at the Super Bowl in 1991, none have passed away. Additionally, only two of 44 professional boxers who held a major championship belt that year are deceased.

You inspired me more than this world will ever know. Enjoy.

You were a tower of power that was too sweet to be sour,

You were funky like a monkey every minute of every hour.

For you, space was the place and time distortion had to be,

And your fans here on earth wanted the madness for eternity.

You met every challenge with fists clinched and face to face,

You even fought and defeats dragons and snakes.

Flying off the ropes with an elbow drop,

There was no way you could ever be stopped.

Identifiable by your voice alone,

Even being Dubbed the macho king while you sat on your throne.

We hung on your words with interviews memorable and classic,

And we knew it was serious when you took off your glasses.

I promise not to lose you in the sands of time,

For you will always be that all time hero of mine.

To add further fuel to the widespread belief that Vince McMahon held Randy Savage in contempt during the wrestling legend’s final years, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper claimed Friday on Twitter that the multi-time world champion once slapped the WWE Chairman at a bar.

He wrote, “Randy slapped Vince in a bar…End of that story!!”

The WWE Hall of Famer was writing stories on Savage following his passing earlier in the day.

Former WWE talent Sean “X-Pac” Waltman, however, doesn’t believe that their alleged animosity is due to the bar incident in question. He wrote on Twitter in response to a fan bringing up the allegation: “I respectfully disagree with Roddy. Not that it didn’t happen, but it’s not where the heat came from.”

There is a long-standing internet rumor regarding an alleged incident between Savage and Stephanie McMahon that was said to have occurred several years ago, therefore explaining Vince’s animosity towards him.

“You say, ‘I know this guy. I know Macho Man Randy Savage.’ He was part of that breed. We lost a good one… He was a recluse, almost. Whatever he was doing, he wanted that privacy. Yeah, he was out of the picture for 10 years, but he didn’t want to be in the picture.

The article is available here.

— FoxNews.com has posted a slideshow gallery showcasing two dozen deceased professional wrestlers including Randy Savage, Chris Benoit, Miss Elizabeth, Umaga and Giant Gonzalez, among others.

— Hulk Hogan posted a video sharing his thoughts on Randy Savage, who died in an automobile accident on Friday in Seminole, Florida.

“I feel horrible about the ten years that he wouldn’t respond, or he had no communication. This was a tough one.”

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross wrote a really nice article over at JRsBarBQ.com about the life and career of the legendary “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Here are some of the highlights of what JR said about Savage:

“‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage was a legit star in the world of pro wrestling and one of the most famous wrestlers of any era.”

“In 1985 Savage roared into the WWE and his star was hung prominently for the entire world to see and did it ever shine brightly!”

“Randy Savage is arguably one of the top 2-3 wrestlers that helped establish the WWE as the dominate promotion of its kind in the world. Savage deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as Andre, Hulk, Piper, etc.”

“Unpredictability and breaking molds is a marketable trait and without question ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage was one of the most marketable, unforgettable persona’s to ever grace the squared circle.”

“In my over four decades in the business, I have never encountered anyone who I perceived was as intense, 24X7, as ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage. He was a gifted athlete,  he played minor league baseball a handful of years, and brought artful athleticism and raw reality to his profession.”

“One never had to guess where they stood with Savage and he never had any issues expressing himself. He was, seemingly, always on edge or, perhaps more specifically, on point. Randy carried himself as one not to be trifled with and as a man who had great passion for his profession and unmatched intensity.”

“Fans of the genre of pro wrestling lost one of the most famous and skilled performers of all time this morning in Tampa when the former WWE Champion apparently had a heart attack while driving his vehicle with his wife of one year who was the sole passenger. “
