Jim Ross Blogs On TNA Getting New TV Deal, If Brock Lesnar Will Return To UFC, Hardyz Podcast
Jim Ross posted his latest blog at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights:
TNA getting a new TV deal:
"Congrats to @ImpactWrestling for securing a new cable TV home beginning in January and partnering with Destination America TV owned by Discovery Communications. I'd expect TNA to be able to provide more programming throughout the year for this network. I will admit that I've not watched a great deal of programming on this network but I easily found it on my cable provider which is Cox Communications here in Oklahoma. If wrestling fans remain as they have been over the years they will find the network and support Impact Wrestling which I plan to do. Why? Because I'm a wrestling fan and many of my friends are employed there. When the show debuts it will find it's place on my weekly DVR list."
If Brock Lesnar will return to the UFC:
"If you listen to my podcast you know that I've often times mentioned how big a fan of Brock Lesnar that I am to the degree that I'm not sure that Brock isn't the the most gifted athlete that WWE has ever signed but that he was also a smart businessman and a competitive, alpha male in his daily life. With those things said, I also said I wouldn't be surprised to see Brock return to UFC now that his health issues are behind him. Lesnar used the same reasoning to leave WWE the first time to try out for the Minnesota Vikings. He's a competitor who loves challenges along with a nice, fat pay check. With the Vikings the pay check wasn't his primary motivator but instead it was the challenge of making a NFL team after not playing football since high school in Webster, South Dakota. If Brock is presently undecided on what he's going to do, it leaves WWE in a quandary as it relates to the centerpiece of their company, the WWE World Title. I would not be shocked to see Brock return to the UFC while he's still young and healthy enough to compete at the highest level. If that decision is imminent, it certainly could make the Royal Rumble even more interesting. Interesting days lie ahead for WWE and their primary championship."
