JR Blog: Ryback Coming Into His Own, Appreciation Night, Punk, More

Jim Ross is back with a new blog over on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights:

- I have to tell you that the award that WWE presented me was the nicest thing that I've ever been bestowed including my 2007 WWE Hall of Fame ring. The "Voice of WWE' engraving brought me to tears I'm not ashamed to say.

- The segment that @CMPunk and I were involved in, of course along with the irrepressible @HeymanHustle Paul Heyman, was the highest rated quarter hour of the three hour broadcast which is a tribute to the WWE Champion and his evil sidekick.

- Ryback is just starting to come into his own. I got a tweet from a teacher that said his students were chanting "Feed Me More" prior to their lunch at school recently. Ryback is a unique talent who will hopefully carve out his niche much like other power and strength guys have over the years which takes a little more time and perseverance than many traditional talents. Ryback's exposure Monday night was timely for him and his progression.

- Ricardo Rodriguez is an underrated asset for WWE in my eyes. Rodriguez 'gets it' and will hopefully end up being a bigger star in WWE than what some fans perhaps currently perceive him.
