Jim Ross Blogs About Titus O'Neil Suspension, Working With NJPW And AXS, John Cena And WrestleMania
Jim Ross posted his latest blog at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights:
NJPW on AXS work:
"I had a great time in Los Angeles last week working with AXS TV and my new pro wrestling partner @JoshLBarnett on 6, New Japan Pro Wrestling shows with the first show debuting on AXS on Friday night March 4 at 9/8CT. I think that Josh and I are going to evolve quite nicely but you will be the final judge of that statement. For the most part the action we called with exceptional. I can't wait to do more. I have never been made to feel more welcomed and at home on day one than I did last week as we began our relationship with Mark Cuban's network. "
Titus O'Neil's suspension:
"The controversial suspension of Titus O'Neill by WWE last week for 'unprofessional conduct' still hs many folks scratching their head. I can't render a clear cut opinion based on the brief video clip that was floating around for a while plus I've talked to no one about the matter that would know any substantive information. I've never known Titus to be a problem and actually he's one of WWE's most willing participants when it comes to volunteer and charity work. I only wonder, in hindsight, how this matter would have been judicated if the decision regarding punishment was delayed until the next day when all parties had a night to sleep on this matter. I have heard that Titus was fined in the neighborhood of 5K for his conduct plus a 60 day suspension. One has to wonder if this punishment was also utilized to get the attention of the entire roster especially if some talents were thought to be becoming to lax in their approach to their job."
John Cena-WrestleMania:
"It seems like John Cena is being too chatty to NOT be thinking about returning to the ring at Wrestlemania Texas and if he does I'd bet some BBQ sauce that it will likely be against The Undertaker."
