Jim Ross Blogs On HBK/’Taker Retirement, Ric Flair’s Return, Foley

Jim Ross has a new blog up, here are the highlights:

On HBK and Undertaker Retirement Rumors: There are NO plans for EITHER the Undertaker or Shawn Michaels to retire any time soon. Stop the pain and please stop the emails about this matter. When either man does decide to say adiós there will be a HUGE deal made of it. Both men will be back in action in 2009 and no I don’t have the exact date and likely no one does as we speak.

On Mick Foley: Yes, I am still friends with Mick Foley even though he wrestles in TNA and as a matter of fact Mick stopped by J.R.’s Family BBQ along with several of his friends Thursday and enjoyed some great food. I did tell him that I was shocked that he had a salad with his “Slobber-Knocker” three meat combo. After visiting with Mrs J.R. and me on Thursday, Mick got to catch up with WWE HOF’er Terry Funk in Amarillo on Friday.

On Ric Flair: Yes I think Ric Flair will wrestle again but I don’t know if it will be for WWE. Ric is getting offers that involve “serious money” as my late father would say which Ric likely won’t be able to turn down. Ric has said publically that he pays over $20K per month in alimony so the man has to stay pretty damn busy to keep his legally bound commitments. Nonetheless it is great to see “Naitch” back on TV and this Monday night should be no exception. There will never be another like him.

On His Position With the Company: Some emails and internet reports have speculated that I am going to be angry for having to tape WWE Superstars matches on Mondays because I will miss some OU football games. Wrong again Oliver Stone diciples….the Sooners play on Saturdays and like last year I do not plan on missing a game, home or away this season. It’s weird how many emails we receive or how many links to other sites others send me where people have the ability to read my mind and declare my moods. Lately I have been described in a variety of moods ranging from “rage” about the Monday schedule, “still angry” over not being on Raw, to having “no self respect” because I continue to go to work to provide for my family in spite of how these folks perceive that I am treated. Wow. These are the types of emails or internet posts that allow casual wrestling fans the cannon fodder to improperly stereotype ALL, die hard wrestling fans as blithering idiots when we know that simply isn’t true.
