Jim Ross Blogs: The MITB PPV, Batista vs. Lashley, Retirement

Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry at JrsBarBQ.com, here are the highlights…

On Who Impressed Last Night: Lots of younger, up and coming performers will get the opportunity to impress Sunday night and as I have always said most talents can’t control their minutes so I suggest that they make the most out of the time they’re afforded. I think it’s akin to playing on special teams in football. One may not get the number of snaps that they would ideally like in a game but they still have a chance to make an impact and be a game changer w/ their special teams play.

On The Elimination Chamber DVD: Emailer…Yes I saw the WWE produced “Satan’s Prison’ which is a collection of all the Elimination Chamber matches and it brought back a plethora of good memories. I especially enjoyed broadcasting the early ones because the concept was so fresh and new. One thing’s for sure, an athlete needs to be as tough as a government mule to thrive and survive inside the Chamber. I suggest that you check out the DVD.

On One Last Broadcast And His Retirement: Emailer…Yes I would like to have a ‘last broadcast’ which isn’t too unique for any broadcaster but if I don’t I sure won’t have any regrets regarding my career. It’s far exceeded my expectations. No I do not want or deserve a Flair-like retirement presentation. Those types of presentations should be strictly reserved for wrestlers in my humble opinion. Plus, I might have a few more miles in the tank I can use somewhere down the road.

On Batista vs. Lashley In MMA: I’ll believe the rumored Batista-Lashley PPV fight when I see it. Not trying to be overly pessimistic here but so much has to evolve for that fight to occur that I don’t see it as a ‘lay-up.’ If the fight does come off, I’ll certainly watch it and Lashley would be the heavy favorite.
