Jim Ross has updated his BBQ website blog, primarily with his thoughts on the Monday Night Raw 15th Anniversary Special.
On the special itself: Being a part of the big, three hour Raw last Monday night was fun and was much akin to attending a family reunion of sorts. I enjoyed visiting with all the former WWE Superstars that were on hand and catching up with their lives and what they are doing these days.
On RVD, and also on Paul Heyman: RVD looked well rested and healthy, even though his time in the ring was shorter than some of the King’s relationships and my diets. I would not read anything into RVD’s cameo on the Anniversary Raw as it relates to Rob returning to the WWE full time, but one should never say never. I think it would be great for RVD to be back in the WWE, but time will tell if and when Rob may be ready to return to the road on a full or part time basis. Be that as it may, it was a nice surprise to see RVD back in a WWE ring. How cool would it have been if Paul Heyman had joined RVD at ringside, even though some of the “old timers” might have enjoyed Happy Heyman being in the ring as a participant in the battle royal, but I assume that statement would hold true for many of us.
On Hulk Hogan: Hulk Hogan seemed to have a good visit with his old traveling buddies and peers. The Hulkster looked a little tired backstage, but he had just flown in from LA on a private aircraft with Eric Bischoff and RVD, who all traveled from the west coast, where Hogan is taping the return of the “American Gladiator,” which premieres on NBC in January. (Back in the day, Rico Constantino was quite a hit on the old American Gladiator program and since leaving the WWE Rico is back as a police officer in Vegas, as I understand it.)
On Trish and Lita: Trish and Lita both looked super and were still the same two beautiful and intelligent young women I signed to WWE contracts years ago. Both seem happy with their new lives, but their return to full time WWE road work is highly unlikely if you are keeping score at home. Lita is doing projects with her band and Trish is apparently going to open a Yoga studio in the Toronto area from what I understand. Both are still hotter than donut grease.
On The Rock's non-appearance at the special: ... The Rock ... could not be with us Monday due to scheduling issues. I know that there will be some who can’t wait to jump up on their invisible soap boxes, hiding behind phony screen names and who will damn the Rock for not being in Bridgeport Monday night. It is what it is, folks, and the Rock doesn’t pretend to have an agenda nor does he make promises he cannot keep. Wrestling is and always will be in the Rock’s blood, but he has another job now that in which he has immersed himself.
On Sunny: Sunny looked wonderful Monday and I met her new boyfriend, who seemed like a nice guy. Sunny was in really great physical condition, as many of you saw, even though she told me she still had “8 pounds to lose” which made me envious. Sunny has endured a great deal over the years with a lifestyle that not even she would necessarily suggest for all members of the family, but I am so happy to say that she has turned her life around and is healthy and happy. I sincerely wish her continued success and sobriety. Bottom line is that Sunny was the Diva that started it all as it relates to the Diva biz in the WWE, and no, Moolah was not a Diva… Moolah was a wrestler… and Sunny should be given credit for her contributions to the WWE. I hope to see her again down the road and with her only being 35, I think; she has plenty of fuel left in her tank if the WWE ever decided to bring her back for a full time or re-occurring role. At least it’s something to think about.
