Jim Ross has posted his latest blog on his BBQ site at this link: http://www.jrsbarbq.com/2008/04/02/371/.

 

Some highlights:

 

RIC FLAIR: I hope many of you took my advise and recorded Monday Night Raw as Ric Flair’s Farewell was a timeless piece of business. Emotional and personal issues are what hooked many of us to the product, as kids, and the closing moments of RAW was as emotionally filled as any thing I can recall in years….perhaps ever. Ric has a real roller coaster of a weekend emotionally but was much more wound up and nervous for the Hall of Fame ceremony than he was for Sunday’s WM24 match. Ric was always wound tight before a big match, going all the way back to the 80s, when he used to come to the Mid South Wrestling territory. I spent several hours with Ric and his family from Thursday thru Monday night and "Naitch" seemed to be more nervous over giving his speech than wrestling, what would become his last match. 

 

FLOYD MAYWEATHER:  Floyd Mayweather created many fans within the WWE as a result of his performance at WM24. Fans will never know how hard Floyd worked to prepare for WM24 and how hell-bent he was to make his in-ring business exceedeveryone’s expectations, and it did.  The Big Show also rose to the occasion and the standing "O" that Show received Monday night was well earned. Show may be more popular now than at any other time since he came to the WWE. Floyd presenting yours truly with one of the gloves he wore in the WM24 fight, autographed. It will be hanging in our new restaurant in Moore, Oklahoma in a few weeks. Floyd now turns his attention to his September fight with Oscar De LaHoya.

 

TNA: Lots of TNA/Wrestlemania stories coming out of Orlando, as if it there was a big "wrestling war" going on, which is absurd. Talents were asked not to fraternize, which I think in hindsight was much to do about not much.TNA apparently showing Robbie McAllister at the TNA TV show on Thursday night was not a classy thing to do, as McAllister was sent home as a result of it and his status is unknown to me at this time. Two wrongs do not make a right, McAllister should never have gone to the show and TNA should never have put another wrestler’s job in jeopardy. Not real smart on either’s part, in my view. 

 

Ross also lists the live gate for Wrestlemania at $5,854,590 and comments "Not bad for a rasslin show."
