JR Speaks on Ric Flair’s New Reality Show, Bill Watts/WWE

November 14, 2008

Jim Ross has updated his blog once again over at JrsBarBQ.com. Below are some selected highlights:

-Ross on a phone call he received from Ric Flair: “Ric Flair left me a message this week while I was in the UK and sounded upbeat and in a great mood. He had just finished shooting a pilot for a reality show that producers are interested in and he said the TV people were a little overwhelmed with what they saw but in a good way. It was probably just another, regular day/night with the ‘Naitch’ and friends.”

-Ross on a new WWE Legends Roundtable panelist: “Cowboy Bill Watts is set to be a panelist on the next round of the WWE Legends Roundtables to be produced in December. Watts is an intelligent and well spoken individual and was a major player in the wrestling business first as a main event wrestler in many successful territories and then as the owner of a viable territory, Mid South Wrestling which morphed into the UWF. Watts also had short stints in Turner’s WCW and in the WWE.”
