The latest Jim Ross blog is online on the WWE Hall of Famer’s JR’s Bar-B-Q website; you can read some excerpts below.
Ross talks about his early favorite for the 2016 Royal Rumble, The Rock’s Wrestlemania 32 announcement, Kurt Angle’s chances for the WWE Hall of Fame, and much more:
JR talks early Royal Rumble odds:
There is an early betting line on the ’16 Royal Rumble. I’m being serious. Where were all these betting lines on WWE events when I was in administration there? Probably a good thing it wasn’t around at least that I’m aware or I might have been guilty of ‘insider betting.’ BTW the favorites to win are entrant #1, go figure, and entrant #30. I’d lean toward Brock Lesnar as my favorite to win it all if he’s in it.
Can you make a valid argument that Lesnar shouldn’t be in the main event at Wrestlemania Texas?
The Rock:
Exchanged emails with The Rock while in Miami as he’s busy with a new baby girl and HBO’s ‘Ballers.’ I know of no one who seeming stays as busy as the Rock in the world of show biz. He’s a one man conglomerate who will be appearing at Wrestlemania Texas in April but I’m doubtful that he will be in a match but I hope that I’m wrong.
Kurt Angle in the WWE HOF:
I’d think that Kurt Angle going into the WWE Hall of Fame is a lead pipe cinch but when its the only question that I have. I’d love to see Kurt in a WWE retirement match and then be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame if and when WWE has the time and desire to make this matter a priority. I’d assume WWE inducts Kurt into the Hall likely before he wrestles for them in a high profile match at Wrestlemania. Simply speculating that WWE is leery of Kurt’s lingering neck issues but that’s merely my speculation.
I have no speculation that Kurt Angle isn’t a deserving WWE Hall of Famer in the future. How can that be debatable?
