Jim Ross has made a few new entries in the blog section of his website over at JrsBarBq.com. Below are some highlights:
Ross on his WWE Halloween costume: “After arriving at the San Diego Sports Arena, boy do they need a new facility in that beautiful city, Tazz and I were told that we would be in costume for the Smackdown that airs Friday night which is Halloween. We weren’t given any advance warning other than that and our costumes were already provided for us, as two Navy men.
“Tazz’s costume ‘might’ have fit Hornswoggle as Tazz wears a size 56 coat and a 3X top. My Navy whites had to be altered significantly as well but we made it work. Tazz had to go with plan ‘B’ in camouflage fatigues and reminded me of Sgt. Hulka from the classic film “Stripes.” The bottom line is that we made it work. We were asked to go along with the Halloween theme, look somewhat ridiculous and do our best to create an entertaining atmosphere for the night. On that goal we kicked ass.”
-Ross on Friday’s Smackdown: “Actually this was a helluva Smackdown when it comes to some really nice wrestling especially the six-man tag featuring the Hardy Brothers and Rey Mysterio, dressed in San Diego Charger blue and gold, vs. Kane, Mark Henry, and the snake bit MVP. This might have been the best match on WWE TV all week and I would like to think that the announcing helped enhance it somewhat as well.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
