JR Blog: Was Removing Kane’s Mask a Good Idea?, Chyna/WWE Negotiations & More

August 12, 2013

Jim Ross has posted a new blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights:

On past Chyna/WWE negotiations:

"Don't believe all that you read about this matter. I negotiated with Joanie but we were unable to agree on terms and she left a somewhat volatile situation which I feel was the right thing for all involved at the time. There is plenty of info online about Joanie that you can research and read. We simply could not come to a mutually agreeable contract for her to stay in WWE."

On Kane removing his mask in the past:

"I don't recall any one asking my opinion but in hindsight I'd have rather Kane stayed masked."

On what it takes to be a legend/icon in WWE:

"To be REALLY good at what one does for a LONG time."

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.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.
