Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights.

-Ross on WWE wrestlers not making it to the Montreal house show on Friday: "Several WWE wrestlers did not make it to Montreal Friday night due to travel issues. I don’t know the details of this calamity, other than when weather hits some of the major airline hubs that Mother Nature usually gets her hand raised. I am flying to Toronto via Dallas and am keeping my fingers crossed that I have no travel issues, but if I do at least I have all day Sunday to arrive in TO and we don’t go on the air until 9 p.m. eastern time Monday night. Better safe than sorry. The King arrives in TO on Monday after wrestling in 4 independent events the past few days."

-Ross on Santino Marella's DUI arrest last week: "The recent DUI charge levied by Tampa police against Santino Marella backs up my late father’s proclamation that 'nothing good ever happens after midnight.' No one is exempt from making a mistake as we are all human. I know, I have made my fair share, but this misstep should be a great lesson for the young talents just getting their careers started in the biz.

"It’s like the sign that reads, 'Only serious applicant’s need apply,' as it relates to those young people trying to make it to prime time in wrestling where the big money awaits those that master their craft. The days of halfassing it, not taking the process seriously, and not becoming a consummate professional are likely over for those that want to main eventPPVs , etc. In the old days, a guy could be a pain in the ass or a problem in one territory and go to work in another territory for the proverbial fresh start. Things aren’t that way any longer."

Other topics include the Kentucky Derby horse that came through for J.R., Ron Simmons, and wrestlers who are struggling financially.
