- In his latest JRSBARBQ.com blog Jim Ross expressed his worry of Reid Flair’s recent arrest. “Reid Flair, the youngest son of “The Nature Boy” was arrested again last week for another DUI and apparently in possession of heroin,” said Ross.

“The drunk driving matter is a serious issue but the heroin business takes this matter into an entirely new level of severity. Reid needs extensive, professional help immediately and he needs to take that help seriously, as in life or death serious. The young man is lucky that he is still alive and is flirting with disaster as would any one who uses and abuses illegal drugs and/or alcohol. I think being in the wrestling business should be the furtherest thing from Reid’s mind right now and quite honestly the wrestling biz simply might not be the right vocation for the son of arguably the greatest in ring performer of all time. Following any famous father’s footsteps is a daunting task for any athlete or entertainer especially in the relatively small world of pro wrestling. Reid Flair needs to address his issues and prioritize getting healthy and not worry about learning how to be the ‘next Naitch’ or Reid’s next booking. Reid’s generation, in general, has entitlement issues that will never serve them well and that usually lead to disaster to some degree including the ultimate disaster of facilitating one’s own demise. The good Lord gave Reid a break but my suggestion to Reid is for Reid Flair to not to P.O. Him, man up, and prioritize living his life clean and sober. I’m pulling for Reid to kick out of this matter and get his life on track and to evaluate if putting all his eggs into the ‘wrestling basket’ is prudent thinking.”

- TNA are off once again looking for more talentless B-list celebrities to take up camera time on their product. Their latest interest is in Spencer Pratt from the horrendously scripted reality show The Hills.

Although cavorting with these so called stars may make certain wrestlers and writers feel better about themselves, historically they have added nothing to the ratings or PPV buyrates, and just help take camera time away from hard working wrestlers!

We aren’t scripted like wrestling, honest, I always act this shocked in real life

The Pratt is being tipped for the June PPV.

- This past Friday’s episode of WWE Smackdown rose back up from the prior week’s 1.6 number, to a 1.9 broadcast rating, which is back withing the usual range.
