Ric Flair’s First Post WWE Appearance, Jim Ross On Recent WWE Firings

- Ric Flair made his first post WWE appearance when he attended the NWA Legends Convention in Charlotte, NC. After addressing the fans and answering a few questions with legendary announcer Bob Caudle he signed autographs and took pictures for $100 each. This did not deter any fans. After all it is the Naitch!

- Jim Ross is back with more blog thoughts on JRSBARBQ.com – here are the highlights:

On what makes a good PPV:
“Great PPV’s are the one’s when matches one expects to be bad are actually watchable and when good matches become great or at least exceed expectations. Plus every great PPV needs that one match that provides the “Wow” factor.”

On the recent releases:
“Another tough week for some WWE talents who got news that they were being released. I know that there are some really good human beings who will be soon looking for work and I sincerely hope that none of them stop chasing their dreams. Perhaps the cuts of the past two weeks indicate that several of the young talents from Florida Championship Wrestling are on the verge of being called up.”

On Edge:
“Edge has been as good as any one in the WWE or elsewhere in recent weeks and quite frankly I don’t recall Edge ever being as compelling as he is as we speak. Edge has transformed himself into a demented, sick and evil man who seems to be looking forward to a jaw dropping outing Sunday inside the Hell in a Cell vs. The Undertaker. This match should close the show at Summerslam and will likely be a train wreck that includes casualties.”

On Mike Adamle:
“Former ECW broadcaster Mike Adamle is doing a really solid job as the Raw General Manager. I still believe it is easier to be a reoccurring character such as a GM than a play by play announcer or color commentator in today’s world of sports entertainment. I’m not too objective but the demands on today’s wrestling broadcasters is far and above it has ever been in my career that started in the mid 70’s.”
