Kurt Angle says Austin is an underrated wrestler:
TNA star Kurt Angle said Steve Austin was an underrated wrestler during a recent interview with Hooked On Wrestling magazine.

“One of the most underrated wrestlers – not entertainers, but wrestlers – in the history of professional wrestling,” said the former Olympian.

“He changed the face of wrestling. I wrestled him in my first year in the business, and I knew nothing. Austin carried me through every match that we had.”

Jim Ross discusses Ryback crowd reactions:
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross talked about Ryback’s improving crowd reactions in his latest JRSBARBQ.com blog.

“Watching at home, it felt like @Ryback22 got one of his best live audience reactions on RAW,” wrote the veteran announcer.

“Seems like the Las Vegas native is beginning to click and will likely continue to do so. Again, some fans with zero patience want it to happen “yesterday” but speaking from experience the process takes time. I can provide numerous illustrations of this going all the way back to the 70′s when I started in the business.”

JR also discussed the CM Punk surgery controversy; or lack thereof:

“Any fan that thinks that @CMPunk did not have knee surgery likely is too stupid to be reading this blog,” wrote JR.

“A case of J.R.’s HOT BBQ sauce says that the straight edge WWE Champion isn’t even using medication to monitor the pain he’s obviously having to endure while his knee heals.”
