Jim Ross has posted his latest blog entry on
www.jrsbarbq.com. Highlights of the
always excellent read include:
"Been exchanging emails with Matt Cappotelli, former WWE Tuf Enough winner
and developmental wrestler. Matt has been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer
seemingly forever and hopes to finish chemo next summer which will mark three
years of chemotherapy treatment. Matt's a warrior with an amazing spirit and is
an inspiration with which to speak. I always thought this kid had "it" but he
has been sidetracked with battling cancer which has had to become a huge part of
Matt's life. Matt is an assistant manager at a Louisville health club and is
also finishing his college degree at the University of Louisville in Exercise
Physiology. I love Matt Cappotelli's mental and physical toughness and his
undying Faith. What a great young man."
-"Some apparent whack job is emailing me to death, perhaps there are more
than one, and is obsessed with me hooking him, I think it's a him, up with
Mickie James. This isn't "E-Harmony" pal but a place to congregate and order BBQ
products, etc. This person can't figure out why Mickie hasn't responded to
his/her many, many attempts at reaching her. Duh. Did you ever think that just
maybe you've scared the hell out of her? As Larry the Cable Guy might say, "Let
it go."
[Note from Mike: We've received the same emails here about 10 times from what I
would assume is the same individual. Ross nailed it on the head here.]
-"We are getting lots of redundant emails from our constituency regarding
Hulk going to TNA. Many of you know more than I about this development I can
assure you. I can only say that it's way too early to either condemn or commend
the development until fans see what changes in philosophy or direction are
taken. It's like a new coach being hired to coach, say the Washington Redskins
or the Tennessee Titans, for example, who are not where they want to be. How
does one judge the results before the process starts? It will all come down to
results and results won't/can't come over night."
Ross also noted he recently received copies of the new Hulk Hogan and Jeff Hardy
DVDs, with the Hardy one being a rough cut. Ross wrote about many, many more
wrestling and MMA topics, which you can read at

Get well soon, JR!
