Jim Ross Blog: Working On WWE's New Paul Heyman DVD, JR's Upcoming Podcast, More
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with a new blog on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights from this entry:
- Brainstormed with Peter Rosenberg today of Hot 97 in NYC who will MC my two, NYC shows on Saturday March 1 at the Gramercy Theater. Tickets are available now but are selling quickly at the Gramercy box office and via all ticketmaster.com outlets.
- I'm told that we will finalize our NOLA dates for 'RINGSIDE' during WM30 week this Monday. It looks as if the House of Blues will be our venue.The day and times are still to be finalized as well as when tickets will go on sale of which I hope will be in the next few days. If you are coming to WM30 please plan on attending one of our shows.
- We had some very productive creative meetings this week about the format of my upcoming podcast for Podcast One. I think that you are going to like what we are planning on doing as it is very interactive.Our Podcast One venture will start in mid February.
- Been asked by WWE to be a part of the upcoming Paul Heyman DVD of which I'm anxious to participate. Once details are worked out we will schedule a time for me to head to WWE HQ and tell a few...dozen Heyman stories. I'm very honored to have been requested to be a part of this production as it was me who gave Paul his first broadcast gig and taught him the ropes as best that I could . Paul was so high strung and outspoken that many within WCW did not want to work with him but I saw talent in the abrasive albeit highly intelligent Jewish kid from Scarsdale, N.Y.
Many fans think that our broadcast of WM17 may have been the best broadcasted 'Mania to date. The credit for that show goes to the amazing talents who raised the bar that night in the Astrodome. But Paul was at his best that night.
