JR/Lesnar/Scott Hall, WSX Update, Vince, Austin, More
MTV2 has quietly started airing episodes of WSX. Episode five and six aired last night with no advertising. MTV Tr3s is airing WSX every Wednesday at 5:30PM. So one could assume that the finale, which has yet to air, will end up airing at some point on MTV2 or MTV Tr3s.
SciFi.com has an interview up with Steve Austin where he talks about The Condemned. In the interview, Austin says he wants to act for the rest of his life. He also talks about the fighting styles he used in the film.
The Orlando Sentinel has comments up from Vince McMahon regarding WrestleMania coming to Orlando. Check those out here.
Jim Ross has another new blog entry up. Some highlights are below. On Warrior being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame: Will the Ultimate Warrior ever be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame? Beats me. Not my call, for the record again. Would Warrior even accept if called? Does Warrior deserve the nod? Probably. On Brock Lesnar: I get asked about Brock Lesnar all the time. Jerry Brisco worked hard on recruiting Brock out of the University of Minnesota and I signed him to a WWE contract. Lesnar appeared to be a natural. Physically there was no doubt. But Brock either burned out with all the travel or he simply wasn't a fan of the genre. Nonetheless, if Lesnar were in the WWE today he could be making HUGE money, but only if his heart was in it. I wish things had worked out differently with Brock, as none of us are getting any younger and for a wrestler, one's younger years are generally, not always but generally, the best. I call it a lost opportunity for Lesnar and the business. On Scott Hall: We get lots of Scott Hall questions and I have not heard if Scott ever wants to wrestle a full time schedule again, but it is "highly unlikely". He has a smart wrestling mind though. On tri-branded WWE PPVs: Yes, in the future all WWE PPV's will feature all three brands. My question is, does that include all three announce teams plus the vaunted Spanish announce team that works every PPV (and does a great job by the way)? Perhaps my travel just increased and I am just not aware of it yet. Hooray.
