JR Speaks About Muhammad Ali, Jericho And More

Jim Ross has updated his daily blog at www.jrsbarbq.com. In this edition, he speaks about an altercation between Bill Goldberg and Chris Jericho where Jericho choked Goldberg out. JR also talks about being a roommate with Muhammad Ali. Here are a few things he had to say:

On Goldberg/Jericho

You read where Chris Jericho once choked Bill Goldberg out according to a story written by Bret Hart? As I understand it, Chris restrained Goldberg with a front face lock until the altercation was broken up. Sometimes boys will be boys, you know.

On Rooming with Muhammad Ali

I spent three days as Muhammad Ali's roommate in a suite in New Orleans back in the day. He is/was an amazing man and his generosity and passion for people was awe inspiring. He once offered to give me one of his title belts and a gold jumpsuit Elvis had given him while I was on a visit to Muhammad's home in Los Angeles in the 80's. He even took me to his church for church services while we were there. Our days spent in New Orleans were classic. Walking with The Champ down Bourbon Street felt like tagging along with the "Pied Piper" as it related to his fans, especially his female fans who "somehow" found out we were staying at the Hyatt across the street from the Super Dome. That bit of info resulted in many knocks on our door for seemingly 72 straight hours.

Who will be GM of Raw

I have not heard of anyone being considered to be the full time G.M. of Raw. Seems like Jonathan Coachman is being groomed for that role some day.
