JR: Matt Morgan & Jim Cornette, Wrestlers Paying Taxes, More
Jim Ross has recently updated his blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are a few highlights.
-Ross on TNA's Matt Morgan: "Jim Cornette is taking huge Matt Morgan under his wing, it seems in TNA, and if JC's instincts are right, and they are more often than not, Morgan could be a big time player. Morgan is a classic example that when he was originally signed by the WWE, if Matt could have spent a few years in the territory system before being exposed on national TV he would have been much better off. No one in Cornette's current organization can touch him on creatively developed story telling."
-Ross on wrestlers paying taxes: "I have said it to young talents for years?.pay your taxes. I said it so much it got old and was tongue in cheek repeated by the young talents. Now many of them thank me for it. Uncle Sam always wins. Uncle Sam will retire as the "champion". Independent contractors must pay their quarterly tax estimates, without fail. Failure to do so is isn't smart. Just ask actor Wesley Snipes who has just gotten sentenced to jail time."
-Ross on NFL rookies: "I am in favor of a NFL rookie cap where the rookies still make some serious jack but the bulk of the salaries will go to veterans who have earned the big money. I also think this would eliminate prolonged holdouts a la Raiders big money, big bodied QB JaMarcus Russell last year who wasted a year of his life and a bunch of Oakland's cash due to a long holdout."
