J.R On Elijah Burke's Release, Problems At RAW & More

Jim Ross has posted his latest blog entry. Ross wrote this blog from overseas in the UK, where WWE is currently touring. Some highlights:

- Listening to Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura doing commentary on a Gene Okerlund hosted WWE broadcast. Lots of fun, the broadcast team was great in the 80's.

- Raw was wild and "raw" Monday night with many behind the scenes TV production challenges or so I was told by those that were there. Getting ready to watch it in a few moments.

- Manchester is one of approximately 16 WWE sellouts on this tour. We are recording 2 Friday nite Smackdowns Tuesday nite. Hope the pipes hold out. These Smackdowns will take us right up to the Survivor Series in Boston.

- Watching Dynamite Kid as I write this. He was pretty damn amazing.

- Elijah Burke's whereabouts are now well know as he was cut by the WWE in recent hours. Burke is a good talker and if I were him in addition to staying in wrestling, if he chooses, I would give Hollywood a shot. Tough break for Elijah but he cannot look at it as the world's end.
