J.R Blog: Bret Hart At RAW Tonight? Steamboat Jr., UFC 101
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog over at JRsBarBQ.com Here's what JR said about:
Ricky Steamboat Jr.: "Nice to hear that Ricky Steamboat, Jr. is now competing in Puerto Rico. Getting all the worldly experience that he has received in wrestling is great training for young Steamboat who, as I mentioned long ago, is going to be a big star in wrestling if he continues to improve and stays healthy. The son of 'The Dragon' is being schooled perfectly and is getting used to life on the road, different styles of in ring styles and will be so far advanced from the young men and women in a training camp it won't even be close. Nothing can replicate young wrestlers getting ready for 'Broadway' like wrestling a variety of competitors in a multitude of environments. Plus, getting used to being a responsible traveler is also a benefit."
BJ Penn & UFC 101: "B.J. Penn seemed to be back in B.J. Penn form Saturday night on what was a strange night for the UFC in Philly. UFC 101 was always going to be challenged to follow UFC 100 as that's like Backlash following Wrestlemania. The crowd in Philly, I don't know if the majority of fans were from Philly or not, was unique to say the least and at times they did not do the show any favors."
RAW In Calgary: "A WWE Superstars bout, WGN America..Thursday 8/7central... will be taped Monday night, likely after Raw concludes, which, I would assume. will feature the Hart Dynasty in some incarnation. If this happens, this will be a thrill, I'm sure, for the trio of Calgary natives who will get to perform in the ring at a WWE event in their home town before friends and family. I'm sure that the Calgary faithful will welcome the young Hart's back home with open arms ... I have no idea if Bret Hart is going to be in Calgary when WWE passes through Monday night but it would be great to see him if he were. I know I speak for many who will be in attendance when I say that."
