JR Blogs: TNA Vs. WWE, Cena Vs. Rock, Bret Vs. Vince, Bischoff

Jim Ross has posted more answers to some reader questions on his website (https://www.jrsbarbq.com). Here are some of the highlights:

On TNA putting WWE out of business: "Hell, no. WWE likely wont' be dinted by TNA and WWE shouldn't be TNA's obsession. TNA should just worry about improving their brand and making more money and producing more compelling TV. WWE is way too strong and too well organized to be noticeably impacted by any one in today's marketplace in pro wrestling."

On WWE mentioning accomplishments from other promotions: "I'm not big on mentioning other brands personally and I highly doubt that McMahon saw either talent you mentioned to any serious degree before the talent relations department signed them which isn't unusual or necessary."

On why Eric Bischoff mocks WWE: "I can only assume Eric does it to get folks talking such as you with this question. Personally I would never infer to WWE especially with TNA going head to head on Mondays. What does it do to help make TNA a better show to watch?"

On Cena vs. The Rock happening: JR: "To quote Gorilla, "Highly Unlikely."

On WWE moving away from PG for the Monday Night War: "I don't see this Monday night stuff as being a "war" nor do I see WWE deviating from their PG rating."

On how Sting would be used in WWE: "I would see him used sparingly, well positioned and as a legendary attraction"

On Ric Flair coming out of retirement: "If Ric is happy then I am happy. If used wisely, Ric can still be an asset as a wrestler but will always add to any show if he isn't overexposed."

On bringing back the Cruiserweight title and Hogan giving his Hall of Fame ring to Abyss: "The cruiserweights should only be brought back if they are going to be featured and not just lip service like TNA's X Division. Hulk giving Abyss his WWE HOF ring was fiction and I did not find it offensive at all. I don't speak for McMahon."

On Bret vs Vince: "I'm intrigued by it and hope that it is enjoyed by all. Likely the last time Bret will ever be in the ring in this role. That's big."

On Vince McMahon tweeting that JR would be back for WrestleMania: "That's news to me. I did not know McMahon even had a Twitter page but I am not yet contractually obligated to attend WM26 even though that is my goal."
