Jim Ross Blogs About Hulk Hogan Controversy, Tonight's WWE Raw From Oklahoma, The Rock's Show
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with his latest blog. You can check out the highlights below, and the full post at this link.
Hulk Hogan's controversy:
"Hulk Hogan remains in the news and is likely to continue to do so until another celebrity story breaks. Hulk arguably would be helped if he laid low on Twitter for a few weeks. Hopefully Hulk has retained PR professionals, a sensitivity training expert and he decides to stop trying to rehabilitate his image on social media at least for the time being. I am a big believer in forgiveness and have no reason to believe that Hogan can't or won't be forgiven in time if he goes about it in a sincere, thought out manner. Even if some believe that Hulk did nothing wrong, his public image, of which he earns a living, has taking the big leg drop and it needs rehabilitated.
"In my years of dealing with Hogan I never knew of him being a racist or having racist behavior. I can't read his mind or look into his soul but can only respond to what I've personally witnessed and that is I would never earmark him as being racist based on my interactions with him. No matter how one comments on this hot button issue, many will disagree. That's fine as long as the dialog remains civil which is often times impossible to achieve on social media platforms such as Twitter."
Monday Night Raw tonight:
"OKC hosts RAW tonight on the night over the years that Ol JR usually had a long evening at the office but not tonight as I will be interviewing Patrick Clark about being shockingly eliminated off Tough Enough last week for the Ross Report that drops tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 9 pm ET on podcastone.com, iTunes and here on the homepage of our website. Should be some compelling stuff."
The Rock's Ballers show:
"Loved @ShoRayDonovan, @BallersHBO and @TrueDetective Sunday night as I watched each episode twice. Very proud of the production and performance of my friend @TheRock on Ballers. Ballers reminds me a bit of some of the wrestlers during the Monday Night Wars who were making silly money during that time and thought that it would never end and now are suffering the consequences. Hopefully, Ballers will be a wake up call to those athletes (NFL. NBA. etc) and entertainment performers who feel bullet proof and that the Golden Goose will live forever."
