WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with a new blog on jrsbarbq. As always, you can purchase JRs BBQ products on WWEshop. Here are some highlights from this entry: - Talked with Steve Austin, whose podcasts on @PodcastOne are killing it, on Monday night and was kidding him about him training for a comeback, which most fans thought meant Steve was returning to the ring, and, subsequently, taking a bigger role within WWE in 2015. I jokingly asked Austin that if he was going to be taking a bigger role if he could get a brother some work because a mans got to eat! Bottom line is that Steve was talking to a man who used to train with Arnold back in the day at the Golds Gym in Venice and Steve said he was training to prepare to return to Golds Gym to train. They were talking about training, not wrestling, and how working out at Golds in Venice wasnt for everyone. When the fans heard Austin say that he was training for a comeback they assumed that he meant to the ring which in turn means WrestleMania 31. While Steve always keeps an open mind on returning to the ring for one last match, thats not an immediate goal of his or even on the back burner. If many factors involved in that process were in place, I could theoretically see Steve doing it but the chance that all the stars aligning to his satisfaction are slim plus the window of opportunity as it relates to Father Time is beginning to close as well. Austin would never return to the ring to go through the motions and he would likely need a solid four months of in ring work/training to be in the condition that he would demand of himself to headline a major event like WrestleMania. If I were WWE, Id more likely look at WM32 in Dallas and begin discussing that sooner than later for the Texas Rattlesnake. Thats merely my personal opinion but selling 100,000 tickets in his home state might interest Steve the most if the money, the opponent and the creative were all on point. - The Roman Reigns interview was well intended but came off as lets hurry and get Roman back on TV than any thing else. No viable info was provided that I recall as it certainly seems that Roman is still being fast tracked. I feel that it was a good decision to not have Reigns do his promo live from the ring. - I havent gotten interested in the Hell in a Cell just yet thats later this month in Dallas but Im sure that I will watch it on the WWE Network. Its always interesting to see how a PG HIAC can be produced without blood of some sort as the dramatic, steel encased backdrop almost seems to cry out for that special effect. Or...Im just very old school.
