The following are excerpts from the latest online blog from WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross:
On Bryan Danielson: Speaking of Dragon Gate, Bryan Danielson will also be signing at that event and wrestling. Bryan, trained by HBK, has apparently agreed to a deal with WWE which is a smart move on the WWE’s part. I think Danielson should have been signed long ago but that’s just one man’s opinion… I have no clue as to what WWE brand Danielson will migrate to first but it would not surprise me to see him hang his hat in ECW. For the record, that’s not an official declaration but merely an opinion. WWE honchos could bring Danielson to Smackdown and it wouldn’t hurt my feelings. I’m just saying.
On Trish Stratus: It will be great to see Trish Stratus in Toronto in a couple of weeks guest hosting Raw in her home town. As a matter of fact, it’s always good to see ‘Canada’s Greatest Import’ anywhere. Perhaps I can persuade my Ryan Seacrest-like partner Todd Grisham that we need to be at the TO Raw even if we don’t do our solitary, WWE Superstars match that night. We will be in Hamilton on Tuesday for Smackdown on this Canadian run and will be basing out of Toronto on Monday and Tuesday. BTW Trish and Stacey Keibler are on the cover with yours truly of our "J.R.’S Cookbook" which we personally autograph and sell in our on line store for $9.95 and they were originally $16 when they were released.
On Steve Austin: Steve Austin is scheduled to wrap the latest film he’s starring in on Wednesday in Vancouver. In the last few days of filming, Steve ran into an ‘I’ beam and severely gashed his bald head. He emailed me a photo and it was gnarly to say the least but Steve said that he ‘didn’t sell it and never left his feet.’ And when I say gash, I mean gash. Austin’s legend of being "hard headed" is not folklore I assure you. Steve may be starting yet another film, perhaps in Vancouver, in November, TBD.
