Jim Ross is back with another blog update over at jrsbarbq.com. Check out a few of the highlights below. Read the full blog at jrsbarbq.com.

- Do I feel that TNA starting a women’s division will affect the WWE Divas? Uh, no Jamie I don’t.

- I “think” a Curt Hennig DVD is in the works. Last I heard it was on the table.

- I have not spoken to Paul Heyman since April, when he called to congratulate me on being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. I hear he is busy writing movie scripts, TV treatments, etc for a variety of projects he is involved with, in the film and TV business, none of which has anything to do with wrestling. Paul is a brilliant guy who has many skills and will not surprise me if he writes some major “hits” before all is said and done. Happy Heyman has a vivid imagination to say the least.

- I hope the “new” Hart Foundation works really well if and when it is debuted. I am just an old school guy who is leery of repackaged characterizations but this one might work. Time will tell and I am certainly pulling for the “Hart” kids.

- Many things are changing in the WWE for the better, in my view, as it relates to their much discussed Wellness Program. Lots of people can take responsibility for issues involving the program and I think they are. Wrestlers need to make better personal decisions and their doctors need to be smarter and not be so willing to cheat or be so gullible. That’s my personal opinion. The WWE is seemingly of the mindset that if a wrestler can’t adhere to the rules, the wrestler will unfortunately be looking elsewhere for work. From my experience in the management arm of the WWE, one of the bigger issues that the company has to deal with is the wrestlers denying when they have issues. Having a problem is not a mortal sin and humans do make mistakes. The bigger issue is when these mortal men and women refuse to admit they have a problem and continue to look for ways to “beat the system” that is designed to help them live healthier lives. Bottom line is that some talents simply will never adhere to the rules of any system that they are in and my personal philosophy in management was if one could not solve a problem, no matter how hard one tried, then the only alternative one had was to eliminate the problem. Sounds harsh, but that is the way I see it.
