Jim Ross has updated his blog at JRsBarBQ.com. Here's what JR said about:

Talent Development: "My thoughts for young wrestlers....talent development is an area that I loved being a part of at one time in my career and I am proud of the track record we had in helping launch or re-launch some distinguished careers in WCW and WWE. In a nutshell, young talents must be amplified versions of THEMSELVES and not portray what they PERCEIVE a pro wrestler to be. Bad acting is generally an automatic kiss 'o death. Study the classic stars throughly and discover what made those men standout. When doing this, one will usually discover that the greats of the past were simply being enhanced versions of themselves. They also understood their audience throughly and were able to engage the audience with the required "emotional investment."

Fedor vs. Lesnar: "O.K. so Fedor isn't scared of Brock Lesnar but I made you look. Fedor's "people" will continue to catch the heat of Fedor not signing with UFC for "ridiculous money" as in BIG bucks but if Fedor wants to compete in UFC then he'll push to get the deal done and fight Lesnar for a reported $5M guarantee. Two things here: Fedor's sponsor/entourage want UFC to facilitate the growth and exposure of their rival MMA company M-1 which is absolutely ludicrous and laughable from a business point of view. Secondly, look for Brock Lesnar to perhaps get a new deal now that all the Fedor $$$$ have been thrown around whether those numbers are accurate or not and my feeling is that they are probably embellished somewhat. I think that UFC officials have already talked too much about a match, Brock vs. Fedor, that they haven't got in their pocket. Why build anticipation for a fight that one can't guarantee?"

HBK's Return: "Yes, I feel that HBK will be back in WWE action soon, as do most. Furthermore if Shawn's schedule is properly managed he can continue to contribute at a high level for several years to come, if he so chooses. My opinion is that in the upcoming years that a HBK at 75 percent is better than the vast majority of the men who earn a living in the wrestling biz today. "
