WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR said about:

Week 2 of the Brock Lesnar – John Cena Feud:

Hottest start to a Monday Night Raw that I can remember in years. The show opening brawl between Brock Lesnar and John Cena was shocking and physical. These two wasted no time verbally lambasting the other and ‘passed go’ and went right to the smashmouth, literally, aspect of the rivalry.

Lesnar has ‘it’ and his presence is stark/sobering. When the former WWE and UFC champion makes his way to the ring, all eyes are on him. 

John Cena is tough as a $2 steak. No hyperbole just fact.  Cena’s former coach at Springfield College told me that John was a physical, workhorse who anchored their offensive line as an All American center and was the hardest worker on the team.  Cena getting a busted lip had him smiling. That was awesome.

Lesnar’s interview with Josh Mathews was excellent.

Young Talent Like Brodus Clay, Dolph Ziggler & Cody Rhodes:

“At my stage of the game, I enjoy watching these young guys evolve and I have the patience to allow such to occur in a natural, organic manner. Unfortunately, younger fans want instant gratification much like they want their pizzas delivered in 30 minutes or less. I’d rather enjoy the aroma coming from the kitchen for hours before enjoying that great meal.”

– John Cena wrote the following message on Twitter after Monday’s RAW:

“Interesting #raw tonight. Make sure u check out @Syfy #DreamMachines tomorrow after #smackdown.”

– RAW General Manager John Laurinaitis tweeted the following after RAW, playing into the storyline that he is the person responsible for bringing Brock Lesnar back to WWE:

“Bringing #BrockLesnar back to WWE was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He personifies what the era of #PeoplePower is all about.”

– After petitioning for a match with Lord Tensai on Twitter, Yoshi Tatsu got what he wanted on RAW – so to speak. Tatsu, who got squashed by Tensai so badly that the referee stopped their match, wrote:

“I don’t want to have an excuse. I couldn’t do anything today. But I have a reason to have to win to Lord Tensai !!! #YoshiRevolution”

“Thank you for cheering last night. Lord Tensai is too strong for me so far. But I will never give up like @JohnCena !!! #YoshiRevolution”

– WWE Tag Team Champion Epico Tweeted the following about being left off RAW again:

“Well, the tag team champs were left off #Raw for another week…… But this time we’re not gonna cry…. We’re just gonna take matters into our own hands…”

– WWE will present a special live edition of SmackDown tonight on SyFy at 8pm from the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia. The show will feature an “Old School” theme, with the following WWE Legends booked to appear:

Gene Okerlund, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Dusty Rhodes, Ted DiBiase Sr., Mick Foley, Sgt. Slaughter, Tony Atlas, Pat Patterson, Hillbilly Jim, Howard Finkel, Jimmy Hart, Mae Young and Roddy Piper.

No matches have been announced for the tapings, but WWE says punishment is in store for World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus after he hit referee Chad Patton with a Brogue Kick last week. WWE is teasing that John Laurinaitis may strip Sheamus of the title and award it to the #1 contender, Alberto Del Rio. Chad Patton told the WWE website over the weekend that he doesn’t believe that Sheamus has been punished enough yet for his attack.

The dark match main event is advertised as Mark Henry, Daniel Bryan and Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show.

– After Monday’s RAW from Washington, DC went off the air, Dolph Ziggler came out and started talking trash to John Cena. Cena gave him an Attitude Adjustment and left Ziggler on the mat to end the show.

– It was announced on RAW that next week’s show will feature CM Punk defending the WWE Championship against Mark Henry in a match with no disqualifications and no count outs. The stipulation is a result of CM Punk facing Henry on the past 2 weeks of RAW and the match ending without a conclusive result.

– The WWE RAW crew is headed overseas for a two-week tour today. Triple H is advertised for WWE’s first show in Moscow, Russia this Wednesday.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR wrote about:

The WWE Title Picture:

“The WWE Title picture certainly became even more interesting Monday night when reigning Champion @CMPunk found himself with a bull’s eye on his chest not only from the challenge last week of Mark Henry but also from the renewed pursuit of Chris Jericho @IAmJericho, @TheRock who said that he would be WWE Champion again, @JohnCena who always has his sights set on the top prize in WWE plus Brock Lesnar who certainly feels that he is the alpha male in WWE but to validate such must be WWE Champion.”

Brock Lesnar’s WWE Return Last Week:

“Many fans are still buzzing about the return of the enigma known as Brock Lesnar. Lesnar is a complex, dominating and driven athlete who made an immediate impact last week when he F5’ed John Cena without warning.”

“I find it odd that many fans can’t understand why Brock Lesnar came back to WWE after retiring from MMA competition. I always thought that Brock would return to WWE but the timing of his return did somewhat surprise me. Lesnar is a businessman, a competitive athlete and knows a potential, golden opportunity when he sees one.”

“‘The Next Big Thing’ returns to WWE a little older, although he is still young, and likely wiser this go around which makes the former NCAA National Champion and WWE Champion that much more dangerous”

Damien Sandow’s WWE Debut:

“Keep an eye on Damien Sandow who debuted on Smackdown Friday night. He’s bright, athletic and motivated. I fully expect him to be successful at the next level. I love his ‘Lou Thesz-like’ robe and towel combo. I have high expectations for Sandow who’s got a solid work ethic and is a student of the game notwithstanding a well spoken individual.”

Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania:

“I don’t have a crystal ball but I’d be surprised to see HHH, @ShawnMichaels and the Undertaker, all together, ever being in the ring as participants at a WrestleMania or any other WWE event ever again. The final chapter of an amazing book was seemingly written and the book closed on Sunday in Miami.
