Episode 362: Ask JR LIVE
🎧 Listen to the full episode on Grilling JR with Jim Ross
Stone Cold Steve Austin return
As far as Steve having another match, I don't see it. He's trying to take care of himself health-wise. We just forget these guys are not iron men. When they're hurt, they're hurt.
Roddy Piper's reputation for putting talent over
I'd agree with that [that Roddy Piper wasn't keen on putting folks over]. He had to be asked a lot of questions. Why are we doing this and how do you want to do that? It got complicated at times. That's a trait of an old school main eventer.
Road Dogg leaving WWE
I was very surprised that he and WWE were no longer doing business together. He did a hell of a job for those guys, from what I'm told. Everybody that worked with him said he was invaluable.
Ring canvas logos safety concerns
If you're going to have a logo and you want it to look like they do, very upscale, very slick, then they've got one literally that's very slick. If somebody slips and falls and tears the knee out or an ankle, it could be very scary and very costly.
Alexandra Williams promotion to Raw lead writer
I've not met her in my life that I'm aware of. I'm sure she's qualified. She's survived this long as a female in that role, which is impressive.
Johnny Ace independent signing
It's a payday. That's the one thing. He's not doing it for his humanitarian efforts; he's doing it for the payday. I'm sure he'll be a compelling guest.
Cyndi Lauper Hall of Fame induction
Cindy Lauper belongs in the WWE Hall of Fame. She brought a lot of publicity and awareness to the WWE to a brand new audience—that MTV audience.
Sting's AEW run and reliability
Sting is the easiest to work with. He's always delivered. I've said it many times, Conrad: what's the most important trait I looked for? Reliability. You can't go back in Sting's long career and give me examples of where he was not reliable.
Bob Holly Hall of Fame potential
I think anybody that's deserving of a Hall of Fame will eventually find their way there, including Bob Holly. I would be shocked that within the next year or two that Bob Holly wasn't inducted.
Test Hall of Fame potential
I just don't see it happening anytime soon for Test being in the Hall of Fame. He had some issues that developed over time and he became not as reliable as we needed.
