when i asked about the classics like Piper, Lawler, & newbies like Barrett , he said....
I think the smart way to look at this is to separate what men did at one point in their life and what they did/do once they arrived in pro wrestling. Two different careers. Pro wrestling has always been entertainment based."
when i asked about others refering to wrestling as a sport he said....... it's all done in fun, end of story,
Sport, weather it is football/soccer, Boxing, Rugby, anything is all entertainment, just as wrestling, this is why we attend shows & events & shout our lungs out till we have no voice left, it's entertaining, so in that respect Jim Ross is right, however the , seems to be something of a serious man, once he was the goold ole jr, sitting next to king yelling ""STONE COLD, STONE COLD", has as of late become Grinch of the WWE, telling us all WWE is fictional, WWE is just an entertainment show.
JR, where is the emotion, the Kayfabe, the imagination, the hype, to some degree, we all believe in the hype, we all belive in that fictional character that we grew up with, most of us watch tv, soap operas to get away from reality, no one will ever admit that it's not real, because it takes away our creative systems, it takes away who we are, if everythig is real, what do we thrive on that makes us escape the normality, why do so many of us believe in He-Man, Batman & Superman, what do artists & children alike thrive on. what makes us daydream or wish we could be someone? This is what fiction is & i for one don't want to be eminded of that the WWE is not real nor do i want to know that it is a show, i just turn on the tv & chant "GO WADE GO" or take these wrestling superstars to heart, like a young child with a cuddly toy or an artist with a wooden mannequin or cartoon character.
With WWE saying join in the conversation on twitter, i tried but don't like to too much because it's mylittle world that when i joined twitter specifically for WWE, i hoped thst i'd sgare my little world with wrestling fans & WWE crew, so far it'a few fans i have connected with & delighted we share a a particular favorite wrestling superstar, but who was once named Good Ole JR has become the strictly serious grinch of Wrestling, if i am wrong, then we does he say these things, can we just enjoy the hype? can JR enjoy the hype and drive in the fictional lane just for the fans who still believe in Kayfabe.
I understand the product but, i honestly thought it would be a young-un like Josh Matthews that would blow the Kayfabe to pieces, as Jim Ross as been with the WWE/WCW/southern territory wrestling company that seemed like for all infinity & beyond, i'd thought he had too much history & experience to come out & say, WWE's just a show.
I am somewhat greatful to JR though, he made me see that English football is not a sport & a soft-spoken, mild-mannered poster-boy David Beckham is no sports star, he's just an entertainer as John Cena is,
disagree? look at our culture & see Jim Ross, his views are very similar to the way we conduct our so-called sporting nation
