Jim Ross Q&A: Responds to CM Punk Labeled a Quitter, Rosa Mendes on Total Divas, WWE’s PG Product and More

May 23, 2014

A new Jim Ross Q&A has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com, and below are some highlights. As always, JR's BarBQ products can be ordered via WWEShop.com.

On how being as PG product impacts WWE:

"Being PG or TV14 makes no difference if the roster isn't performing at their highest level from top to bottom . Success is determined by the talent and not the TV rating."

On Rosa Mendes joining the Total Divas cast:

"Perhaps she will add a spark to the show and will certainly be a new face. I'm guessing that this will be a good fit for her."

On nationalistic story lines:

"Politically charged, nationalistic storylines have to be cautiously crafted depending on today's situation. In today's PC world, they are especially sensitive."

On if he considers CM Punk a "quitter":

"I do NOT consider CM Punk a quitter whatsoever and those that do I feel sorry for. I can't speak for either party but I'd never say never in the pro wrestling biz."
