Jim Ross Blog: Thoughts on TNA Payroll Issues, His Possible Involvement with the WWE Network, His Upcoming NYC Shows & More

April 19, 2015

A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com, and below are some highlights:

Regarding my potential involvement with the @WWENetwork, we are in the preliminary, talking stages but I’d love to participate with them at some point in the future if schedules, etc can be addressed. I’ve been a subscriber since day one and love the network and encourage all who haven’t to give it a try. So, nothing whatsoever is etched in stone but there is dialog ongoing and we will see where it goes over the next few weeks/months. It’s all positive which is where healthy negotiations begin.

Hate to hear of the apparent payroll issues in TNA and sincerely hope that they can get past this bump in the road and continue to produce good, solid TV airing every Friday night on Destination America. I’m for all wrestling companies doing well.

Tickets for our Saturday night August 22 RINGSIDE w/ Jim Ross Show at NYC’s Gramercy Theater will now go on sale THIS MONDAY AT NOON at ticketmaster.com. Tickets will start at $25 and there will be a limited amount of $55 VIP Meet/Greet/Photo Op tickets available but they always go fast. Getting tickets from ticketmaster.com is safe and easy and we are expecting a raucous, full house the night before Summer Slam, Saturday August 22. The VIP portion of the show will run from 6-8 pm while the show itself is from 8-10 pm.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
