I agree with his comments pertaining to Flair, Warrior, and Cryme Tyme. Firstly, Flair need's to call it quits already. Don't get me wrong, I'm life-long fan of his, but come on, even the Hulkster knows when it's time, as he's only been wrestling, what, once per year? Twice, tops. And as JR mentioned, tarnished, and injuries. Keywords right there. Second, Warrior does belong in the WWE HoF. But, that will most likely not happen anytime soon, as he & the Vin' Man has too much animosity for each other. I say, time to put that crap to rest, and induct the man, because he so deserves it. Sure, he's a bit psycho, whoopie freaking doo. The man made the WWE millions. And thirdly, I agree whole heartedly with his comments on Cryme Tyme. I mean, they're entertaining, no doubt about that, but would be nice if they could actually entertain in the ring, instead of just outside of it, you know?
And people has said the WWE doesn't know of TNA. Pfft to that, as this is the third time that I've noticed JR making mention of them. The last time, he put over Mike Tenay. Although I thought that was a bit too much of a put over, but it's his opinion, and I respect that, honestly... And I agree, I prefer the squared circle as well, and my reason being is that the six sided ring is too freaking cartoonish. Then again, it reminds me too much of the UFC, and that I have no problem with at all. Call me bias, a dick, you're probably right, lol. As for Konnan, even though I don't care much for his TNA character, he has done a great job with LAX, and I too wish him the best, and hope everything goes good for him.
