WWE Hall of Fame announcer Jim Ross is back with another blog at Jrsbarbq.com where he discusses CM Punk being included in Paul Heyman's recent WWE DVD, possibly doing some MMA work and much more.

Ross commented on Heyman's Ladies and Gentlemen, My Name Is Paul Heyman DVD that recently came out and includes Punk, who quit the WWE back in January and is likely never coming back.
"The documentary aspect of the @HeymanHustle DVD is excellent....simply excellent," Ross wrote. "The video is now on sale and I can't recommend it enough. For me to be included, along with the departed from WWE CM Punk, was a nice surprise and I feel that we both were able to contribute some to the production. Paul is in the same conversation as a manager as is Bobby Heenan which is rarified air as far as I'm concerned."

Ross also revealed that he is working on getting into the MMA world and has a possible project in the works.
"My agent is working on a play-by-play gig for me for a MMA event and let's hope that gets done," Ross blogged. "I'm motivated and ready to stick my toe in the MMA waters and if I get the broadcast partner that I've requested then this broadcast could be a helluva lot of fun. Stay tuned."
Ross also touched on the rumors going around that the WWE will start filming Monday Night RAW and SmackDown on the same night again and go back to the "Super Show" format as part of the company's ongoing budget cuts.
"Someone with WWE told me that WWE was considering going back to the Super Show TV taping concept where they do RAW live on Monday night and also tape SmackDown the same evening," he wrote. "That's a load of work....more than a load....but it would save WWE tons of money by eliminating the Tuesday tapings. Time will tell if this cost-cutting move will actually happen but it's a giant undertaking nonetheless."
He also added that splitting up the announce teams would be a good idea as well.
"If it does occur then it might be a timely move to split the announce teams on the two shows so that the announcers can all prepare for one show plus it would make the shows sound differently as they all sound pretty much the same including the PPV's," he blogged. "@MichaelCole is carrying a mazing work load and it's inevitable that this much [overexposure] will burn him out sooner than later. WWE can ill afford for that to occur. I've said it before, few people at TV work harder than Cole who runs the show at the announce desk during the busiest and most unique time for a broadcaster ever in WWE with so many masters to serve and to promote while the matches are [ongoing]."
Ross also touched on the progress of his autobiography, Mark Henry's return to the WWE and confrontation with Damien Sandow on Mondays edition of RAW and more. The full blog post can be read by clicking here.
