Jim Ross Predicts More Cuts Are Coming & Talks About Wrestlers Using Marijuana

Jim Ross is back with another blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Some highlights:

-- More Talent Cuts: "A fan wrote me and asked if I thought that there would be more talent cuts within the WWE soon and my honest and direct answer is that I don't know. However, if forced to make a prediction I would think yes and that unfortunately, but honestly, it isn't a bad thing to change the bottom and then the middle of the lineup at least annually. Roster 'upgrades' was always my goal when I worked in talent relations as it is today. However, the more cooks in the kitchen regarding who goes and who stays makes it more difficult in my opinion."

-- Wrestlers Using Marijuana: "Rowdy Roddy Piper was featured on my wife's favorite show TMZ this week apparently smoking some pot. Roddy's reason was essentially medical in nature as in treating his cancer but nonetheless it reminded me of the territory days in the 70's when many wrestlers would smoke pot recreationally on virtually a daily basis which seemed to act as a sedative for some of the higher strung alpha males. As the legend has it, "Hippie" Mike Boyette, who allegedly liked to smoke a joint occasionally, even had marijuana scented air freshener in his vehicle just in case he was pulled over by the police and if they smelled pot Mike would laugh and demonstrate the pot scented, air freshener. I can remember WAY back in the day when JYD's adoring fans in southern Louisiana would bring Dog grocery sacks full of pot as a show of their admiration. Ernie Ladd used to talk to JYD all the time about what the Big Cat referred to as "demon weed."
