Jim Ross has a new blog available on his official website. Below are the highlights:

- Jericho's opponent at WM26, Edge, did a helluva job in the new, Slim Jim TV commercial that I saw during Raw last night and Edge came off as the big star that he is. Jericho and Edge are two Canadian lads who grew up wrestling fans and who will likely have one of the most memorable W'Mania bouts that we have seen in years. No one should under estimate how superb this contest will be. Looking at these two guys, among many on the WM26 card, I feel like the old coach who recruited some players who are now starting in the Super Bowl. That's a very cool deal to me.

- Talked to Steve Austin briefly Monday via phone. He's out promoting "Damage" which will be released and available for you to purchase on March 23. We'll head to Wal Mart for our copy, most likely. Steve is on the George Lopez Show tonight (Tuesday) on TBS and Steve will be getting an induction into Harvard University's National Lampoon Organization. Randy Savage and John Wayne, for the record, are also honorary members. Steve will be in Boston for the Harvard function and I hear that there may be a Stone Cold Beer Party in the works in conjunction with the festivities. This is a fun honor for Steve and the Beer Party should be a hoot. Yes, the real Stone Cold is Tweeting at steveaustinBSR.

- Pittsburgh Steeler QB Big Ben needs a new entourage and to utilize just a little more common sense thinking. #7 is a target and he can't put himself into precarious positions for a person of his stature and alleged rep whether the rep is right or wrong. Public perception regarding the Steeler QB isn't good right now but the good news is that Big Ben can fix it.

- Why do I not support open air stadiums for events such as Wrestlemania? Two words...rain and lightning. For some emailers who have suggested open air stadiums for 'Mania in states like Ohio in late March, I admire your wanting the event to come to your area but that simply isn't going to happen in my opinion.
