In a blog post on his official website, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross offered his take on Steve Austin’s podcast with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

“Thoroughly enjoyed the Austin-McMahon discussion on the WWE Network Monday night after RAW. Thought it was well done by both men and informative and entertaining which are always two desirable traits of any piece of business.

Was happy that VKM addressed the hot topic of the CM Punk matter and was surprised abut the apology he made to Punk about getting his legal paperwork on Punk and AJ’s wedding day. Seems as if the door is open to resume talks some day if both parties are of that mindset. Punk’s overwhelming desire to close the show at a WrestleMania is admirable and if any one in the locker room doesn’t have that same goal every day of their professional life then they need to find another line of work.

The topic of Bill Watts coming up was nostalgic as I recall organizing that FREE ‘meet and greet’ at the old Myriad featuring all the Mid South fan favorites including Kerry Von Erich as being a success the night WWE made their OKC debut. Thought it was smart for Vince to add more time onto the conversation with the extra fifteen minutes that created the sense of urgency required to finish strong and they did just that. I have to believe that this programming was great for the @WWENetwork.”
