-- JR checked in with his latest blog entry. Ross discusses Teddy Hart's chances in WWE, ECW brand's contract renewal with Sci Fi and more. Below are several highlights:

Jim Ross On ECW's future: The ECW brand is not going up in flames. Sci Fi has renewed the TV contract of the show and if one studies closely the ratings that ECW delivers to Sci Fi based on the other Sci Fi shows, one can see that ECW is an evolving asset to the cable network. When some of the ECW talents “get hot,” which will happen in time, then the Tuesday night show will indeed be considered much more “must see TV” than perhaps some perceive it to be now.

Jim Ross On WWE returning to Japan: I assume the WWE will return to Japan at some point in time, as Japan has always been a great host for WWE events. The WWE’s international growth is fascinating and will continue to grow as their TV’s in international territories matures and builds audiences. To my knowledge, the WWE has no affiliation with any Japanese wrestling office.

Jim Ross On Kristal's whereabouts: I do not know the whereabouts of Kristal, as it’s not my day to watch after her. I have no idea if she is through with the biz or plans on trying it again.

Jim Ross On Teddy Hart's chances with WWE: Teddy Hart has had about 3 chances to stick with the WWE, as I recall. Whether or not he gets yet another chance isn’t my call. At some point, however, all involved in the process have to realize that some things just aren’t meant to be.

Jim Ross On HBK's workload: I have no idea what sort of work load HBK will attempt to maintain in the WWE but less than an absolute full time schedule would not surprise me at this stage of his career and considering Shawn’s list of injuries. Doesn’t the arena in Melbourne have a list of the WWE Superstars that will be appearing on their website elsewhere? Many times fans simply need to call their arena to get the info they seek regarding who is appearing on a specific card.
