WWF Excess Report with Jim Ross: 11/17 Hosts: The Coach and Trish Stratus Guest: Jim Ross Report by: Kevin Gregg
Tonight's Guest: Tonight's guest will be Jim Ross. He'll be joining the show later.
Jim Ross joins the show... Jim Ross joins the show, and The Coach said that he knows that Jim has been very busy with Rebellion and Tough Enough. They took a look at some clips of what Jim Ross saw with Tough Enough 2. Tough Enough 2 is coming this February. Jim Ross said that it's an honor to be in sports entertainment and be able to perform in front of the crowds. The business in general is an honor, and these guys are going to be challenged. Jim is impressed by the talents that have tried out for Tough Enough 2. The Coach asked Jim for his thoughts on tomorrow night, and Jim said that it's going to be an emotional night. A lot of them worked their adult careers to get into the WWF, because that's the big show. The dream was to go to Madison Square Garden and get to the WWF. Ross finally made it through a lot of hard work.
Everyone in the WWF, whoever it is, the ring crew, the referees, they want to continue what they love to do. Unfortunately, that all depends upon what happens in the main event in Greensboro. The Coach went over an email, and Ross has been with the business for 25 years. If the Alliance wins, will he turn to them for employment? Jim Ross was quick to say no. The bottom line is that he would have a difficult time taking orders from Paul Heyman. Under Stephanie and Shane's mind set, he doesn't think that would work either. There are other options he could explore, and you never know, he may go back to Oklahoma. The Sooners could use him. The Coach and Jim Ross talked about this past Monday night on RAW, and Jim said that they ended RAW in the most unusual way that he's ever seen. What did it really mean? Except to say that Austin and The Rock are still competitive. Ross thinks that those two guys have a great deal of respect for each other, but they don't like each other.
They showed the full clip from WWF RAW, and The Coach said that it seemed like everything was okay at the end of RAW with Team WWF and Team Alliance being on the same page going into their match against each other at the Survivor Series. Jim Ross agreed, and he hopes that goes on through the Survivor Series. He doesn't know if anybody will ever be on the same page with Austin. It's going to come down to who's better at the Survivor Series as far as strategy. Austin may be the best he's ever seen at it, and it may come down to The Rock and Austin, one on one. If that happens, it'll be interesting, and he doesn't know if he likes the WWF's chances then. Jim Ross and The Coach talk about the Undertaker, and Jim said that he's always been the leader of the WWF. There will be hell to pay if there's not unity at the Survivor Series by the Undertaker. They showed clips of the promo from WWF Smackdown! when Paul Heyman literally ripped into Vince McMahon.

In ring promo: The ECW music hit in the arena and Paul Heyman made his way to the ring with something on his mind, concerning Vince McMahon. Paul got on the mic and said that in just a few moments at his leasure, he's going to call Vince McMahon out to his ring in front of his public on a television show that's owned by his grand company. At least that is, until this Sunday at Survivor Series. The fans started chanting "Asshole, asshole!" and Paul said that he knows how much the fans appreciate what Shane, Stephanie and Heyman have done. How they have stood up to Vince McMahon. The way it is, ladies and gentlemen is quite simple. The WWF will die this Sunday. But don't blame Paul. It's not his fault. He's not the one that ruined everything that was accomplished by Stone Cold Steve Austin. You see, at Survivor Series, it means so much more than just the personalities that are involved. It's about ending what Vince McMahon has tried to accomplish. Paul sat there at that desk on Monday and he listened to Mick Foley and he agreed with everything that Mick Foley had to say. That the WWF truly does suck!
The fans booed Paul, and Paul said not to boo him. Haven't you watched the Television shows lately? Vince McMahon has lost his mind. The man doesn't have it anymore. He's a has been. His ideas and concepts are a thing of the past. Mick Foley was right, because the WWF is imploding from within. Like every great empire, the WWF is imploding from within. Vince's loyal employees left him. Stone Cold left him, and Foley wants nothing to do with him. Vince's own children want to see him burn. Vince will see the WWF die at Survivor Series, and he has no hope to save his precious company. Vince has the same chances of saving the WWF as he did of realizing his dream of starting a football league. Vince McMahon's music hit and he made his way out and Paul Heyman had a huge smile on his face as the owner of the WWF made his way to the ring. Vince stood in the ring and waited for Paul to go on. Paul said that he was down on his knees, because he knows that he's used to men kissing his ass. Every time Vince walks in the back, there's Patterson and Brisco clapping for him and kissing his ass. Vince likes men kissing his ass, doesn't he? Because that's what he's all about. A billionaire. The billionaire, Vince McMahon.
The creator of sports entertainment. Paul has waited so long to see Vince face to face like this, and tell him to his face that he hates his stinking guts, but it's not just him, it's his children that hate his stinking guts and at Survivor Series, Vince's children is going to do to him what he's waited for his whole life to see happen to Vince. Vince is the most disgusting, vile, son of a bitch that he's ever seen in his life! Vince took Hulk Hogan's blood and built Titan Towers. He stole Bret Hart's dream and with that money bought himself an airplane with WWF all over it. Vince did that, and he knows it, you son of a bitch. Vince stole Shawn Michaels' smile, took his company public and made himself a billionaire. Not a self made billionaire like he likes to tell everybody he is. No, he's a billionaire of other people's hard work. Vince's father. Vince's father went around the country and shook the hand of every promoter in this country and swore to them that he'd never compete against them, and that his son would never compete against them. When Vince's father died, he competed. With his ruthless, merciless take no prisoners attitude, he drove everybody out of business.
He ran all of the competition into the ground and stole all of their ideas and made himself a billionaire. Paul said that Vince stole Paul Heyman's ideas. He stole his dreams and legacy and everything that ECW represented. While Doink the Clown had green hair and a rubber nose, Stone Cold Steve Austin was drinking his first beer in ECW. While Bobby Heenan and Gene Okerlund were singing Tootie Fruity, ECW was doing the attitude that the WWF stole. Paul said that Vince stole his life, his money and his legacy. Screw you and your family! Paul told Vince that his own children hate his guts, and on Sunday, his children are going to get even with him for everything that Vince has stolen from Paul Heyman and his children. He gloats about everything he does for his children to read. Look at Tazz. This man was a killer! He was a machine. He was a wrestler. A great wrestler. A real man. But wrestling's a dirty word to Vince, isn't it? Vince's father built a wrestling company and Vince had to have sports entertainment. Tazz was a wrestler. He was a great wrestler. He was a man, and now he's a fat little obnoxious color commentator and not even a good one. He is a sports entertainer!
He is not a wrestler, because Vince made wrestling a dirty word. What kind of man is Vince McMahon? What kind of a man takes wrestling and makes it sports entertainment? Tazz got up and the fans went nuts as Paul Heyman told Vince that he's going down at the Survivor Series. Paul promises him and his children are going to laugh over Vince's grave. Tazz got in the ring as Paul was in Vince's face and Tazz put Paul Heyman in the Tazzmission and the fans went nuts! Vince McMahon then kneeled before Paul and he told him that he is the epidemy of the Alliance, because this Sunday at Survivor Series, the Alliance will CHOKE. Tazz left as well as Vince McMahon and Jim Ross joined Michael Cole at ringside for commentary for the rest of the night.
Jim Ross and The Coach talk about it, and Jim said that Tazz is a complex guy. He walked off the show on Smackdown!. He's going to be a part of the Immunity Battle Royal at the Survivor Series. Jim Ross talks about ECW and the failure of ECW, and Paul Heyman has himself to blame for that, not Vince McMahon. That was Paul Heyman's lack of management skills and the way he marketed a very unique product. What may go down at the Survivor Series will be something that none of us will ever forget.
They took a look at the WWF Desire video, which featured the Undertaker, and Jim Ross had nothing but good to say about the Undertaker. Jim knew the Undertaker before he made it to the WWF, and he just knew that he would make it to the big time player in this business.
From the Vault: This week's From the Vault was from Survivor Series 1991 when the Undertaker defeated Hulk Hogan for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
The Coach and Jim Ross talked about the Survivor Series main event, and how much it means for the future of this business. The Coach thanked Jim Ross for stopping by, and he left the show.
