WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross published a new blog on jrsbarbq.com today talking about his future as a wrestling broadcaster, previewing the Money in the Bank PPV, and discussing other topics in the news.

-- Ross said he would like to have a final broadcast on wrestling TV at some point. He also talked about believing he can contribute on the air "somewhere down the road."

"Yes I would like to have a 'last broadcast' which isn't too unique for any broadcaster but if I don't I sure won't have any regrets regarding my career," Ross said. "No, I do not want or deserve a Flair-like retirement presentation. Those types of presentations should be strictly reserved for wrestlers in my humble opinion. Plus, I might have a few more miles in the tank I can use somewhere down the road."

-- Ross talked about younger wrestlers having a chance to step up at Sunday's Money in the Bank PPV. Ross will be backstage at the event as part of his return to the road for WWE's monthly PPVs.

"Lots of younger, up and coming performers will get the opportunity to impress Sunday night and as I have always said most talents can't control their minutes so I suggest that they make the most out of the time they're afforded," Ross said. "I have high expectations for this PPV and hope that it over delivers."

-- Ross said he's not buying the proposed Bobby Lashley vs. Dave Batista MMA fight yet. Batista has yet to officially make a transition to MMA that could potentially lead to the match-up of former WWE wrestlers.

"I'll believe the rumored Batista-Lashley PPV fight when I see it," Ross said. "Not trying to be overly pessimistic here but so much has to evolve for that fight to occur that I don't see it as a 'lay-up.' If the fight does come off, I'll certainly watch it and Lashley would be the heavy favorite."

-- Ross reflected on the death of Bruiser Brody, who was killed in Puerto Rico 22 years ago this weekend. It's certainly worth reading Ross's blog for an in-depth discussion of his history with Brody.

"I miss Frank and am saddened every year around this time when his untimely and unnecessary death is often discussed and remembered," Ross said.
