The following is credit to Buck Woodward over at www.pwinsider.com .
A fan, known only as Logan, lambasted Jim Ross in an e-mail a bit ago. Yelling at him for, but not limited to, not appearing at Raw in Dallas [JR had a DR appt], less-than flattering comments made by Jesse Ventura, and JR not attending their most recent trip to Iraq [he stepped forward, but they wanted Cole to go. No word on if they were hoping for a road-side bomb with Cole].
Jim Ross fired back, stating;
“Logan also said he spend 5, whole minutes with Jesse Ventura once upon a time and that Ventura told him that “Jim Ross was selfish and only cared about himself.” That must be accurate because it was uttered by the former Governor of Minnesota who’s NEVER been known to embellish a story or “break his arm patting himself on the back” as Gorilla Monsoon often said about Jesse. For the record, in the politically volatile world of pro wrestling if one doesn’t look out for one’s self then one can easily be taken advantage of and kicked to the curb for a variety of reasons or for no reasons. So, perhaps at the end of the day many of the “survivors” within pro wrestling have to be a little selfish to make it long term. I am indeed a survivor.
Also, I assume that when I take the time to sign things that fans send us, not associated with a purchase, etc that I am being selfish. I assume that all the Make A Wish visits that I have been involved with over the past many, many years makes me selfish as well. I might be a lot of things but being egocentrically selfish isn’t one of them.
Plus, I personally don’t care what Jesse Ventura thinks about me. He was great in his day as a wresting broadcaster but I wouldn’t consider him to be one of my favorite partners. I am not taking any thing away from Ventura’s talent but I had partners that I felt were better while working with me including Lawler, Heyman, and Cornette.”

One has to wonder why on earth JR even gave a hoot about this guy. The name Logan is suspicious, though. If you take the L from the term “Leg Drop” remove the H from “Hogan”, and replace it with the L, you get…you guessed it, Logan. Oh snaps. I bet he knows about Area 51 too. Damn you, Hulkster.
