Jim Ross reports on WWE signing Mystico, shows his surly side

                                           Jimross_medium 

Good ol' JR recently updated his blog at JRsBarbq.com with the news that the WWE has recently signed Mexican lucha libre superstar Mystico to a contract. What followed next was a xenophobic address not seen in wrestling since Vince Russo's days in WCW, and he caps it off by letting that JR bitterness come shining through. 

"Saw where WWE reportedly signed Mystico, a talented Hispanic grappler, and here's hoping that he speaks fluent or at least understandable English because if he can't communicate with the English speaking fan base there is only so far any wrestlercan elevate. Any wrestler, especially those where English isn't their first language, who is not working on their verbal skills on their own time is cheating themselves out of cash. Sometimes I wonder how much work some wrestlers actually do when they are 'off' to enhance their careers other than their trips to the gym and the tanning salon. Perhaps a visit to a financial planner or a tax expert would be a good way to invest some time rather than shopping for more 'bling.'"

This would have made me so much more excited about 3 years ago. Still, he’s a good worker when he wants to be and this could end up being interesting.

I’m thinking this has to be their backup plan for when Rey finally forces them to fire him.

This is a different Mystico

This is not the Mistico that consistently sold out Arena Mexico. This guy worked much smaller shows, and changed his name to Incognito a few years back.

Mystico

This Mystico is actually a better worker than the CMLL Mistico. This guy could do some quality matwork and is a much more well rounded worker than CMLL’s Mistico. This Mystico they signed is probably healthier as well.

The trios from London that Mystico was involved in last year was probably the best lucha libre match of the 2008 and he looked spectacular.

Speaking English doesn’t guarantee lack of financial worries. Ric Flair speaks A-OK English and is basically broke.
