Mantell Addresses His "New Job" As Zeb Colter

After resurfacing in WWE last month as the vocal Zeb Colter following years of dormancy from mainstream wrestling television, Dutch Mantel has broken his silence on his affiliation with Vince McMahon's organization. 

"Hey guys...sorry I haven't been around much but since I've gotten a 'new job' I've been running like crazy," wrote Mantell on Facebook. "There's not enough time in the week to handle all the things now. I'm not leaving, I'm just having to back out for a while. I'm the same guy...just with a different perspective now." 

Mantell then asked his Facebook friends to continue supporting this online campaign raising impaired driving awareness in support of his late granddaughter, Amanda, who instantly died last summer due to a head-on collision with an impaired driver. Her automobile collided with a car driven by a man named John Perkins, "who had decided to get high on a mix of Oxycontin, Xanax, and Meth and then drive." Mantell however, does not acknowledge associate Jack Swagger's arrest last month on charges of driving under the influence, marijuana possession, and speeding. 

"Keep supporting Amanda and the cause and I promise, I'll be back soon with the Dutchism's and the BS," Mantell wrote. "I have a lot of great stories to tell...funny how life changes. What a story. I'll keep it until the next book. You won't believe it. Take care...keep watching. This could get very interesting."

JR Blog: Swagger vs. Jericho, Austin Going to Mexico

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with a new blog on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights: 

- @steveaustinBSR about to head to Mexico to tape season three of CMT's Redneck Island and then onto his ranch in south Texas to start a new, reality show for CMT taped on the Broken Skull Ranch. Plus, the Texas Rattlesnake and devout JR's BBQ Sauce and Chipotle Ketchup user is about to step into the world of weekly podcasts. Stay tuned and follow Steve on Twitter for more info. 

- Helluva match on Friday Night Smackdown between @RealJackSwagger and @IAmJericho. Jericho brings out the best in everyone he faces, which is a legit artform on the grappling canvas, and the former Division One, two sport athlete Swagger is getting better each week. Swagger's addition of veteran Zeb Colter to his presentation has been positive from the young Oklahoman's development. 

- Still getting some lingering feedback regarding @CMPunk interrupting The Undertaker's tribute to the late, Paul Bearer Monday night. Again, I did not and do not have a problem with it especially considering that WWE honored the memory of my late friend throughout the night. For PB to be involved in another major, storyline leading into WrestleMania, would have thrilled him to no end. Villains do bad things and usually get their comeuppance in the end. Time will tell on the latter as it relates to Punk ending 'The Streak' which would be as big a defining moment as when the Ultimate Warrior beat Hulk Hogan at WM6, in the eyes of some. 

- Was asked about if there was something that I could do over in my career what would it be. There aren't too many things because I'm a believer that things happen for a reason and we generally get what we have earned in life. However, I would love to have a 'do over' on my part of the call of @ShawnMichaels vs. @NatrBoyRicFlair bout. They deserved better from me at WM24. Perhaps I was TOO invested in the retirement match. However, no excuses just wish I had nailed it better.

Zeb Colter Rants on Jericho

Zeb Colter hyped the Chris Jericho vs. Jack Swagger main event for Friday's SmackDown on Twitter:

"WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER OUTSIDER...A CANADIAN, CHRIS JERICHO. HE'S NO DIFFERENT THAN DEL RIO. WATCH SMACKDOWN THIS FRIDAY. JERICHO "CLAIMS" HE WAS BORN IN THE US. I HAVE REQUESTED A BIRTH CERTIFICATE. HE FAILED TO PRODUCE ONE. HE'S JUST LIKE DEL RIO. #wethepeople"

Concern Over Jack Swagger & Zeb Colter Storyline

Vince McMahon has been a fan of the Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter storyline but word at RAW last night was that there's a lot of concern about the angle and its future. The program was originally designed to be a long-term feud to help get Del Rio as a babyface but those plans may be changing. There's a feeling that the angle is not getting over on WWE TV but Zeb and Swagger are getting heat at live events.
