WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross posted the latest blog on his JRs Bar-B-Q website; this entry features JR review some RAW events, today’s wrestling fans relating to talent, the potential of a TNA / Global Force Wrestling / Ring Of Honor relationship, and much more. You can read a few excerpts below:
Ross on the Cena/Cesaro match on RAW:
Loved the Cena vs. Cesaro match but wasn’t overwhelmed with how it ended. Nonetheless the match itself was excellent and showed that Cesaro is one of he best talents in the entire business and is certainly an untapped talent within the WWE, IMO. The United States Title Open Challenge by Cena is one of the best things that WWE has done creatively in a good while. I’ve enjoyed it every week.
JR on talent getting over with today’s fans:
Today’s wrestling fans seem to have a short attention span for many things but the one thing that they can all relate to is a wrestler getting ‘hot’ and getting on the proverbial roll. That’s why, in any promotion, that 50-50- booking helps no one. Many fans emotionally disconnect when they see illogical in ring maneuvers which are generally the fault of the talents and less than solid fundamental skills. All talents wold be better serve to only do what they can execute well and believably.
JR on the potential relationship between TNA/GFW/ROH:
I’m of the mindset that ROH, TNA and GFW should have a civil, working relationship to some degree as adding their various assets together in a timely fashion might help all three organizations and might even encourage more viewers to find Destination America. Talent trades, interpromtional storylines, invasion type situations, and freshening up their rosters can’t hurt any thing. The question is and wil always be can all the egos be checked at the door for the good of the business and the fans?
