On Tuesday, WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross updated his official blog at JRsBarBQ.com and shared his thoughts on a number of current wrestling topics, including TNA’s recent troubles, Monday’s RAW and more.
Regarding the recent news about TNA moving their official company headquarters and the fact that the promotion is dealing with serious financial problems, JR pointed out that he is pulling for TNA to succeed, and offered a suggestion as to one thing they can do that might help.
“Apparently, things internally at TNA are challenging these days as they are moving out of their long time offices to consolidate into their warehouse while they are allegedly speaking with a potential buyer/investor for their company.” Ross said.
“TNA apparently needs an infusion of cash to help keep their company moving forward … If they do get an investor and initiate a restart of their brand I’d suggest that they change their name to give the ‘new brand’ a fresh start.”
Changing gears to last night’s RAW, there’s no doubt that the show had a very different feel from what we’ve grown accustomed to. Ross is on board with what we saw, noting, “Seeing a different grouping of talents in the money segments that include the opening, at the top of each hour and the close of the show, indicates to me that WWE is looking at getting new talents more established at the top of their cards.”
He added that WWE putting a wider variety of talent into the top storylines is a strategic move that will help the company break out of the creative slump we’ve seen in recent months.
