WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog at JRsBarBQ.com with his thoughts on last night’s Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view.
Regarding the TLC main event unification match, JR said he “sincerely appreciated” the hard work from John Cena and Randy Orton.
“TLC sounds great on paper and makes for a sensational video promo but the match stips can be very limiting. Based on today’s boundaries, I thought that the two men did all that they could do to utilize the ‘toys’ that they had to play with but at the end of the day I’d have been just as happy to have seen a straight wrestling match considering what was at stake.”
Ross also spoke about the importance of protecting the importance of WWE’s championship titles.
“Building enhanced credibility for the new, WWE World Title is going to be an ongoing matter that will never find its work finished. Nothing should be more important to any WWE talent, friend or foe, than being WWE World Champion. Being the Champion becomes a great story if the title is positioned properly and on a lofty pedestal.”
Ross noted that one thing UFC does better than WWE is making all of their belts prestigious.
“The door is now open for that to change within WWE including repositioning the IC Title and the US Title. Why have titles if they are not coveted by all who are eligible to compete for them? Plus, they are not ‘hot potatoes.’ The bottom line is that building equity in any title sells tickets and PPV’s.”
