WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog update, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what he said about:
Edge & Christian Hosting RAW: “Two of my favorite signees, Edge and Christian, will be the co-hosts for Monday night RAW this week. Two great talents who were always total pros and a credit to the business. Any promotion is well served having athletes of high character in their locker room like these two Canadian lads who are both appearing on the SyFy production of Haven these days with Adam Copeland a regular. Both Edge and Christian had excellent instincts, were students of the game who kept their heads in the game and worked diligently to evolve into major, long term, main event stars in WWE.”
Brock Lesnar’s WWE Future: “More and more folks that I speak with about MMA feel that Brock Lesnar will head back to UFC when his WWE obligations are fulfilled which will be after WM31. I have no dog in the hunt nor do I know any thing but I’d lean that same way. Bellator will likely make Brock a significant offer but UFC is home for Brock in the MMA world and I know that Dana White and Brock have a good relationship. With that said Lesnar is all about the money, so who truly knows but Brock? All this gossip is why I can see WWE possibly doing some bold things with the WWE World Title come the Royal Rumble to get folks buzzing and to increase the viewership at WrestleMania 31. ”
The Ascension: “The pair had a quasi, Road Warrior look in some of their vignettes. I’ve seen them in action and they have a chance to help the WWE tag team scene. My biggest concern if that if the fans think that the new duo is trying to recreate the LOD, today’s vocal fan base might not approve….but then again….. ”
There’s much more to this blog update, including hype for Saturday’s Wrestle Kingdom 9 pay-per-view, JR’s podcast and more.
