WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently updated his official blog with thoughts on a number of big topics. Below are some highlights.
On Mayweather-Pacquiao: “Still going with @FloydMayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao but if it works out that Manny wins a split decision or with a shocking KO, a second fight would be in order meaning even MORE money for all involved. That second fight would be a hit in AT&T Stadium which is the home of WrestleMania 32 and the Dallas Cowboys. The chance to sell 100,000+ tickets is too good to not consider. If there is no controversy tonight in Vegas, I will be shocked.”
On Ronda Rousey vs. Stephanie McMahon: “For those putting down my idea of @RondaRousey vs. Stephanie McMahon for WM32 your logic is a head scratcher to me. I see it as a no brainer and potentially one of the biggest “attraction matches” ever in WWE. The villain stacks the deck and the heroine overcomes. It’s a 10-15 minute presentation bell to bell and it would sell tickets, WWE Network subscriptions and garner amazing media coverage. Yes, I know that UFC head honcho Dana White as said no but is that merely laying the ground work for an arrangement for UFC to cut a deal with WWE to promote UFC PPV’s on the WWE Network at some point in the future? Lots of things can change between now and early 2016.”
On The Rock: “Happy Birthday to @TheRock who has achieved unparalleled success since we signed him to a WWE Contract back in the day and where he was “discovered” by Hollywood. He told me on day one that he was going to be “your top guy” and he wasn’t being arrogant but merely confident and believing in himself. Rock is living proof that good things happen to good people who refuse to finish second. WWE hasn’t had any two talents with more natural chemistry than Rock and Austin who headlined three, WrestleMania events.”
