The following are highlights of the latest blog by WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross:
On NXT Takeover 2: “The match quality and the the flow of the NXT show was well produced and organized. The matches, by and large, were allowed time to tell the best story that they could. The matches that were being counted on to deliver certainly did. Especially impressed with the women’s match and how it was laid out and executed. Good stuff by all involved. Bailey is evolving very well and Charlotte is simply ‘special’ and so naturally athletic. Her nuances are far beyond someone with her experience level. My only hope is that Flair’s daughter doesn’t get any more tat’s. Small point but it was something that I noticed. She has the chance, tats or not, to be a true star on the main roster much sooner than later.”
On the main event at NXT Takeover 2: “Thought the main event, fatal four way, which can be a cluster, was well booked and executed. All the talents in this match plus the producers who put it together deserve a big time attaboy. Lots of effort and a nice story was told. Several unique agendas were touched on in this contest which is the mark of solid booking. Tyson Kidd once again demonstrated why he is one of the most under utilized talents in WWE IMO. Sami Zayn has been stellar since day one in NXT and has a bright future ahead of him. the Lance Storm trained Tyler Breeze has a great, TV persona and has every heel trait one could want in a talent. He gets it. Adrian Neville continues to remind me of a young, Tommy Billington which is a good thing as it relates to his in ring work and he, too, has a future on the WWE main roster at some point in time.”
On Bobby Heenan: “Thoughts go out to the great, Bobby Heenan who apparently has suffered a broken hip to add to his other physical challenges. I love ‘The Wease’ who was one of my all time favorite people with which to work in my 40 year career. No one in the business that I’ve seen or read about was better than Bobby when it came to wrestling, managing, and being a TV commentator. When he was on, no one could touch him and he took bigger and better bumps than any manager that I ever saw. Plus, his natural sense of timing in the ring and on the mic were unsurpassed.”
