WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com.
The Top Matches At WrestleMania 29:
What really is the main event of WM29? From a marketing standpoint the answer is obvious, @TheRock defending the WWE Title against @JohnCena…without question and hands down.
However, that doesn’t mean that particular bout, which has the heavy responsibility of likely closing the near, four hour show, is dancing alone.
Many fans are just as interested to see if ‘The Streak’ survives another year. Obviously, @CMPunk and @HeymanHustle feel that it won’t and that Father Time and Punk’s unique skill set can derail the most impressive accomplishment ever earned on the grandest stage of them all.
Others are intrigued to see if #TripleH can derail the PPV performing juggernaut Brock Lesnar in a match driven by an intense, personal issue. Will Lesnar’s MMA skills be too much for the Cerebral Assassin to handle? I am very anxious to see the strategies utilized by both men which obviously are going to be dictated by the stipulations of the match.
WrestleMania 29 Undercard
There’s lots of star power still uncommitted officially to the WrestleMania lineup so the issue of “Where is the under card?” is a non issue to me. It’s there and I feel it will be significant.
So, in a nutshell, tonight’s Pittsburgh RAW should be a revealing and telling broadcast as WM29 gets ever so close. As usual, don’t miss the start of the broadcast as it usually sets the tone for the evening.
The under card is very important to the entire presentation without question. But will those important albeit non main event level bouts adversely affect the number of buys that WM29 gets on PPV? My guess is no.
Scott Hall & Jake Roberts’ Recovery:
Very proud of the support of so many fans who are helping Scott Hall put his body, his mind and his life back together. DDP and others, including Sean Waltman, are to be commended to helping Scott get his life and health in order just as DDP has been doing with Jake ‘the Snake’ Roberts. Let’s pray for success for both these men who have been richly blessed with the ability to entertain fans for years. Both Jake and Scott have so much to offer others, especially in the wrestling business, and well beyond.
