WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another blog update, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. The big news of the week is the Superstar Shake-Up, which kicks off tonight on RAW. JR has some ideas for how WWE can best utilize certain performers.
JR wants to see Luke Harper moved to RAW so he can contribute in a more significant way. Ross believes there’s “something there” with Harper, who he described as skilled, motivated and hungry. WWE has done a great job beefing up the tag team divisions of RAW and SmackDown and JR is particularly interested to see how those look after this week. Finally, JR ponders The Miz and Maryse moving to RAW, noting that they’re on the cusp of reaching the top tier of performers in WWE.
Every WWE talent should consider looking at this ‘Shakeup’ as the opportunity to hit the reset button in virtually all phases of their professional life. The smarter talents will do something to improve their game daily. Something. Daily. – Jim Ross
JR also commented on his future with WWE. News broke prior to WrestleMania that Ross signed a new 2-year contract with WWE and ‘those assignments are still being determined.’
I have no preference on what I do for WWE as I was pleased to simply be presented a ‘game jersey’ and to get back on the ‘team.’ – JR
In his younger days, he might not have been so easygoing and laid back with the uncertainty that lies ahead. However, WWE has treated him very well over the years and he’s eager to contribute to whatever WWE throws his way.
