WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. This blog featured JR’s thoughts on Monday’s RAW and the difficult task that WWE has each week filling a 3-hour show with compelling content. Jim Ross appears to be one of the many people who feel 3 hours is simply too much programming from WWE each and every Monday night:
“RAW had its moments from Manchester but 15 commercial breaks is a major issue unless the content has 16 segments of red hot content which is impossible to create. Trust me, it is impossible to produce 16 really good to great segments of TV wrestling in todays market with today’s talents performing under today’s rules of engagement.”
The main event segment, which featured CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, The Shield, the Wyatt Family and eventually the Usos and Rhodes brothers, showcased several talents that are on track to be the future of WWE:
“The closing segment of the show was compelling in my eyes. Several new ‘players’ got to make it to the magical last segment of Raw which has served many of the biggest manes in the business well.”
“So, I liked that some new bodies were involved in what is generally perceived as the money segment of the broadcast.”
“Now let’s see who takes the ball and does more than they are asked to do and pushes and shoves to the front of the line.”
Many fans were excited to see The Shield and the Wyatt Family cross paths, with Jim Ross being one of them:
“Have said all along that the Wyatt Family vs The Shield are lighting in a bottle and I’m hoping that there might be a significant match between the two entities at WM30.”
“There are 6 men involved in the Wyatt-Shield business and at least one or two need to separate from their peers and elevate up the cards. Who will it be?”
“These guys have been polished up in the WWE Performance Center and are being heavily counted on to be main event level stars much sooner than later.”
