Jim Ross Reacts to James Ellsworth’s Involvement in Female MITB Ladder Match

WWE Hall Of Famer and longtime commentator Jim Ross has released another blog on his JR’s BBQ website to offer his thoughts on a variety of professional wrestling topics, including fan’s upset with some of the matches at the WWE’s Money In The Bank (MITB) pay-per-view (PPV), the end of the first ever female MITB Ladder Match, and the debut of Maria and Mike Kanellis. Here are the highlights:

Multiple finishes that fans weren’t happy with at MITB:

“Unlike some fans who follow me on Twitter (@JRsBBQ), and thanks if you do, I am more interested in execution and effort than I am the results of most matches including the MITB bouts Sunday night. This PPV was one primarily positioned to future developing storylines with SummerSlam in particular in WWE’s creative cross hairs.”

Ending of the first ever female MITB Ladder Match:

“James Ellsworth winning the MITB match for Carmella was controversial to say the least and one can likely expect that matter to be followed up on significantly on Tuesday’s SmackDown Live. Ellsworth could have a trip to the woodshed in his immediate future by a bevy of hostile ladies.”

The debut of Maria and Mike Kanellis:

“Endorse the hiring of Mike and Maria Kanellis, and Mike discarding his last name Bennett to take Maria’s name is a ‘Heat seeker’ and in a good way, in my opinion. Quality people added to the locker room is always a good thing.”
