Jim Ross has posted his latest blog entry, Some highlights from this entry:
- Regarding Fit Finlay, Ross writes, "I like Fit Finlay’s in-ring work because he is tough, sound and knows how to wrestle. Lots of young wannabe wrestlers could benefit by watching the Irishman closely in the ring. Finlay is old school, but old school works today as well as it ever did."
- Concerning wrestling websites, Ross writes "Most wrestling website reporting is done thru their sources which are frequently some of the wrestlers themselves or others “on the inside”. Sources can be good or simply full of B.S. I have read scoops, that I have found out later were true, and I have read scoops that I knew without a doubt were baseless. If you notice these sites have to protect their sources, as rarely is anyone ever quoted. "
- Ross wrote the following about Edge: "I think Edge is one of the top-ten performers in the business today and if he stays healthy, Edge’s best days are still in front of him. Edge might become one of the premier color analysts when his wrestling days are done, if he wanted to pursue it."
- For the old school fans, Ross makes the following point: "Crockett Promotions always considered Worldwide Wrestling as their “A” show and NWA Pro as the “B” show. That was their positioning, not mine. I never liked playing on the “B team” in any thing I ever did, including wrestling commentary. Bob Caudle and I worked hard to make our show the best it could be, and I felt we more than held our own with Tony Schiavone and David Crockett."
- A Triple H update, "I hear that HHH is rehabbing like a madman and will be 100% sometime by this summer. HHH works as hard as any one I have been around and still has plenty of fuel left in the tank. As to whether DX will re-form when HHH returns is another question—and one I don’t have an answer for. My best guess would be that it would be 50/50."
- Regarding the women's division, Ross writes "I have no clue where women’s wrestling is heading or the shape it will take in the future. I do feel women’s wrestling definitely has a place within the business. The question will always be “steak or sizzle” and I tend to lean toward guessing that “sizzle” may win out at least in the short haul."
JR also writes about the possibility of Steve Austin vs. Shawn Michaels in the future, getting into the business, Lou Albano and much more. You can check out the full blog
