WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his website and here are the highlights:
Calling UK Championship Match at NXT Takeover: Chicago:
“Can’t thank the fans enough for the amazing feedback that we received for our work on the WWE UK Championship special plus the UK Title match Nigel McGuiness and I called Saturday night in Chicago, both on the WWE Network. This entire experience for me starting on Wednesday with my return to WWE TV HQ after too many years away was extremely positive. Nigel McGuinness is a tremendous broadcast partner and for our first week together I felt that we did a solid job and that we will only get better with more ‘reps,’ Nigel has terrific instincts and product knowledge plus he ‘wants’ to be really good which always is imperative for one to have in this unique, broadcast entity. I hope that Nigel and I have many more opportunities together as we are both competitive types and are both still major fans of the genre.”
Shinsuke Nakamura:
Enjoyed the Shinsuke Nakamura outing on SDLIve. He got the spotlight nicely on SDLIve in an all star tag team feature. IMO, WWE fans have yet to see the true greatness of this charismatic, mat genius. Great days lie ahead for sure. Nakamura’s MMA training makes his strikes lethal.
Mae Young Classic:
“Excited to hear more details of the upcoming WWE Women’s Tournament in July on the WWE Network. I’m hopeful to be a part of this event. I love being involved in the ‘Ronda Rousey’ influenced combat and performance art genre involving women participants. And to think that my passion for women;s athletics all started with my fascination of softball pitcher Jenny Finch back in the day. No one changed channels with Jenny Finch was on the mound. BTW…I’d still love to ‘book’ Ronda Rousey versus a villain Charlotte at Wrestlemania in NOLA. Just saying…Fantasy Booking.”
