WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his website and here are the highlights:
On WWE being interested in Conor McGregor:
“McGregor is the “King of the World” right now and would likely be on top of WWE’s ‘hit list’ to be a future Wrestlemania celeb participant. He’d likely cost them “Tyson Money” to get the deal done but it’s obvious that the talented Irishman is a businessman who covets the big money. Nothing wrong with that by the way, Plus, Conor sells tickets and PPV’s.”
On tonight’s RAW:
“Huge Monday Night Raw this week as Goldberg, Lesnar and Heyman will all be on the show I’m told. Anxious to see where WWE places these three on the show but it seems like it could easily go on last as it should certainly hold the audience or so I think. If it can’t hold the audience, there there is a problem, right?”
On the Cruiserweight division:
“Still continue to read where some pundits and fans are growing impatient regarding how fast WWE is establishing their new, Cruiserweight division. I need to see more of the talents outside the ring and to get to know those that actually possess a personality suitable for prime time TV. I am all for his grouping of athletes but many folks need to simply develop that rare trait known as patience when dissecting this matter. Much like the brand split, I think that it will be April 2 in Orlando at Wrestlemania before we can truly and intelligently evaluate the success, or not, of that venture. When we see what each brand donates to the WM33 card, we will be better suited to declare our thoughts on the brand separation….at least that’s my two cents.”
