Jim Ross has updated his official blog in which he talks about CM Punk’s
legacy, the anniversary of Owen Hart’s death and more. Here are highlights:
On WWE’s Stock: “Seems like many members of the
IWC have become stock analysts. Where were you when I was evaluating my
portfolio? I am NOT a stock analyst but I do honestly feel that WWE stock will
eventually, and that’s sooner than later, be a solid, long term investment for
those who partake in the market. “
On the 15-Year Anniversary Of Owen Hart’s
Death: “Hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since the most
impactful day of my career occurred when Owen Hart fell to his death at the Over
the Edge PPV WWE produced in Kansas City. There isn’t a day that seemingly goes
by that I don’t think about Owen and that tragic accident in some way. I will
never be able to write an autobiography without talking about that night and I
dread going back and watching it to be able to better write about it. I have yet
to see a single second of footage from that event to this very day. Hopefully,
Owen will take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame some day and I can
only hope that I am around to see it happen.”
On CM Punk’s Legacy: “I was asked today by the
Chicago Tribune if @CMPunk deserved to be in the top 25 of the all time great
wrestlers. I said that all these “All Time Top” whatever lists are overly
subjective but my list would be the talents who I would want in my company if I
owned a wrestling organization. By the way, that will never, EVER, happen.
Nonetheless, I’d absolutely want Punk on my team so therefore under my criteria
he’s a top 25 guy. He’s too versatile, too skilled, an excellent hero or
villain, can talk, has a great work ethic and is one of the smarter minds I’ve
been around. I was also asked if CM Punk abruptly leaving WWE would adversely
affect his legacy. My answer, a simple ‘Hell, no.'”
