WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry over at his website where he gives his thoughts on tonight’s RAW. Here are the highlights.
On Monday’s RAW:
If WWE can get 3-4 things to really ‘stick’ with their viewers tonight on their three hour RAW from Brooklyn, they will earn a win. 3-4 things that will occur at Wrestlemania Texas that the fans can take with them from RAW should provide the impetus to get more fans to watch the biggest pro wrestling event of the year on the WWE Network. I will be watching via the WWE Network on my iPad in my Dallas hotel room. I’ll take plenty of notes and jot down observations of the show so that I can better contribute to Taz’s three hour CBS Radio extravaganza Sunday night from 11 pm ET-2 am ET on CBS radio stations nationwide.
On John Cena appearing on RAW:
I’d be shocked if John Cena wasn’t on RAW tonight considering that he’s in NYC today co-hosting the Today Show on NBC. He should be booked to cut a WM32 promo as John is a great salesman.
On WWE possibly having an offseason:
For those championing the cause that WWE needs an off season, are they taking into consideration the contractual obligations that WWE has with rights holders globally to produce new, first run programming on a weekly basis? Talents can be given ample off time without having to create an off season if the booking is better organized and efficiently interfaces with creative. It would tak ample planning but it can be done. I do agree that talents need more off time to rest and regenerate.
However, the reason for many injures is not solely on the schedule but also lies at the feet of the amount of ‘bumps’ talents take and the high risk element that many of these ‘car crashes’ entail. Work smarter and sell more which will lessen the need for so many insane scenarios.
