Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry. Here are the highlights…
On The Raw Announce Team: Really enjoyed the guest commentator’s interaction on RAW Monday night featuring Zeb and Mark Henry joining the RAW team of Cole, Layfield, and Lawler. The contrast entertained me and it sparked some fun debate and opinion. Occasional, verbal fireworks at the announce table, when well timed, can really add to a show especially one that is three hours in length.
On Paul Heyman: Paul Heyman seemed to enjoy himself a little too much while watching Brock Lesnar ransack, intimidate and destroy WWE property all captured by @HeymanHustle himself. At one time I used to office in that same space after leaving Talent Relations and working in Business Strategies.
On Mark Henry vs. Sheamus: Mark Henry is one of the most intimidating and legit beasts in all of WWE and he “feels” it without question. The stout Texan isn’t playing a role. The World’s Strongest Man is who he says he is. Mark Henry is who we thought he was…thanks Denny Green. The aftermath of a strap..Country Whipping..type match can be long lasting. I stumbled through two of them ala a cow on ice once upon a time and enjoyed not a single minute of either. One has to swing for the fences with a leather strap for the integrity of the bout. The most sadistic guys that wielded a strap in my memory were the Freebirds who might have just liked the pain…just a little too much.Mark Henry is one of the most intimidating and legit beasts in all of WWE and he “feels” it without question.

On The Shield: Any one who can conclusively say who out of the Shield is going to spin out the trio and become THE top, singles star is zooming themselves. There are too many uncontrollable variables to factor into that equation to put all one’s cash on one talent. Why can’t all three become top, singles hands in time? I think that might be the goal. 🙂 But let’s not rush the process. Regarding the Shield, some wrestling fans have the patience of a 5 year old or maybe it’s just that there are 5 year old’s on Twitter bitching about every phase of creative.
