WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his website and here are the highlights:
On Samoa Joe facing Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire:
“@SamoaJoe getting his long awaited bout with Brock Lesnar is a stellar booking IMO and one that I endorsed at our RINGSIDE Show the night before WM31 in San Jose when Joe was my guest at our RINGSIDE Show. Some naysayers are already questioning this booking which is a head scratcher as some feel that Joe is being positioned for merely a one off against Lesnar which, if true, is not the end of the world by the way for anyone involved. I say that the Lesnar-Joe match will receive plenty of talk/hype over the next several weeks and that the two, physically demanding athletes will provide us a tremendous one on one main event in Dallas. I am personally looking forward to this match as much as any match I can recall this year and will tell you that it is an announcer’s dream to be privileged to call a bout like this. BTW…a verbal confrontation between @SamoaJoe and @HeymanHustle could be priceless.”
On Alexa Bliss:
“I compared Alexa Bliss personality and ‘feel’ to that of the late, great Buddy Rogers who was a undersized blonde who had miles of charisma and who people put their eyes on the minute that the original ‘Nature Boy’ walked through the curtain. Alexa has that same “I can’t take my eyes off of her” persona or so it seems. She and Bayley had a tough assignment with Kendo stick stipulation but they persevered.”
On The Miz becoming the Intercontinental Champion:
“No issues with the vastly improved @MikeTheMiz and his wife Maryse ascent back to the IC Title level with a win over Dean Ambrose that had some interesting ‘wrinkles’ throughout all built around that a DQ counts the same as a pin or submission stipulation.“
