Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry, here are the
highlights…
On Rock Working WM 31: “Does it automatically mean because
Rock was in NYC Monday on business and he did a promo segment with Rusev that
the Great One is automatically ‘booked’ for WM31 in Santa Clara, California? The
next reason the Rock will be booked at WM31 is because his grandfather, the
great, High Chief Peter Maivia, wrestled in that territory for years for Roy
Shire. Rock delivered the magic that I assume Brian Gewirtz wrote for him. Don’t
get me wrong, the WWE could drastically use @TheRock at WM31 but only if there
was a valid story behind the match/return and if he could make enough RAW TV’s
to engage the audience in his rivalry even considering the ‘pop’ he received
Monday night in Brooklyn. The surprise visit by Dwayne Johnson Monday night was
by far the highlight of the broadcast. By far….”
On Rock’s Interaction With Rusev: “Many old school bookers
would have never allowed Rusev to be bounced around as he was Monday night but
instead would have had Lana step between the two men and ‘forced’ Rusev to exit
the ring.”
On Lesnar’s WWE Status: “Been reading where Brock Lesnar
is not expected back on WWE TV until January which I find extremely hard to
believe. Can that be true? If it is, I’m astonished.”
