Jim Ross has updated the blog section of his
official website. He praised TNA, criticized Lucha
Underground and more. Here are highlights:
On Undertaker vs. Mick Foley at Hell in a Cell: “My
feature for foxports.com will be posted next week and the focus is the Hell in a
Cell match between Taker and Mick Foley in 1998 which is arguably the most
memorable match in the history or WWE and if it’s not it is certainly in the top
five. Mick told me the one thing that he never did that he wanted to do was drop
an elbow off the top of the TV production truck onto another vehicle. During the
research aspect of the piece Taker said he originally wanted nothing to do with
the spot where he tossed Mick off the top of the Cell but that Mick was very
persuasive with his idea to both the Deadman and Vince McMahon. I think that you
will enjoy the feature and I will tweet out the link when it becomes
available.”
On TNA iMPACTY! Wrestling: “Impact Wrestling is providing
their fans with a much more enjoyable product by not over thinking their
creative, exploiting their talents’ strengths (the in ring content) and doing
their best to hide talents weaknesses. It’s not rocket science and by
eliminating un-needed skits and marathon promos the two hour broadcast has
became a really enjoyable show by and large. I’m hopeful as all wrestling fans
should be that Impact Wrestling finds a welcoming TV home for 2015.
On Lucha Underground: “Saw the Lucha Underground trailer
and still don’t understand why they feel compelled to mention WWE stars in the
trailer or why every wrestling company alive, seemingly, feels like they have to
have a villain, administrative figure. No one will ever top Mr. McMahon in that
role and every one who attempts it in that form are going to fall short. HHH and
Stephanie do a terrific job in the Authority role but those two having conflicts
would add to the presentation and make the role more contemporary.”
