WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his website and here are the highlights:
On AJ Styles on SmackDown Live this week:
“Enjoyed the AJ Styles content on SD Live and am not one to take issue with AJ’s booking at Wrestlemania versus Shame McMahon. AJ’s greatness will shine through in Orlando on April 2 and Shane’s alpha male personality will push him to be better than he likely actually is. This will end up being a better booking than many perceive plus it was, as the creative worked its way out, the best available option for, arguably, the best in ring talent in the world, AJ Styles, which is a whole other story. I look forward to watching these two do all that’s humanly possible to steal the show in Orlando. Nonetheless, I find that it could well be ill advised to try to hard to make AJ the old school villain in this matter. That’s not happening with today’s fans especially at Wrestlemania. The good news is that it isn’t necessary to have AJ the ‘heel’ as the personal issue is enough. BTW…in hindsight I would have nixed the camera inside the car Shane was driving as that sort of took me out of the moment.”
On Christopher Daniels – Adam Cole match at ROH’s 15 Anniversary PPV:
“Mentioned on our Podcast that the ROH PPV last Friday from Vegas set records on the FITE App. Congrats to both ROH and FITE for the success of the PPV that I enjoyed, by and large, from start to finish. When the main event like Daniels vs Cole delivered as they did to close the show, one can better understand just how great was that main event. The show closer had to follow EVERYTHING that preceded them which was no small feat if you saw the PPV.”
On NJPW – AXS TV relationship:
“Hoping to hear more good news regarding the potential of an enhanced relationship between AXSTV and NJPW soon. More exciting days between these two organizations could be on their way.”
