Jim Ross posted his latest blog at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights:
The New Day:
“Really curious as to how ‘New Day’ is going to be accepted by the fans once they are launched officially IE in earnest. Today’s fans don’t seem to be too willing to provide second chances. I’d surmise that dressing in Carolina Blue and espousing such positivity that today’s wrestling fan may be a little hard on the talented trio who I happen to like personally and professionally. These three need to be special and draw positive attention to themselves by what they do in the ring and how they present themselves. If it’s the same old stuff, it won’t work. This sis where talents need to brainstorm and strategize on what they can do differently while they are being repackaged.”
The Ascension vignettes on RAW:
“Interesting Ascension vignettes…almost Road Warrior-esque which will be interesting to see how the audience accepts. WWE needs a hot, fan favorite tag team for Ascension to come in and ravage to get the fan’s attention.”
His latest podcast with Vader:
“Leon [White, a.k.a. Vader] has had an amazing career both in North America and abroad especially in Japan where he was one of the most prolific wrestlers to ever perform in that country. It’s hard to say if there has ever been a more athletic big man ie super heavyweight than Big Van Vader. I think that you will find Leon’s story very interesting.”
