WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with a new blog where he talks about Shinsuke Nakamura possibly changing his name, the Fastlane main event and more. You can check out the full blog entry here and also check out a few highlights below.
The Fastlane main event:
“Yes I expect that Roman Reigns will be booed at Fast Lane during his main event match versus Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose. I can’t explain this booking specifically if WWE still wants Reigns to be WWE’s #1 fan favorite. This booking makes me believe that major creative audibles may be called prior to Wrestlemania Texas. IMO Reigns is guaranteed to be jeered at Fast Lane and the question is will WWE use that organic, real response to provide the fans with what many want or will they steer the course and continue to attempt to establish what many vocal fans seemingly prefer.”
Shinsuke Nakamura possibly changing his name when he comes to WWE:
“I have no issues with WWE changing Shinsuke Nakamura’s ring name if they choose. WWE should own the talent’s names and/or have the legal rights to protect their intellectual property in the show biz world of pro wrestling. It’s sound business and won’t adversely affect how Nakamura gets over with the fans. In the eyes of many, mine too, Nakamura is one of the most gifted talents in the world and brings as much natural charisma to his presentation as any one in the business today.”
Fans preferring NXT over Raw:
“I think one reason that some vocal fans enjoy NXT more than RAW is that NXT is a easy, one hour watch plus the fact that the NXT TV format changes from time to time to fit that episode’s content. RAW’s format hasn’t changed much in 20 years which ought to answer any question asking if RAW’s format should be tweaked from time to time. That answer should be obvious.”
