WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with his latest blog where he talks about Brock Lesnar’s big match with Randy Orton at SummerSlam and more. You can check out the full entry here along with some highlights below.
Thoughts on The Final Deletion: “Talk across the internet regarding ‘Final Deletion’ featuring the Hardy Boys Tuesday night on TNA Impact Wrestling on Pop TV which earned the beleaguered company their biggest TV rating on Pop. The 18 minute, pre taped vignette was certainly unique, novel approach to what we are accustomed to seeing on contemporary, pro wresting TV.
Hopefully this presentation will not lead to every wrestling company in the land attempting to do similar, copy cat productions which will take the product farther away from a fundamentally sound in ring product than it already is.
At the end of the day I remain proud of Matt Hardy for hatching this concept and the TNA TV crew for capturing it and the editing which I thought was compelling. Loved the on going music bed throughout the vignette plus Jeff Hardy is still one of the most unique athletes in the entire business and the handle of “The Unique Enigma” that I hung on Jeff years ago still is applicable.”
Brock Lesnar’s match with Randy Orton at SummerSlam: “If he’s healthy, apparently Lesnar will face Randy Orton in a high level, main event bout at Summer Slam in August for WWE. Don’t overreact to Orton’s lingering issues with shoulder issues as it relates to Lesnar’s suplexes as that is only one phase of Brock’s arsenal and against Orton the game plan might change to sme degree but the two men who we signed back in the day will have a helluva Summer Slam bout.”
