WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with his latest blog where he talks about the Chris Jericho/Brock Lesnar altercation at SummerSlam and more. You can check out the full entry here along with some highlights below.
The Chris Jericho/Brock Lesnar altercation at SummerSlam: Heard of the apparent Chris Jericho- Brock Lesnar ‘dust up’ at Summer Slam after the Lesnar vs Orton bout. Jericho speaking his mind about what transpired and with Brock taking predicted exception to said verbiage from Y2J. Some times it truly is ‘the boys will be boys’ scenario as I expect was the case here. Nice to see that both men still carry that kind of passion regarding their work.
People saying Seth Rollins is dangerous: Equally insane is the internet ramblings that Seth Rollins is “dangerous” in the ring because X number of wrestlers have been injured during matches with him. I don’t agree with these accusations but I do encourage Rollins and virtually all of today’s main players in the business to slow down a half a gear and while doing so it will likely reduce the chance of injuries somewhat but note that nothing will ever remove the issue of injuries from the equation. Plus, that reduced half step always gives the talents more opportunity to perfect the required subtleties of being a great in ring performer I.E. facial expressions, body English, and SELLING, in general.
Finn Balor’s injury: Unfortunate news regarding the shoulder injury, I heard labrum, to the first WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor that will require surgery and him missing approximately six months of ring time. The only way to productively and positively get through this period of physical therapy for both the talent and the company is to devise a plan to keep the fans engaged in Finn’s rehab and his “journey back.” This will build a level of anticipation that can be a major asset to Balor’s return. Plus, Balor and WWE both know what they have with each other so the self doubt whether Balor can be a main eventer or not seemingly has been addressed on the parts of both the talent and the company.
