WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with his latest blog where he talks about Paige’s WWE status and more. You can check out the full entry here along with some highlights below.
Paige returning to WWE: Good to hear that Paige is returning to work at WWE as she’s one of my favorite women athletes in WWE. She’s grown up in the wrestling biz and has many organic instincts that can’t be easily taught. I hope that she can make her way back and get back to the business of what she came to America to do. She’s young and it would be so unfortunate if she had to go elsewhere to work in the biz as WWE offers her much more money and exposure than any one else IMO.
The Cruiserweight Classic: WWE did a terrific job in launching the development some new, athletically talented stars during their presentation of the Cruiserweight Classic. There is absolutely no reason that these new talents can’t ‘get over’ if they continue to work on improving their game, further developing in ring psychology and are creatively supported to allow them to do what they do best and that is seemingly inside the ring, bell to bell at this time.
CM Punk’s future with UFC: Because of the success that CM Punk brought to UFC 203 and, more importantly, the PPV buys, I don’t find it creatively impossible to to see Punk continue training, and be utilized by UFC in another fight, and/or other tv opportunities as he has an audience that will seemingly support his new, MMA endeavors. There is likely additional, new monies in Punk even after his loss as his ‘story’ can easily be continued on TV.
If the UFC faithful could find a way to embrace Punk to some degree, the U/fc might discover that they have a potentially, excellent broadcaster on their hands.
