Jim Ross On Which Match Should Close SummerSlam, Recent WWE Suspensions And More

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with his latest blog where he talks about SummerSlam, the recent WWE suspensions and more. You can check out the full entry here along with some highlights below.

Which match should close SummerSlam: I’d close Summer Slam with Lesnar vs Orton as it features a star from both the RAW and Smackdown Live brands in a extremely high profile bout.  I figure that Brock wins this one but if Randy wins with a RKO I won’t be shocked but admittedly will be surprised. Some can make an argument that Orton should win because he’s a full time talent while Lesnar is not and I won’t debate that point but this card is loaded with matches that could go either way and as the old adage goes there are multiple ways to do something right and that  prevails up and down this card IMO.

Ambrose vs. Ziggler: I see Dean Ambrose likely retaining the WWE title against Dolph Ziggler but not before Ziggler pushes Ambrose to Dean’s best match thus far in WWE. This match could go a long way to remove the less than ideal taste in the mouths of many after Ambrose’s sit down with Steve Austin after RAW last week. Ambrose did not have an ideal night with Stone Cold but can right any perceived wrongs by tearing the house down Sunday night. For the record, anyone can have an off night as I’ve had an abundance of them in my career.

Recent WWE suspensions: It is a good thing that WWE has a Wellness Program because it’s obvious that many of today’s wrestlers would not legislate themselves if they had the opportunity or so it seems. I hope that none of the recent wellness violators have lingering, serious drug problems but if they do the WWE will help them as they have so many others and on the WWE dime. Adults, especially those that are blessed to earn large sums of money in their chosen profession, should know better if they are busted for partying. If they are popped for using supplements with banned ingredients and they were not aware those supplements were on the banned list  then that is another matter all together but a violation nonetheless.
