JR Blog: Punk and Merriman on Twitter, Younger Wrestlers, Tonight’s RAW

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has a new blog up on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights:

 


 

– I’m anticipating some interesting ‘competition’ Monday night on Raw as the show stealer, Shawn Michaels, returns to live TV to, apparently, address HHH regarding HIAC at WM28. Point being is that last week’s Raw ended with the memorable verbal confrontation between Rock and John Cena and knowing how much HHH and HBK enjoy main event status, who will stand out the most in Boston?

– What do you make of the Shawn Merriman twitter war with CM Punk? If Merriman’s NFL career is on the ropes it’s likely a way of garnering attention for the talented albeit controversial athlete. Perhaps Merriman is looking for a WWE career.

– Why are so many young wrestlers so ‘cookie cutter?’ Likely many reasons…a lack of ‘it’…not enough confidence in their own abilities to take needed chances…no viable, weekly territories to help them develop the needed 5 or so years. Or, it could be how they are coached or respond to their coaching. It could be many things or combinations of factors. I happen to think that FCW has some outstanding prospects currently in training and how they respond and adapt when they are called up remains to be seen.
