WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry over at his website where he gives his thoughts on Monday’s episode of RAW. Here are the highlights.
On RAW:
This RAW felt ‘fresher’ than recent Monday nights. Seeing a different grouping of talents in the money segments that include the opening, at the top of each hour and the close of the show, indicates to me that WWE is looking at getting new talents more established at the top of their cards. Smart strategy as one can never plan for injuries and today’s style often times leads to more medical issues than, seemingly, in the past.
On Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens:
Loved the Cesaro vs Owens bout. Matches like this on a regular basis will help WWE make their three hour flagship show easier to watch. These talents told a good story, allowed the fans to process what they saw and they SOLD which is often times the missing ingredient to having a successful match or a spot fest.
Can Cesaro, over the long haul, rehabilitate the IC Title?
On Bray Wyatt:
Bray Wyatt as a character babyface is nothing but money as I’ve been filibustering for several months on The Ross Report podcast. The ‘Fire Fly’ entrance is a fan favorite one all the swy and when one encourages the fans to get involved and they do, then you’ve created a fan favorite without question. Really enjoyed Reigns hot tag to Bray and then what Wyatt did on his comeback. Good stuff. Organic. Things that one can’t be taught as it relates to passion/feel and timing.
