WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry over at his website where he gives his thoughts on Sunday’s TLC pay-per-view event. Here are the highlights.
On Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus:
Sheamus and Reigns went strong style in the WWE Title Match with TLC Rules. I’d certainly hope that logic prevails and neither wrestle tonight especially if Reigns is forced to wrestle in a handicap match for punishment which seems to be worn thin. The post match execution and presentation focusing on an outraged animal, Reigns, was the best Roman has arguably ever looked as a fan favorite. Hopefully, Reigns won’t wrestle tonight on RAW especially in the handicap, punishment matches that are often used or made to do any long promos on RAW. Think Eastwood, a badass dude who lets his actions do most of the talking.
HHH sold magnificently for what was being done to him. Text book example of how important ‘selling’ is today and forever in the wrestling business. The Reigns vs. Authority storyline feels a great deal like Austin-McMahon back in the day, but that formula worked because it was organic, logical and well executed. Can Roman and the Authority replicate with comparable success? If they can they that will solve many creative debates.
The follow-up on TV with Reigns is imperative Monday night on RAW. No room for error after last night. Momentum can be lost as quickly as it is earned.
On Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens:
Dean Ambrose beating Kevin Owens for the IC Title surprised me which is good. Let’s just hope that the championship isn’t treated like a hot potato and is passed around frequently. Can Ambrose be the one to actually make the title mean something? Let’s hope he gets a shot.
