WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry over at his website where he gives his thoughts on if he’ll be calling Wrestle Kingdom 10 and the WWE World Heavyweight tournament. Here are the highlights.
On if he’ll be calling Wrestle Kingdom 10:
Appreciate all the fans who enjoyed our work in January in Tokyo for Wrestle Kingdom 9 and I’d love to do it this year but I’m under the impression that isn’t happening even though we’re pushing for it to. It’s not a money issue for me as much as just being able to get back to ringside and to call some great pro wrestling matches.
Yes, I still the ‘itch’ to put the headsets back on and call some rasslin.
On the WWE World Heavyweight tournament:
The key to this tournament will be making sure that all the top stars that can be made available are in the tournament because in all reality who would NOT want to be the next WWE Title holder? With that said I’d leave John Cena off and perhaps even the Undertaker even though the Deadman would be an intriguing entrant. Obviously and unfortunately Randy Orton will not be in the tourney due to a shoulder issue and one has to wonder if the Authority does not ‘invite’ Brock Lesnar to compete in it as well.
No matter what is done in the tournament and because the entire presentation is so subjective, it seems likely that no matter what WWE does to address Rollins untimely injury that they will be damned if they do and damned if they don’t because so many die hard fans have a definitive view on how all this must go down where, as I’ve said repeatedly, there are several ways to skin this cat, so to speak.
