JR’s Blog: Monty Brown, Sting, Terkay & More

News

Jim Ross has posted some new email responses on his blog. Some excerpts from this post:

I met Monty Brown Monday night in Chicago. He seemed like a nice young man and is very athletic. Whether he signs with the WWE, I would recommend it, or not is Monty and the WWE’s call.

Sting is a class act and a wonderful human being. I am sure he will make a great champion. There is still plenty of fuel left in his tank from what I hear.

Sylvest Terkay has obviously all the physical tools he needs to be a great star. The question remains if Terkay has the desire in his heart to be the absolute best in his field. I have seen lots of guys who have the body but not the commitment to be superstars. I hope Terkay doesn’t fall in that category at the end of the day.

There are several good prospects in the WWE developmental system but most, from what I am told, are 6-12 months away from being called up. Obviously that could change. There is no long line of “blue Chippers” out there though and that is a concern of mine.

And freom this one:

Injuries and, again, a lack of quality depth will not allow the aggression today that the old ECW featured. If every match is a hardcore match, then very soon that particular style of match loses it uniqueness and becomes “normal” viewing. The human body will not hold up to the demands for bigger and more dangerous maneuvers as the beloved and classy “Holy S***” moment.
