J.R.’s most recent blog deals with the negative reactions he’s recieved to WWE’s product (and how he can’t do anything about it from a creative standpoint, since he’s not on the creative team), Danny Hodge, MMA, the next video game, the Rock, a cool Andy Kaufmann anecdote, and the possibility of Smackdown going live on Wrestlemania weekend.
He also devotes a decent amount of time to Smackdown‘s undercard, which is an interesting topic for the former man in charge of talent in WWE to talk about:
The highlight of Friday Night Smackdown was the two segment main event featuring HHH/Undertaker vs. Edge/Big Show that closed the broadcast. Hopefully other talents of the brand will rise up and make sure that they are noticed no matter their role on the show. I read an interview with Ric Flair recently where he said that the best advice he was given as a young wrestler was to take is 3-4-5 minutes of TV time and show every one why he was special. Trust me, it can be done and every second a talent is provided on TV is important no matter the talent’s role. It just seems to me, and this is a personal opinion, that some talents sense of urgency need to increase.
