Jim Ross was not working on Monday Night Raw so was able to catch both shows on Monday Night. He had some unique viewpoints on both shows.
On Bret/Shawn Confrontation:
The chemistry and magic between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart still exists after all these years. It’s another illustration that “personal issues” are the life’s blood of the wrestling business. This particular “personal issue” has been simmering for 12 years and I still felt like an emotionally invested fan watching it.
On Bret/Vince McMahon Main Event Segment:
The McMahon-Bret confrontation was well done especially planting the seed early and keeping me hooked until the end of the show for the payoff plus adding some spice to the dish in between.
On Jeff Hardy:
It surprised me to see Jeff Hardy on Spike TV Monday night which I am sure will get some fans talking and critics/pundits asking a great deal of questions. I’m a Jeff Hardy fan and I wish him well. Jeff had a great tenure in WWE and considering that I signed him and his brother Matt to their first WWE contracts I will always consider the Hardy brothers as being special. As Hall of Fame Coach Barry Switzer once told me, “Once you recruit a player you recruit them for life.
On Ric Flair:
Knowing how much Ric Flair still enjoys wrestling I was not shocked to see Ric on another channel Monday night. The WWE gave Ric the greatest send-off/retirement presentation that I have ever witnessed but nonetheless “Naitch” has wrestling running through his veins and he’s going lace ’em up until he simply can’t do it any longer. Ric Flair has been my friend for about 30 years and I wish him well in what ever he does in his career.
Overall not much controversial from JR but seemingly an honest view on what he did post about.
