Jim Ross Talks WWE Raw, CM Punk Announcing, John Cena’s Best Promo, Miz as WWE Champion, King of the Ring

Jim Ross…

On Cena: John Cena arguably delivered his best ever promo Monday night on Raw as it felt naturally organic and truly reality based.

On The Miz: I’ve been touting Miz for months on this site as a future big time player and one that I felt several months ago would be in the main event mix at Wrestlemania in Atlanta. Looks like that may well happen now. As for Miz being WWE Champion and specifically for all the naysayers, I suggest that you allow this matter to evolve more than just a few hours before damning it.

Antagonist champions who are physically beatable on any given night and who have talented albeit annoying verbal skills are a nice persona traits for a successful champion to have.

On King of the Ring: If one likes episodically produced TV, which is what pro wrestling was built on and is based upon, then watching the return of the King of the Ring tournament which starts and ends, I assume, in one night is episodic TV in it’s most basic form.

An issue starts, it’s cultivated and then it concludes with a payoff all in one night.

On CM Punk Announcing: Punk is a bright guy who is extremely talented in the ring because he worked so diligently to achieve becoming a main eventer and he should be able to accomplish the same thing at the announce table if he works at announcing the same way he worked at becoming an wrestler. It won’t happen over night but I wish CM Punk all the success in the world and enjoy his quick wit.
