Jim Ross Blog: JR Chimes in on John Cena vs. The Rock, Ultimate Warrior vs. Kevin Nash, Beth Phoenix vs. Chelsea Handler, More

News

In JR’s latest blog post, JR was asked questions from Twitter followers ranging from the Ultimate Warrior vs. Kevin Nash to Beth Phoenix vs. Chelsea Handler:

On John Cena vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 28:

What do I see in the @JohnCena vs. @TheRock bout in Miami at WM28? This is really hard to call as it relates to a winner or a loser and honestly the outcome isn’t something that I dwell upon. But the expectations for this match will be off the page much like a Super Bowl. the two talents will be expected to raise the bar to a lofty level which puts amazing pressure on both men. I’d love to see this match exceed expectations and expect both to prepare diligently to make the music that we’ll remember for years to come. Again, expectations for the WM28 main event are through the roof.

On last week’s confrontation between the Ultimate Warrior and Kevin Nash:

What’s my take on @RealKevinNash and Warrior’s verbal issues? Not sure what prompted it but they will likely NEVER have an official, physical confrontation. It did provide some entertaining exchanges during a slow news week.

On the idea that Beth Phoenix would wrestle comedian Chelsea Handler, which was thrown around the blogosphere last week:

Would I like to see Beth Phoenix ‘wrestle’ Chelsea Handler? Nope. I would like to see Beth Phoenix wrestle in bouts longer than a commercial break though.

In the blog entry, Ross also reminds us that the last time we saw such an “loud” silent promo from a WWE superstar was last year when Undertaker returned to confront Triple H in the first meeting leading to their WrestleMania match. Says Ross:

Have I ever experienced a wrestling promo that had significant impact where essentially nothing was said? Yes…Undertaker and HHH last year in their initial build to Wrestlemania. That was one of the most memorable segments of Raw TV in years.

I thought JR made a good point on that one, and you can check out the full blog post here.
