Jim Ross Blog: CM Punk as the Perfect Antagonist Post-Royal Rumble Loss, Thoughts on Bo Dallas

News, Top Story

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross had some thoughts about the post-Royal Rumble episode of Monday Night Raw. Check out his comments below and go to wweshop.com to buy his BBQ sauce.

Jim Ross on Punk-Rock:

“@CMPunk opening the broadcast PO’ed and totally embracing and refining how to be a legit antagonist on a sports entertainment, TV program. Punk turning the tables on new, WWE Champion @TheRock while discussing the ‘rematch’ for the WWE Title at the Elimination Chamber was strategically spot on. Great psychology.

Loved the fact that Punk wasn’t ‘hawking’ his merchandise and seemed to purposely ‘dress down’ for the night staying in complete character as the badass that he actually is.

Anxious to see Punk-Rock at the next WWE PPV simply from a strategic standpoint as in what new, nuances will be added to the outing and how big a step forward will the two stars take in their sure-to-be show closing performance.”

Jim Ross on Antonio Cesaro, Wade Barrett and Bo Dallas:

“Not a great night for the IC and US Champions, both lost, but @AntonioCesaro, United States Champion, still is a shining star that hasn’t approached his WWE peak while IC Champion @WadeBarrett provided @TheBoDallas a signature victory on WWE’s flagship broadcast.

Loved that Bo wears a black glove much like his WWE HOF family members, Grandpa Blackjack Mulligan and Uncle Barry Windham.”
