Jim Ross had the following comments about this past Monday Night Raw episode that has been almost universally panned (see excerpts below):
“Perplexing Raw Monday night in Pittsburgh. Obviously, the live crowd was not into some aspects of the broadcast which resonated at home.
Not the hot start to the broadcast that we’ve experienced on RAW the past few weeks. I will say that John Cena has physically never looked better in my view. I’d suggest that Cena’s cardio vascular conditioning could well be a major factor when he challenges The Rock for the WWE Title at WM29. The Rock’s worldwide, travel schedule is freakish and nothing can prepare one’s stamina inside the ring better than being inside the ring on a regular basis.
…
Wasn’t crazy about Damien Sandow getting counted out against R Truth. It’s the proverbial “kissing one’s sister” conclusion IE a tie in football like back in the day.
The CM Punk biz with the urn made me uncomfortable.
…
The IC Title isn’t a red hot, topical item at the moment but the Triple Threat bout had its moments. I think that Wade Barrett has a unique ‘presence’ and has yet to approach his potential.”
