Jim Ross has a huge blog update with thoughts on WWE Royal Rumble 2014 and more, here are some highlights!
on Rumble Stars Not Announced Yet
I assume because they are involved in one on one bouts that Cena, Orton, Show and Lesnar will not be in the Rumble match but that’s merely speculation. If that statement is true, I’d not be too far out on a limp to predict Batista as the early Rumble favorite.
on Rumble Surprise Entrants
I’m expecting a handful of ‘surprise entrants’ to the Rumble but that’s, again, my own speculation. Just feels like it is needed and that it is timely.
on Daniel Bryan
As a fan, I need to hear and see more applicable content on the Daniel Bryan/Wyatt Family storyline. I know that particular entity is seemingly being depended upon within WWE in a big way but their storyline needs a timely update and some new info. I am interested in their story but facets of it are not moving the needle for me just yet.
on Orton vs Big E
Before I forget, I really enjoyed watching the Orton-Langston match Friday night on Smackdown. Big E more than held his own vs. the veteran and current top titleholder Mr. RKO. I’ve long said that Big E is a keeper and a high character former D1 athlete and high school state champion wrestler notwithstanding his power lifting accolades. The most important character trait for ‘E’ is his reliability and intelligence. I’d be shocked if he ever put himself in a position to embarrass himself or his employer.
