Jim Ross returned from Wrestle Kingdom 9 with an all new blog. Here are some highlights
on AJ Styles
AJ Styles has raised the level of his game and is arguably one of the top 10 wrestlers in the world today for my money. If AJ doesn’t become the IWGP Heavyweight Champion again in 2015, I will be shocked. The Bullet Club, think nWo or DX, is selling tons of merchandise and that’s no exaggeration. It’s reminiscent of the hottest days of Steve Austin as it relates to merchandise. It’s everywhere….and they are largely heels. The Bullet Club is a creative masterpiece and displays classic booking. Japanese fans are no different than many North American fans inasmuch as they enjoy some of the antics of the villains.
on Dixie Carter
@TNADixie aka Dixie Carter the President of TNA is my Ross Report podcast guest as we speak on podcastone.com, iTunes and here on the home page of the site. Dixie talks about the TNA re-launch at length and her plans for rebuilding her brand. Next week on the Ross Report I will be joined on Tuesday night at 9 pm ET by one of the all time great masked wrestlers, Len “The Grappler” Denton who was a big star in the territory days. His stories of some of the top stars he worked with and learned from are priceless. Plus, on Tuesday I will speak with Superstar Billy Graham for a future Ross Report Podcast about his colorful and controversial career when he was one of the biggest stars in the world. You can hear my visit with Dixie now and it’s getting super feedback.
on Seth Rollins
Smart booking by WWE to add Seth Rollins to the WWE Title Bout to be held at the Royal Rumble on Sun January 25 in Philly. With Champ Brock Lesnar, #1 contender John Cena, and now Rollins all in the match could we see the WWE Title change hands twice in one night? Never say never, right?
