Jim Ross checked in with a post-Raw pre-Royal Rumble blog, here are some highlights:
on Sting
Great use of Sting in this segment once again ‘marrying’ him to HHH. I think if their match happens at WM31 that it will exceed many folk’s expectations. I like this pairing.
on Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar had a helluva night and looked like the big time investment that he is. Whether Brock stays with WWE past WM31 is still up in the air but it certainly adds to the overall mystique to the presentation of which I like.
on 2015 Royal Rumble
The Royal Rumble is largely a two event extravaganza but I’ve got no problem with that. Bot the Rumble match, which will likely go an hour plus, and the WWE Title Bout, which I’d guess will go past 30 minutes, are why people are watching this show. I will be watching the Rumble from my Philly hotel and taking notes for my podcast which I will record Monday evening when I return from Philly reviewing the event as I mentioned earlier with Mark Madden.
on Stone Cold Steve Austin, Wrestlemania 32
Enjoyed spending some quality time this past weekend with Steve Austin in Los Angeles. He is looking great and would be a perfect fit, in my opinion, to return to the ring in Dallas next year for WM32. Perhaps I should say in Arlington, Texas as the Dallas Cowboys actually play their games in Arlington. I could see WWE adding a major Undertaker match to this potential record breaker of an event that is if Taker would be physicality good to go in 2016. As I outlined on one of my Ross Reports several months ago this booking is huge for WWE and AT&T Stadium could easily fit 100,000+ for WM32 if the card is what the fans want to see which is always any promoter’s goal. I love this building and saw the first ever college football game ever played there plus the Packers vs. Steelers Super Bowl game there. It’s a palace.
