JR Discusses How ECW and SD Fared Following the Trade

July 1, 2009

Jim Ross updated his blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights:

"ECW is going to be a mix of a handful of vets mixxing it up with several rookies. WWE has many, talented youngsters who will make ECW their home for the foreseeable future. This show will showcase their ever improving skills with some talents winning, some losing and all of them improving. That’s the goal. Got a feeling this show will be feast or famine with no lack of effort."

"SD did well in the draft. It was easy to see it in tonight’s locker room. The Hart Dynasty adds ready to rock youth and heritage. Finlay adds a veteran who can have a good match with most anyone as he did with Ricky Ortiz, who learned from the ‘Quiet Man.’"

"I know we need to give this new mix of talent a chance and no verdict is deserved for a few weeks. New talents need to be elevated and new main events need to be created immediately which seems to be the long term goal. I’m as anxious as any other fan to see how all this works out. Quite simply time will tell."
