A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com, and below are some highlights:
Lots of talk on Raw explaining their recent storyline tweaks after HIAC which is understandable. The Randy Orton story line direction is intriguing and it seems to have re-invigorated the third generation star that yours truly had to lobby with Vince McMahon to hire back in the day. That’s a good thing quite honestly because if I couldn’t sell the boss on a talent then I must have not have been overly sold on said talent myself. A motivated and renewed Orton can be a great asset to the brand which is in dire need of ‘new’ and ‘hot.’
Why wouldn’t they [TNA & ROH] be able to cooperate on select matters? One is exclusively on syndicated/local TV and the other is on cable. I’m optimistic that Impact will get a new TV deal because some cable network will covet Impact’s 1M viewers that they can bring with them and with good booking that number can easily grow if they find their exclusivity factors within the world of cable, TV wrestling. Both brands could use allies and why egos and outdated agendas can’t be set aside to enable both brands to grow and get healthier is beyond me. The mutual benefits are endless if both companies are willing to communicate and do what’s best for their talents and their fans. Facilitating various ways for the talents to earn more money should be a higher priority than any upper management agendas one might create.
I need to listen to the Bray Wyatt interview one more time as I am not fully certain as to what his motives are as they relate to Dean Ambrose. Nonetheless, I’m curious and interested in this new story and wonder if it has the legs with today’s booking philosophy to make it to WM31?
