Jim Ross published his latest blog on his website; you can read a few excerpts below. JR talks about Daniel Bryan’s in-ring style, Seth Rollins no longer using the Curb Stomp, The New Day getting over with the crowd, and much more.
JR on The New Day:
New Day has the chance to be much more viable as villains than they ever had on the other side of the fence. Hopefully, they will study the great villains of the game and acquire some of their traits. Wrestlers gaining unique, unfair advantages is more important today than in years past when there were more rules to break.
JR on Daniel Bryan changing his in-ring style:
“Hopeful that Daniel Bryan is going to be OK soon but he has to change some of the things that he does whether he wants to or not and not be a prisoner to his on reputation as being one of the best wrestlers in the world. He could eliminate many things from his repertoire and still be one of the best talents in the business. His health is much more important than diving head butts, drop kicks where he strikes the back of his head on the canvas, etc. His most important job in life isn’t being a wrestler but a son, husband and perhaps some day a father. Without great health, those lots in life are more challenging and they’re not easy for a healthy person.”
JR talks about Seth Rollins changing his finisher:
“I don’t know if WWE has or has not banned the use of Seth Rollins’ Curb Stomp finisher but many fans are seemingly up in arms about its absence. I say the safety of the athlete is always the first priority of any responsible company and if the move is more likely to concuss people than others then it needs to be eliminated. It’s that simple. Not sure why so many fans have taken to my Twitter @JRsBBQ to b—h about it but, at the same time, everyone has the right to an opinion. It’s too bad that so many people within the business have bastardized the DDT, among other moves, or it would still be a great finisher instead of another overused, uncreative high spot that everyone kicks out of on a regular basis. Those type of issues where finishing maneuvers have become impotent ‘spots’ is the fault of undisciplined bookers within the world of wrestling and lazy talents who have not mastered the art orf wrestling.”
