The latest Jim Ross blog is available to read on the JR’s Bar-B-Q website; this entry features JR talking about the blood in the Lesnar/Taker Hell In A Cell match, his thoughts on Ring of Honor and Lucha Underground, if Ronda Rousey being WWE Divas champion is interesting, and more. You can read a few excerpts below:
Ross on ‘blading’ at WWE HIAC:
It’s hard to believe that some wresting pundits actually believe that Brock Lesnar and Undertaker went into business for themselves and kept everyone in WWE, including the chairman, in the dark about their use of blood in their HIAC match. How th blood was derived may be another issue but the two talents taking matters into their own hands without approval isn’t too likely to have occurred. Their match was the best bout on the show Sunday in LA.
Lucha Underground Season 2:
When I met with the Lucha Underground folks many moons ago they expressed a desire to create a breakout star and to take that star and his TV persona to the big screen IE films. Their concept for their TV show is unique and I’m anxious to watch their new season when it debuts on the El Rey Network.
The interest in Ronda Rousey as Divas Champion:
Ronda Rousey and her camp, influenced by The Rock, are strategic in their thinking. Rousey has a huge payday awaiting her for a Wrestlemania story line down the road and they know it. No one ever makes too much money plus RR knows that she can’t be unbreakable forever inside the Octagon. It was timely of Charlotte to stand her ground and respond to Ronda recently but I would rather see RR versus a heel specifically Stephanie McMahon as I feel that’s the money. Plus, do you really want Ronda Rousey going for the WWE Divas Title? Is Rousey a Diva? Is the term Diva still relevant? In any event, Ronda Rousey in a hot, personal issue interests me more than her going for the title at this time. The question is can Rousey and WWE come together for something BIG for the Texas WrestleMania?
