The latest Jim Ross blog is now available on the JR’s Bar-B-Q website; Ross talks about this week’s WWE RAW being a good show despite the absence of stars like John Cena and Randy Orton.
Ross praises the efforts of the Usos, Charlotte, Paige and others, and predicts a babyface turn for Alberto Del Rio. You can read a few excerpts below:
Ross on last night’s RAW being enjoyable:
WWE was without a great deal of star power Monday night but had one of their better shows IMO nonetheless. It seems that talents who are still present realize that the door is open for them to step up and take ownership of the fleeting albeit lucrative top spots in WWE and become permanent residents of the main event neighborhood of the Promised Land.
Think about it….no Cena, no Taker, no Lesnar, no Orton…if talents who love to say that they are underutilized and want to change their scenery then now is the time to take drastic and perhaps even risky steps to get noticed and to make a profound impression on the decision makers then now is the time to rise up.
The 10 men in the Survivor Series Elimination main event did a good job of illustrating what that type of match can be at Survivor Series. The Usos got a nice spotlight and maximized their minutes with plenty of excitement.
Ross on Alberto as a babyface in the future:
I see ADR turning on the villain Zeb Colter some time soon and becoming the Hispanic fan favorite that WWE desperately needs. It’s unfortunate that Alberto wasn’t able to keep his commitments to Mexico’s AAA after rejoining WWE. That’s never a good situation. No one wins in this particular situation.
