Jim Ross Blog: Thoughts on The Rock, Steve Austin, John Cena and More at WrestleMania, Which Matches Should Open and Close the Show?

March 25, 2016

A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com, and below are some highlights. As a reminder, you can purchase tickets to Jim Ross’ RINGSIDE show during Wrestlemania weekend via Ticketmaster.

“I see the WWE Title bout closing WMTexas and nothing else. I’d place the HIAC bout in the middle to latter part of the show follow it with one or two matches and then close with the WWE Title bout. To not close with the WWE Title lessens the championship in my opinion and that should never be allowed to happen.”

“Seems like no brainer booking to feature Steve Austin, The Rock and John Cena in the ring together at ‘Mania in an entertaining piece of business. The fans would love it and creative type should never avoid an automatic “pop.” This might be a helluva way to kickoff the main show. Much like WM30 in NOLA.”

“My suggestion would be to start the wrestling aspect of the main broadcast of WMTexas with the IC Title Ladder match and if the seven men in that match are fortunate that’s what will happen. Go steal the show while the audience is hot and eagerly anticipating the thrill show presentation.”
