Jim Ross Blog: Thoughts on Undertaker Being Pulled from WWE Live Events, Kevin Owens vs Cesaro, New Day as Babyfaces, More

April 16, 2016

A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com and below are some highlights:

“New Day have become ‘faces which comes as no surprise. No creative entity can make talents who the fans laugh with, marketable, pro wrestling villains IMO. This trio is simply to campy and entertaining to be ‘bad guys.'”

“Loved the Cesaro vs Owens bout. Matches like this on a regular basis will help WWE make their three hour flagship show easier to watch. These talents told a good story, allowed the fans to process what they saw and they SOLD which is often times the missing ingredient to having a successful match or a spot fest.”

“Undertaker being pulled from the imminent WWE tour of the UK and Ireland is troubling. I hope that Taker is healthy as he can be considering his tenure and his ‘bump card’ likely getting full. I still don’t think that WWE would likely endorse Taker’s retirement without a major marketing effort to celebrate The Deadman’s amazing career in WWE.”
