A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com and below are some highlights.
As a reminder, you can purchase tickets for Jim Ross’ RINGSIDE show Wrestlemania weekend over at Ticketmaster:
“The signing of the four NJPW wrestlers, including Bullet Club members, is essentially a done deal as in ‘agreed on the terms in principle’ type of thing. The key to this matter now is how will WWE introduce these men as how they are initially presented will go miles into how they are perceived by the fans.”
“Shinsuke Nakamura is a hugely gifted resource that WWE is getting and has the natural charisma and ‘IT Factor” that promotions are always seeking. I hope that age old stereotype of how Japanese wrestlers are presented in America is broken as it relates to this talent who can, by the way, speak English. I sung Nakamura, and others including AJ Styles, Gallows, and Anderson’s praises when I returned from broadcasting Wrestle Kingdom 9 last year to WWE honchos. I believe in these four talents and if they are used strategically and if they come in as ‘main eventers’ WWE may have made themselves four, new main event talents.”
“Could a Balor Club get created and if so can they be made to be villains? The answer is “absolutely” especially if the proposed Balor Club is friendly with The Authority. Or the Balor Club could be positioned against the Authority to make them bigger fan favorites of which they will likely be if this much talked about matter goes down.”
