WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently updated the Q&A section of his official website, JRsBarBQ.com, fielding questions from fans on a number of topics. Here are some highlights:
On why WWE didn’t have Shane McMahon beat Undertaker at WrestleMania if they were going to have him run RAW anyways:
“Don’t have an answer for you…sorry. It’s obviously not that big an issue to WWE or they wouldn’t have forsaken their top Wrestlemania stipulation after 24 hours. Dave Meltzer and I address this matter on this week’s Ross Report Podcast.”
On Sami Zayn’s potential in WWE and rumors that AJ Styles has been working too stiff:
“Zayn is a main eventer in waiting and he’s likely not going to be waiting long. Talented, dedicated pro. BTW working stiff isn’t a crime but working in a careless manner is. Don’t believe all that you read or ‘hear.’”
On if he thinks Chris Benoit will be, or should be, inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame:
“Old question with the same answer…if Chris could chime in I feel that he would not want to be inducted due to it becoming a distraction and all about the final days of his life and not about his in ring contributions.”
On what it would take for another brand split to work in WWE:
“The full and total commitment by upper management to pull the trigger. It won’t work unless the brand split stays clean IMO.”
