WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has a new blog posted on his JR’s BBQ website; you can read some highlights below:
Jim Ross comments on Seth Rollins’ reception after he returns from injury:
When the injured Seth Rollins returns soon to WWE many speculate that he will be a fan favorite. No doubt that Rollins will be received warmly by those happy to see him back but it’s very doable for the talented wrestler to betray the fans and “break their hearts.”
The wrestling business seemingly has a plethora of “cool heels” but certainly not an overabundance of villains who carry ‘heat.’
JR comments on questions about Undertaker and Triple H retiring:
Just my two cents, and worth every cent of it, but I don’t think that either HHH or The Undertaker have wrestled at their last Wrestlemania. I get these sorts of questions on Twitter @JRsBBQ regularly. WWE is a marketing juggernaut and they aren’t going to allow a once in a lifetime promotional opportunity like the retirement of two of their all time greatest stars fade away with a whimper.
JR comments on high risk bumps in wrestling:
Still cringe at the sight of Jushin Liger landing on his 51 year old head at the last ROH PPV. Luckily disaster was avoided but it unfortunately seems probable that with the increased volume of high risk bumps now being utilized in many promotions that a major injury use in wait
“Less is more” is still applicable in pro wrestling even though many younger talents do not espouse to that philosophy.
