WWE Hall of Fame ring announcer Jim Ross recently updated his blog over on JRsBarBQ.com, and commented on events from RAW this week, including the “Rowdy” Roddy Piper tribute.
Ross also talks about Paul Heyman’s great promo, Miz’s role on Tough Enough, Ronda Rousey’s fighting future and if she’ll be at Wrestlemania, and much more. You can read a few excerpts below:
Ross Talks Heyman’s Promo:
@HeymanHustle promo on RAW Monday was arguably one of his best ever. If any wrestler or wannabe who wants to understand the art of verbally telling a story and can listen to only one person in the business then make that one person Happy Heyman. It makes me proud that I was in a position to give him his first, national break on TV back in the WCW days. For me, it was easy to see that he was a special talent and he’s proven to be even more extraordinary than I predicted. I loved working with him even though he was could be like an ornery, little brother at times but make no mistake about it we jelled because we had mutual respect for each other and we both made it in the business when the majority of those in it did not endorse or predict our success.
What he thought of the Roddy Piper tribute on RAW:
The Roddy Piper tribute was exceptional on RAW and I thought WWE hit it out of the park on that presentation. It’s hard to fathom that some keyboard warriors hit me on twitter @JRsBBQ that they thought it “wasn’t enough.” SMH.
Ross Talks Ronda Rousey, Her Future And If She’ll Be At Wrestlemania
Do not bet against Cris Cyborg facing Ronda Rousey in a mega fight in 2016 as there is too much money involved in this ‘dream fight’ for it not to go down. Cyborg needs to be steroid and performance enhancing drug free but the reward for her playing by the rules is the biggest check that she will ever earn. It’s all about the money folks and making the fans happy which is promoting 101.
This main event will garner 1M+ buys easily on PPV.
Rousey sells PPV’s which is why I think we will see her in AT&T Stadium at Wrestlemania unless there are scheduling conflicts. Having both Rousey ad Brock Lesnar on the same show equates to a potential blockbuster.
