WWE Hall of Famer and former commentator Jim Ross published a blog on Tuesday, Jan. 7 regarding the previous day’s edition of “Monday Night Raw.” The Old School edition of the program featured many returning legends including a surprise appearance by Jake “The Snake” Roberts.
Brock Lesnar and Big Show clashed during the night and Ross wrote the following regarding Lesnar’s return to WWE for the new year and WrestleMania season:
“No issues with Lesnar/Henry/Show but for anyone to think that Lesnar is as hot right how as he needs to be isn’t looking at Brock through honest eyes. His absence was long and Brock wasn’t red hot when he left. The former WWE and UFC champion is an amazing talent but he’s got little traction from where I sit and needs to promoted aggressively and soon if he’s expected to sell PPV’s at WM30. The good news is that it can be done.”
“Good Ol’ JR” also commented on the surprise return of Jake “The Snake” Roberts:
“The final surprise of Jake the Snake Roberts was a good surprise. Jake looked good and he was well received. Via @DDPYoga and making smart, personal decisions, Jake has gotten himself healthier and the alternative if he had continued to travel his former road was bleak.”
Ross also gave his thoughts on the current angle involving Daniel Bryan joining The Wyatt Family:
“I’m still confused as to where the Daniel Bryan/Wyatt Family storyline is headed. I’m trying to like it as I’m a big fan of all the men involved in the equation but I don’t know much more about their relationship or issues than I knew last week. As a fan, I needed a little more concrete info or a viable tease from these four men than I was provided.”
