Jim Ross Blogs on Royal Rumble and More

WWE Hall of Famer and former commentator Jim Ross recently published a blog on his website, JRsBarBq.com. In his post, Ross talked about a number of things including the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, a physical WWE Hall of Fame, and more.

“Good Ol’ JR” posted the following regarding the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, which will occur tomorrow, Jan. 26 in Pittsburgh:

“Still leaning on Batista, who I’m predicting will enter after #20,  winning he Rumble which would set up a WWE World Title Bout vs. Randy Orton at WM30 as I see Orton winning Sunday in Pittsburgh vs John Cena with an obligatory helping of controversy.

 Don’t see Lesnar losing to Big Show at the Rumble.It’s feeling more and more like it could be a Lesnar vs. Undertaker showdown at WM30 in NOLA but all that could change with one major signing or via the use of the most powerful weapon in the business….an eraser.

 The only thing that I do know for sure about Sunday’s WWE Royal Rumble is that I’m watching it from home but if I was in my wife’s home town of Pittsburgh, I would be hitting Primanti Brothers for a great sandwich. Homemade fries ON a sandwich are hard to beat.

I’d love to see CM Punk go coast to coast while entering #1 in the Rumble match and win it all in Pitt but that’s a legit, long shot. I could see Punk lasting a abnormally long length of time before being tossed over the top rope…perhaps by Batista himself or Punk could run a foul of the Shield again.    

It’s always interesting to see who the final four are in the Rumble match, who eliminates the most entrants, and who leaves the Rumble match better positioned than they were upon entering.

 Strategic, Rumble bouts enhance and forward multiple entrants if all goes according to a smart plan and the execution is there.”

Jim Ross also commented on Daniel Bryan, noting he still believes he is WWE’s “most popular performer:”

“Also curious to see how Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt unfolds. As unpredictable as Bryan has been utilized over the past several weeks, it’s almost impossible to predict his Rumble through WM30 status.

I’m still of the belief that Daniel Bryan is the most popular performer on the WWE roster these days but my opinion and a couple of bucks will buy you a few bottle of JR’s BBQ Sauce, too.”

Ross also gave his thoughts on the recent reports of a physical WWE Hall of Fame location:

“According to the New York Post, NBC Universal is allegedly attempting to sweeten the TV rights deal in which they are currently negotiating with WWE. Allegedly, NBC Universal is offering to house a bricks and mortar WWE Hall of Fame at Universal in Orlando. Orlando would be a great spot for the WWE HOF considering that WWE does a ample business in Orlando including the WWE Performance Center and the NXT tapings at Full Sail University.”
