Jim Ross on Daniel Bryan, "Payback," Ronda Rousey, & More

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently posted another blog on his website, JRsBarBq.com. Within the post, Ross discussed a number of wrestling topics, while also providing updates on his own current endeavors.

JR talked about Daniel Bryan vacating the Intercontinental Championship on the May 11 showing of “Monday Night Raw:”

“Solid Daniel Bryan interview where he unfortunately had to relinquish the Intercontinental Title. I’m just guessing here but I would not be surprised if DB didn’t have concussion issues but it certainly could be a neck issue as many speculate. I don’t know his diagnosis but I do that his health is his most important commodity and if he’s essentially done with his career it will be ill timed, as are all career ending injuries, but Daniel Bryan is the type of individual that any wrestling company should want to associate with and he can help WWE in a variety of ways. Hopefully Daniel Bryan can get a clean bill of health to resume his career but he will have to change some of the things he does in the ring whether he likes it or not and embrace the ‘less is more’ philosophy of in ring, bell to bell activity.”

Continuing, Ross hit on how he doesn’t sense much of a “buzz” for the upcoming “Payback” pay-per-view:

“I will be back from Baltimore in time to watch Payback from the same city but I don’t feel the ‘buzz’ for the event that one would generally prefer. Perhaps it will overachieve and be a ‘sleeper’ event. It should not be an enhanced version of Monday Night Raw only with it being on Sunday night instead of Monday.”

“Good Ol’ JR” also noted that he believes Ronda Rousey will appear at WrestleMania 32 in some capacity:

“Ronda Rousey adorns the cover of Sports Illustrated this week and no matter what is speculated, I still feel she will be in AT&T Stadium next April to be a special attraction at WrestleMania Texas. Still think Ronda versus Stephanie McMahon, and her stacked deck, would make a sensational ‘special attraction’ and is a creative booker’s dream.”
