Jim Ross Feb. 24 “Raw” Blog: Talks Daniel Bryan at ‘Mania and More

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently took to his blog on JRsBarBq.com to give his thoughts on the much-anticipated Feb. 24 edition of “Monday Night Raw.” The show featured the return of “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker, who will face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX.

Jim Ross wrote the following regarding Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker being confirmed for WrestleMania XXX:

“The rumblings of Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar at WM30 was made official on RAW or that’s what I got out of it. I think that these two will exceed most fan’s expectations at WM30. Not sure I can tell you why but it’s merely a gut feeling that I have.  I think that they keep it basic, physical and at an old school pace which isn’t plodding but one that fans can process and ‘feel’ what they are seeing.”

“Good Ol’ JR” also commented on the reaction Batista receives from WWE crowds and how blame should not be placed on “The Animal:”

“Getting way too much negative feedback here about how Batista is positioned as if it is Dave’s fault. It’s really no one’s ‘fault’ as sometimes talents are simply miscast. I’ve see it happen since the day I walked into the biz in 1974. The great thing about TV Wrestling creative is that the most powerful weapon in the business can be called upon…..the eraser.

I have always thought that Batista, because of the Daniel Bryan phenomenon, was a better fit to be a villain but that’s easy to say now. I expect that to occur later this week on Smackdown.”

Continuing, Ross commented on Hulk Hogan’s return to WWE, commenting about the difference between Hulk Hogan being “over” in TNA and WWE:

“Great pop for Hulk Hogan and did you notice that WWE gave Hulk his spotlight uninterruptedly and did not align him with anyone nor did they have anyone confront Hogan…..yet. Good to see Hulk back on WWE airwaves. Hogan was more ‘over’ in 5 minutes on WWE TV than he ever was on TNA Impact.”

Regarding the tease of Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H at WrestleMania XXX, Ross gave his opinion on Bryan’s role at WrestleMania:

“Daniel Bryan wants HHH at WM30 but will that keep or make Bryan’s fans happy? Likely not. WWE has a golden opportunity to provide Bryan and his fans a ‘magical moment’ in the Mercedes Benz Super Dome come WM30. Time will tell if that happens. It seems too obvious that it should happen for it to not occur.”
