Jim Ross Comments on NXT, the Current WWE Product, the Wyatt Family, and More

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has written a new blog on his website, JRsBarBQ.com. The new blog was posted Sunday night, and the main topic of the piece was the recent NXT tapings in Florida. Ross also goes on to talk about the current WWE product, recruitment process, the new WWE Peformance Center, and more. Here are some highlights from the blog:

On the NXT Divas: “Arguably, the ‘stars’ of the Thursday NXT taping were all the Divas who had a series of fundamentally sound bouts including many within the first ever, NXT Womens Title tourney. Sara Del Ray has done a marvelous job in coaching and teaching the females in NXT and her efforts are certainly obvious to any fan of the genre.”

On Ric Flair’s daughter “Charlotte” and her progress in the division: “Ric Flair was on hand to see his athletic daughter, Charlotte, make her in ring debut and Charlotte did well for her first outing. She’s approximately a 6 footer who has a viable upside.”

On the Wyatt Family, their current work, and upcoming main roster debut: “The Wyatt Family had a strong night and they are ready for a successful entry into the WWE sooner than later. Luke Harper had an especially physical and solid match with WWE Superstar Sheamus on one of the taped programs.”

On the new WWE Performance Center: “The new, WWE Performance Center will officially open on Thursday July 11 which is also the next time we tape NXT at Full Sail. This grand opening is not open to the public and will be via invitation only to the media and a variety of WWE business partners, etc. The Performance Center begins a new era in the development of WWE talents that is truly exciting. I went through the facility again last week and it is amazing. There is not a NFL training facility that exceeds what WWE has done with this facility. With that said, the training of these future WWE Superstars will be amped up and the expectations raised not only for the athletes but for the coaches as well. The higher expectations also include the number and quality of young athletes that are recruited and signed to begin their WWE journey in NXT.”

On the current WWE product: “Interesting days are on the horizon for WWE fans if last week’s Payback PPV, RAW and Smackdown broadcasts are any indication. The show’s are feeling fresher, new talents are getting more established by the week and more, new talents are on the way. Plus, some of the new rivalries are intriguing for the fan in me.”

JR also talks about how and where the WWE is looking for new recruits. You can read his entire blog here.
