WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently published a new blog on his website, JRsBarBQ.com. In the article, Ross touches on a number of topics, most notably Chris Jericho leaving the WWE to tour with Fozzy, the WrestleMania XXX main event, and more. Here are some of the highlights from the blog:
On Chris Jericho leaving the WWE to tour with Fozzy: “Future @WWE HOFer Chris Jericho @IAmJericho is apparently done with WWE for the time being to tour with his band Fozzy which was his plan all along. I wish Chris the best in his 2nd passion and look forward to seeing him again in WWE which I do think will happen at a time to be determined in the future. Jericho vs. RVD Monday night was superb especially for a cold, fan favorite bout that can often times be challenging for announcer’s to call.”
On if he know what the main event at WrestleMania XXX will be: “Amazing that people actually think that I know what will Main Event WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. Truthfully, I don’t, and equally as truthful if I did I wouldn’t spill the beans. I will say this because I’ve been asked this question a lot lately, IF Daniel Bryan ever faced CM Punk in a WrestleMania main event level bout, I wouldn’t want to be the talents that had to follow it.”
On what type of matches are more difficult for broadcasters to call: “Matches w/o antagonists vs protagonists, at least to some degree, or matches that have vague, near falls IE a Last Man Standing Match, a Buried Alive Match, an Ambulance Match, etc are also challenging for many broadcasters to master.”
