Jim Ross Comments on Hell In A Cell Main Event Finish

Former WWE play-by-play man Jim Ross took to his blog this morning to review Sunday night’s Hell In A Cell pay-per-view. In the process, Ross mentioned he felt a bit let down by the main event. Ross said:

I was expecting more, and I’m not sure exactly what, from the final, main event bout featuring Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton for the WWE Title. Adding HBK to the mix as the referee was strategic promoting as was having HHH at ringside. But the match never quite got over the hump for me. One certainly can’t slight the efforts of all involved but sometimes the game plan looks better on paper than in actual execution.

He also discussed how WWE has aired three pay-per-views in two months, all revolving around the babyface chasing the title.  He added:

The key element to consider is that many consumers bought their second $50+ PPV this month and at some point the majority of the fan base, considering that they were pulling for Daniel Bryan, has to made happy.

Without question, antagonist angst sells, remember I worked in Mid South Wrestling, but there has to be a happy ending at some point and I certainly assumed that Daniel Bryan would have won inside HIAC where the heroes have traditionally had some level of success in such a finale-like presentation. I missed on that one.

 Ross mentioned he expects it all to play out on Monday Night RAW.
