Jim Ross Comments on John Cena and Ryback, Rusev, Adam Rose

WWE Hall of Famer and now-Global Force Wrestling play-by-play man Jim Ross took to his blog once again to give his thoughts on this past week’s edition of “Monday Night Raw.” Below are some of the highlights.

On the Ryback/John Cena program that kicked off and ended “RAW:”

“John Cena gave Ryback an incredible “RUB” on RAW during the first and last segment of the show so RAW was bookend well. It’s obvious that WWE has big plans for Ryback.”

It has been rumored for some time WWE would be reigniting a push for “The Big Guy,” and it appears Ross has picked up on that as well.

Ross has been critical of Rusev’s booking in the past, especially now as United States Champion. He give his thoughts on the title rematch between him and Sheamus:

“Some whacky elements in the US Title match…almost SNL satirical in texture…a Bulgarian playing a Russian sympathizer, an Irish challenger in a match for the United States Title all coming together in Liverpool, England. And of course the match ended in a count out which was impotent and helped no one. Wold have been a nice win for the villain champion who actually retreated a time or two like heels have done for a century in the ring and in real life.”

He also touched on the odd booking for Adam Rose as of late:

“Thought WWE was allowing Adam Rose to channel the amazing, Exotic Adrian Street there for a few minutes. Exotic Adrian was a fascinating character and a legit, brutal man if need be. He once beat Terry Taylor for the Mid South TV Title with a kiss. Booker Bill Dundee had to do some slick talking to get Cowboy Bill Watts to go for that one.”

Editor’s Note

I honestly have no idea where they are going with the Adam Rose stuff. How can a character like that be heel?
