Jim Ross on Kevin Nash, Lesnar/Reigns, The Undertaker

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross took to his blog Tuesday night to discuss various topics related to wrestling and the go-home edition of “RAW” before WrestleMania. Below are some of the highlights from it.

Ross spoke highly of Kevin Nash, who was announced as the final inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame:

“Congrats to my friend Kevin Nash on getting the nod to go into the WWE HOF This Saturday where he will be inducted by Mick Foley. Back in the early days of Kevin’s career in WCW many of the politically charged power brokers would not give the athletic 7 footer the time of day. I put him on my WSB Radio Show that aired on Sunday nights and he made an impact because he could talk, was glib and highly intelligent. It was at that point that the higher up’s discovered a side of Kev that they never took the time to to know and the rest is history. Kevin was one of the best “attraction wrestlers” of his generation and made an impact in front of and behind the camera in both WWE and WCW. I’m proud of him and even prouder to call him my friend.”

He gave his final thoughts on the Roman Reigns/Brock Lesnar main event ahead of the big showdown:

“@HeymanHustle was once again stellar. Some folks liked the closing foreshadowing of the TV show with Lesnar and Reigns struggling over the WWE Title while others did not. Not my hill to die upon but I’m pleased that we did not see any physicality between the two main event talents in this Sunday’s WrestleMania. The build to WM31 has been a mixed bag with both good and not so good but it also seems to  have become a predictable mantra for many fans to discuss. I’m of the mindset to watch the event from home and then judge the show on it’s actual merits and not on what I perceive the build to be. Could the build have been better? Absolutely. Does the build mean the actual presentation Sunday on the WWE Network is doomed for failure? Absolutely, not.”

Ross also warned the WWE Universe to get ready for The Undertaker, as he expects a great showing from him:

“I completely agree with WWE as it relates to Undertaker not being seen in person until his entrance at WrestleMania. I know he ‘Big Dog’ has been training like a MMA fighter preparing for a title bout so he will be ready without question.”
