WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has taken to his personal blog to comment on various topics regarding WWE this past week. Below are some of the highlights from the post.
Ross approved of the Triple H podcast and sees value in the programming going forward:
“Enjoyed the Austin-HHH podcast Monday night after RAW on the @WWENetwork and look forward to more programs such as this as they are somewhat easy to produce and more cost efficient than many other original programming concepts. For me the long term key to the Network are the PPV’s and Original Programming. The ideas for original programming are seemingly endless. Both Austin and Triple H were straight forward and once they got on a roll it created some interesting content. I could have easily listened to another hour.”
He commented on Rusev putting his United States Championship on the line against John Cena:
“One way to create equity in the US Title is to have John Cena win it, hold it for an extended length of time and bring the luster back to the long time title. OR….have Rusev stay unbeaten including WM31. How hot would Rusev be if he stayed unpinned and submission free until WM32?”
Ross also was complimentary of the change in direction for the upcoming “Fastlane” pay-per-view:
“I liked the tweak in the booking as it relates to the the Fast Lane PPV in a few weeks in Memphis as it gets Daniel Bryan back involved, provides multiple ways to go and even potentially positions Reigns as the villain against fan favorite Lesnar. As I said when many fans were knocking themselves out with their uncontrollable knee jerks, the weekly TV between now and WM31 could and should be good programming. I see that happening if the stories are kept simple and not over thought.”

They’re walking a fine line with Reigns/Bryan. Hoping it pays off.
