Jim Ross Calls Out Backlash Fans; Is Cuba Next For WWE?

Jim Ross Calls Out Backlash Fans

Jim Ross took to his podcast The Jim Ross Report to comment on the behavior of disgruntled Newark, NJ fans at WWE Backlash:

“I didn’t think the fans in Newark were overly kind to the presentation and I’m not gonna get into some debate about, ‘Well we have the right. We paid our money. We can say whatever the damn hell we want.’ Well I guess you can. It doesn’t make you very smart; but, none the less I thought the audience was a little course and you saw the difference in RAW on Monday (better) and of course Smackdown on Tuesday night I thought was a real good audience.”

Ross continued,

“The crowd in Newark, one of my staffers described as smarky. They seemed like they wanted to beat the traffic, they wanted to get out of there. That wasn’t a very good night for those fans. You can say, ‘Well that’s the promotion’s fault, the promotion didn’t give the fans what they wanted.’ It seemed to me – some fans came there knowing they were not going to have a good time. They pre-determined that it was going to be a chaos and a calamity and that’s not good. That’s unfortunate. Not everybody was being a look at me. Not everybody was using the tom foolery, piss antery; but, enough did to make it an uncomfortable show and not an enjoyable show to watch.”

Is Cuba Next For WWE?

On the same episode of The Ross Report, A fan asked Jim Ross about a potential WWE show in Cuba. Ross replied:

“After Saudi Arabia, nothing is off limits. Any country that would welcome WWE like an entertainment entity, like a concert or a circus or some sorta motor show or other ticketed entertainment events – if they would welcome the WWE with open arms as the Saudis did, then absolutely Cuba could be next.”
