Jim Ross Blog: Gives His Thoughts on Jeff Jarret Returning to TNA, Praises ROH, and Thoughts on WWE Tough Enough

jim rossJim Ross has recently posted a new blog on his website JRsBarBq.com. You can read some excerpts below:

On Jeff Jarrett’s Appearance on TNA

Jeff Jarrett and his better half @KarenJarrett surprisingly appeared on the live, TNA Impact Wrestling TV show Wednesday night on Destination America. Interesting development that has many speculating as to what is up. Here’s what my experience tells me…there is more to this matter than Jeff competing on Sunday’s tepidly promoted TNA PPV and the opportunity to give Global Force Wrestling a nice bump to the TV audience that watches the hard to find network that many wrestling fans have no access to in the first place.

Looking at the bigger picture it would seem to be that both TNA and GFW need each other right now. Neither are on top of their game as TNA is rebuilding on a weak network while Jeff’s GFW is just being launched and has no momentum. If the two organizations can reprise an ‘invasion angle’ that can lead to a fresh, major storyline for Wednesday night TV and then bleed over to the GFW live events then it can perhaps become a win-win for both parties.

On Last Nights ROH Episode

Loved ROH Wednesday night largely because of the utilization of the New Japan Pro Wrestling talent including two of my favorite wrestlers in the world in Nakamura and Okada. Nice job ROH but I like the show better with a two man announce team than three but that’s my personal preference in any promotion. Not a sin or an indictment just an observation.

On WWE Tough Enough

Watched Tough Enough on the USA Network Tuesday night after returning from England and recording some podcast content. It is a 100% reality show and in time I hope that I become attached to some of the participants. No one has jumped off the page at me as being a future WWE Superstar but it’s way too early for that to occur. Hopefully, the TV ratings will increase and that is largely dependent on how well the show is promoted on RAW and if a couple of characters can get ‘hot.’ Again, it’s way too early to even guess if any one on the ‘cast’ will ever headline a Wrestlemania but one never knows.
