A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com and below are some highlights. As a reminder, you can purchase tickets to Jim Ross’ RINGSIDE show during Wrestlemania weekend via Ticketmaster.
On The Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon stipulation at WrestleMania 32:
“The McMahon added stipulation to the HIAC match for control of RAW featuring Shane McMahon vs The Undertaker has generated a fair amount of speculation. That’s good as at least folks are talking about the match and the event more, or so it seems.
I see Taker wining at Wrestlemania but stranger things could happen as this, as in most pro wrestling storylines, can go multiple, ‘right ways.’ You can bet the farm that WWE is not going to squander the Undertaker’s ‘retirement’ without marketing it to the hilt.”
On IC Title ladder match at WrestleMania 32:
“The IC Title Wrestlemania match gets 13 days promotion which seems like a rush job but it puts the 7 talents on the show and in a position to go out and overachieve and create ‘moments.’ Why would they approach it any other way?”
On Terry Funk’s appearance on WWE Raw:
“Loved seeing the beloved, grizzled veteran Terry Funk on RAW as he gave Dean Ambrose a helluva ‘rub’ just as Mick Foley did earlier. Hope WWE has viable plans for Ambrose post ‘Mania and after he’s likely physically decimated by Brock Lesnar in Texas. If the soundtrack is spot on, Ambrose can ‘get over’ in a big way even in a losing effort against the @HeymanHustle meal ticket. That’s great for a broadcaster to be able to go into a major match and know that both participants can come out smelling like my Mama’s Cinnamon Apple Chocolate Dumplings if all goes well.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
