Jim Ross posted a new blog on JRsBarBQ.com, talking about RAW, the Cruiserweight division debut and more; you can read some highlights below: 

As a reminder, Tickets for Jim Ross’ RINGSIDE with Jim Ross and Friends shows in Orlando during WrestleMania 33 weekend are currently on sale at TicketFly.com.

Jim Ross comments on the Cruiserweight division’s debut on RAW: 

Cruiserweight match was fun to watch but the four way felt somewhat predictable but was a good production. I hope that these newly arriving talents get all the creative love that they deserve and can be facilitated to mean all that they can. This grouping of athletic performers is a breath of fresh air on WWE’s three  hour, flagship broadcast.

Suggestion: The Cruiserweights must speak on TV. Today’s TV audience will be challenged to emotionally invest if they can’t hear the talents speak about their career, their matches, being champion, etc. 

In hindsight, I’d have suggested to expose the new Cruiserweight Champion on TV before determining his #1 contender. Not a huge matter either way but I did not leave RAW thinking that the Cruiserweights were as special as I had hoped.

I’d love to see the Cruiserweights booked with the same credibility as the Women and perhaps they will in the future. Are my expectations regarding the Cruiserweights too lofty? If so, that’s on me.
