Jim Ross
WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently updated his blog on his JR’s Bar-B-Q website; you can read a few excerpts below:
Jim Ross comments on Sasha / Charlotte closing RAW, criticisms over the length of their feud:
Bold move to put a promo segment to close the show especially when the promo segment is going to be done by a talent with little, long promo, show ending experience. This was a classic, VKM ‘calculated risk’ that paid off nicely.
The Charlotte-Sasha Banks rivalry has been well scripted and produced and on Monday night all involved executed their roles well.
I find it shocking that some people, even many within the business, are complaining about how many times the two women have wrestled each other which I simply don’t understand. I feel that both women have the skill set to carry out a long arcing storyline but in today’s microwave climate patience is not a virtue with today’s fan base for the most part.
The 30 minute Ironman, (why not Ironwomen BTW?) match will be a challenge to Sasha and Charlotte as it will require a logical pace, timely selling, a on going, under lying thread to their match I.E. someone has a dinged body part and it is exploited. I applaud WWE and the two ladies for this booking and wish them the best of luck in telling a great story while continuing to advance their gender’s place within the “man’s world” of pro wrestling.
