Jim Ross Blogs On WWE’s NXT Takeover: R Evolution Special

Jim Ross has updated the blog section on his official website, in which he provided his thoughts on last night’s NXT Takeover: R Evolution. Here are highlights:

On NXT Takeover: R Evolution: “Enjoyed Thursday night’s NXT two hour special a great deal. The two hour show buzzed by quicker than a hiccup in one of the best produced wrestling shows I’ve seen in a long while. The show had a great start with the debut of Kevin Owens and ended with a startling and shocking close with Owens turning on his long time friend from Quebec Sami Zayn moments after new NXT Champion Zayn won the title from Adrian Neville in a helluva wrestling match. There was nothing on the show that I did not enjoy for what role they each talent filled on the broadcast. There was a purpose in every segment and the talents worked smart and hard to maximize their valuable minutes.”

On the talent involved: “Owens is a keeper and has a uniquely, physical style that I like. Finn Balor had as memorable an entrance as I can recall in years. Neville vs Zayn could well challenge any thing we see at TLC….I hope the main roster was watching. Competition is knocking on their door. Charlotte vs. Sasha was crisp and well executed. Charlotte is getting so good that it could be scary in time. Sasha has a natural ‘attitude’ which is marketable. Great stuff from start to finish of this show.”

On Corey Graves: “I especially thought the announcers were excellently prepared and did a superb job all night. Nice to see Corey Graves get an opportunity to contribute as a broadcaster considering that concussion issues have curtailed his wrestling career. Corey got off to a great start and complimented his partners well. I admit that I’m often times too critical of pro wrestling announcing but Thursday night was a pleasure with which to listen.”
