Jim Ross On Why WWE Is Not Booking D-Bryan In The Main Event

The Last Gentleman Podcast recently interviewed Jim Ross. Below are some highlights.

Ross on if the business is dictated by the fans and why Bryan is main eventing house shows instead of WrestleMania: “It’s a coach’s decision… In their view that’s the best utilization of Daniel Bryan. In the WWE, The Intercontinental Title has been very tepid…. [The Belt] could mean more… Maybe Daniel Bryan wins the ladder match at Wrestlemania, and becomes the Intercontinental Champion and actually has the title long enough to make it mean something… You also got a guy that’s in the eyes of many, a little undersized, and now unfortunately for him…. I don’t know how his health is… Whether he’s still on pins and needles…There’s probably more to the story then you and I know about.”

His thoughts on announcers: “Like any other talent, you follow the producer, if your unwilling to compromise your style you’re more than likely to be replaced…. The announcers today are a reflection on how they are being produced. They are following their orders….”

Ross on if CM Punk on a UFC PPV will hit the numbers that are expected: “It would probably be a very productive pay-per-view if Punk and [Brock] Lesnar were both on the same one….. The irony is that while neither of them are seemingly emotionally invested in the wrestling business any longer, which does alienate that fan base from you… They are both counting on that fan base to set those records.”

His thoughts on recruiting wrestlers including former athletes: “I’d wanna talk to every coach they ever had, I’d wanna talk to their parents, to their teammates, if I’m going to invest money in a player, id wanna know as much as I humanly possibly can, before I offer them a contract. That’s where a lot of mistakes were made.”
