Jim Ross Blogs – The Recent WWE Releases, UFC, & More

This is the most fan and family friendly event in wrestling. Again, call 319-233-0745 for information. I’d love to see you there. I’m bringing the JR’s! :)

– What do you think of Bray Wyatt being a character baby face after being turned on by Harper and Rowan who then become managed by Jake Roberts who builds his own faction?

Harper is a star in the waiting and the key to Rowan achieving a high level of success is him showing more animation and personality in the ring and being able to master a promo.

– Bo Dallas was the consummate, ivory snow baby face in NXT for a long, long time until the fans organically turned on him for being too goody-goody. The current incarnation of Bo Dallas isn’t as organic as what made him an antagonist in NXT but I hope it will eventually work for the young man’s sake. He’s a good kid who works hard and is a natural athlete. Only time will tell if this presentation clicks and the timing inasmuch as how long the persona is left to evolve and/or to tweak is critical.

– Brodus Clay always reminded me of the UWF version or the One Man Gang. Perhaps some day Brodus can see if my premonition actually is accurate. If Brodus can maintain a healthy, athletic weight so he can feed the comebacks approiately he has a shot at becoming a main event level heel IMO.

How many WWE talent cuts were essentially ‘comedic’ characters? It takes a special individual, terrific writing, and a little luck to be able to sell more marketable sizzle than to deliver more athletic steak.

If you buy a JR’s shirt of any design from prowrestlingtees.com/jimross you will receive a FREE JR’s RINGSIDE event shirt while they last.
