Jim Ross Blogs On Apollo Crews, Chyna’s Passing, Roman Reigns, & More

Jim Ross has posted anew blog entry, here are the highlights…

On Chyna’s Passing: I’d be curious to know how long Joanie Lauer was being prescribed Ambien and Xanax. Long term use of either is totally unadvisable. The extended use of Ambien can be especially destructive as I can attest. I talk much more about this matter regarding Chyna’s death last week on this week’s Ross Report podcast that features ROH COO Joe Koff. Bravo to WWE TV for the terrific video tribute that they presented to honor Chyna on Monday Night Raw. I was honored that my voice made the edit for the highlight package.

On Apollo Crews: Apollo Crews is beginning to build momentum thanks to him simply winning all his matches in impressive fashion. (Funny how tht works.) I’d like to see Apollo take it easier on this knees but his flying style, he’s certainly a thick flyer that’s for sure, is inherently challenging to one’s knees thanks to the landings. Crews is a helluva prospect and has a legit chance to be a main event player for years to come. No guarantees but hes got all the tools or so it seems.

On Roman Reigns: The audience is passionate about their feelings toward Roman Reigns which isn’t all bad. If there were crickets then that would be bad. Most fans are booing but they are also making noise which is encouraging. I’m not even sure any more what reactions the live audience would provide us viewers if Reigns was turned in to a full fledged villain. Just my take but how Roman Reigns has been booked may be the single biggest reason that fans are so reluctant and resistant to accept him as a fan favorite. That may sound over simplistic but today’s audience is more complex and knowledgeable than their predecessors of any generation and as a society few like being ‘force fed’ any thing. It’s that defiance thing. Roman Reigns is a talented, valuable piece of talent who’s a long term, work in progress and his TV persona isn’t close to being refined as it will be say by WM33 in Orlando for example. Patience is the key here for all, however, in the age of defiance patience is a fleeting trait.
