Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry, here are the highlights…
On Talent Appearing on Both Brands: “I do like the casting of both Mick Foley and Daniel Bryan on their respective shows but I’m not overly wild about the cross pollination, for lack of a better term, of the RAW and Smackdown Live talents on each others shows. I’m hopeful that this will be an occasional matter and is only being used to promote Lesnar vs Orton at Summer Slam. Considering that essentially Brock Lesnar and John Cena are the only true, ‘over’ talents on WWE TV these days when it comes to selling out live events, scores of merch, and motivating a multitude of fans to enjoy major events and more on the @WWENetwork, I applaud WWE for continuing to do all that they can to get other talents elevated to that elusive, next level.”
On Joey Styles’ WWE Departure: “Sad to hear that my friend Joey Styles has left WWE. I know that Joey enjoyed his work there and was a life long WWE fan while growing up in Stamford, CT. I’d love to tag team with Joe on some RINGSIDE Shows in the future plus get him on our podcast too. Joey Styles is a great guy who has plenty to offer.”
