Jim Ross Blogs On Joey Styles’ Departure From WWE, The Brand Split, More

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.”
