Jim Ross Blogs – John Cena, Jake Roberts, WWE IC/US Titles

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

On Jake Roberts: Speaking of the DDT our best get well wishes go out to WWE HOFer Jake Roberts who’s hospitalized in Las Vegas with double pneumonia. Here’s hoping that Jake makes a full recovery. His podcast appearance on the Ross Report was one of our best down and dirty, tell it like it is shows we’ve done.

On WWE’s Secondary Champions: Neither the IC or US Titles are topical at this point in time and won’t be until the champions get ‘hot’ and involved in a personal issues based around the titles. A long term commitment must be made within the company for this to occur.

On John Cena: Regarding Cena, I’d love to see him begin to have a mat metamorphous as he prepares to go to battle with Brock again. That could come in the form of dead serious promos, ring attire tweaks, in ring actions which could be as simple as getting himself disqualified by physically abusing a referee or even confronting his biggest ally Michael Cole. A sit down with Cole and Cena with Cena going off would get fan’s attention. I do feel that a change in Cena’s persona leading into NOC is needed and to not do something would be a mistake.

On Wrestling Booking: Simple little reminder when booking a pro wrestling TV show, 50/50 booking no matter the form that it takes, is generally a waste of TV time except for the exposure the talents get by merely being on camera. Fans want to see talents get on a roll but not to the point to where said talents are being force fed to them. There’s a delicate balance between building talent and getting them hot and cramming them down one’s throat. Today’s fans are more apt to spit the over pushed talents back at the promotion than in any other era.
