WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry over at his website where he gives his thoughts on various topics. Here are the highlights.
On SummerSlam: SummerSlam looks to be potentially one of WWE’s best, pure in ring wrestling shows in recent memory as there are multiple matches that have a legit shot at ‘stealing the show.’ I’ll have my predictions coming soon.
On Goldberg wrestling one more match: Bill Goldberg, representing WWE 2K17 will be in Brooklyn this weekend doing some promotional work for the video game but could we end up seeing more? Goldberg is in fighting shape and has publicly expressed that he would love to step back in the ring one more time, can you say Wrestlemania in Orlando? That feels like a longshot at best, but it is certainly an intriguing idea that many fans would covet.
On Shawn Michaels being a coach at the WWE Performance Center: Upon talking to Shawn Michaels for our next Fox piece, he shared with me that he and his family have relocated to Florida from Texas and that he will be doing some work in the WWE Performance Center which will be a Godsend for the students there. Shawn’s 2002 Summer Slam match vs. HHH is one of my all time favorite bouts that I ever broadcast and Michaels returning to the ring after a four-year layoff and picking up where he left off is nothing short of extraordinary and solidifies to many that HBK is the greatest in ring performer of all time. This is a tremendous ‘get’ for WWE even if Shawn is only part time and will make their Performance Center even stronger. Shawn shared with me his genuine excitement to help coach they young talents when his schedule permits and also be a much-needed mentor to them.
Ross also talked about TNA and more. You can read the entire blog here. In you haven’t, you can listen to the latest episode of the Ross Report here:
