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 the WWE Wellness Policy: WWE Wellness Policy being applicable to full-time talents only. I have no issues with this philosophy as it is daunting to test part-timers who are not in the everyday rotation of the roster. WWE’s drug testing program is by far the best within the genre, and it strikes me odd that other company’s who either rarely test their talents or don’t do it all are seldom questioned on this matter simply because “they can’t afford it.” Wouldn’t the wellness of one’s athletes be a vital part of doing business? Many critics of this matter have no idea what Lesnar’s contract states nor the full understanding of the Wellness Policy in general. Please do not construe this as me eluding to the fact that I enough PED usage even in an entertainment entity. I don;t. Talents don”t need them, but the narcissistic nature of many pro wrestlers always will rear its ugly head when it comes to how they look and the short cuts some talents take to achieve an unnatural appearance.
On rumors of Roderick Strong possibly going to WWE: Loved having Roddy Strong in Oklahoma recently for OklaMania and his match with Dalton Castle was stellar. I expect Roddy to join WWE soon, and he will be a great addition to their roster when he does.
Strong said his goodbyes at the PWG show on Saturday night and the belief is that he is starting up with WWE very soon. Ross also talked about the brand split 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:
