Jim Ross talks about SummerSlam, The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar and more

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the Q&A portion of his website recently and down below are some of the excerpts from it.

On how someone can become a broadcaster in WWE:

“One would go about getting a TV job at WWE just like any other broadcast entity. They seem to require a college degree in the field now and some outside the wrestling business experience so that candidates can build a reel.”

On longer-tenured WWE Divas taking a backseat to NXT call-ups:

“That’s largely up to them. If you give them enough reasons to NOT put you in the ‘back seat’ then it’s more challenging to find yourself there.”

On building a relationship with the late Roddy Piper:

Just building a relationship with him after we had both been in the business many years before ever meeting. I enjoyed talking about a variety of things with Roddy. He was unique and will be missed.

On if WWE has enough star power to fill up the four-hour SummerSlam event:

Yes, to varying degrees but some won’t be too through or deep. There is one match at Summerslam that will sell the show and that is Taker vs. Lesnar and the rest is support material with the exception of a potential Rollins Vs Cena title vs. title  match.
