Jim Ross is back with yet another blog over on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights:
-
NXT is doing its work as many new faces from developmental are
beginning to to occupy key, roster spots on RAW and Smackdown. Some
incumbent talents on the main roster who are 'peculating' might want to
glance over their shoulder. More, outstanding NXT prospects are pushing
to be "next" on the call up list. Competition is on going and good for
all. It will take time for all the 'new' to be facilitated which means
that it will take patience of which many fans and some talents don't
have in an abundance. I see much of 1013 being a 'transition year,' of
sort, which means fresh, new, and exciting times on WWE TV programming.
-
The Shield continues to evolve and their unit is becoming one of the
hottest entities within WWE in years. If they can stay healthy, which
there are no guarantees, and continue to evolve and master their craft
these three can be big time players in WWE for years to come. Hopefully,
they will continue down their current path as I would like to see where
that would take the trio at WM30 in New Orleans.
- For my money,
no one on any WWE broadcast over shadows Daniel Bryan who is arguably
the best technical wrestler in the business and his consistent
performances week after week often times goes unmentioned. Bryan has the
same skill set that Bret Hart had back in the day and that is making
everyone that he's in the ring with better. That is a true artform and
is one that is battling to make a comeback in today's world of sports
entertainment.
- The Bray Wyatt Family vignette was spot on and
after seeing them perform as much as I have in NXT I can attest that
they will, without question, contribute positively to WWE once they
arrive on RAW and/or Smackdown. Wyatt has success and athleticism in his
blood and has that rare, second gear that most big men do not possess. I
can't stress how important that is. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are
big, rugged dudes who, at times, remind me of a young Mick Foley or
Bruiser Brody inasmuch as they are 'brawlers' who move well for being
such big men.
