Jim Ross Blogs: HHH-’Taker, ‘Sunny’, Austin-RAW, JBL

Jim Ross has a new blog entry up at http://www.JRSBARBQ.com/ Here are the highlights…

On HHH vs. Taker: Thought the cold open to the show featuring Undertaker/HHH was on the money and edited well. WWE TV folks do a marvelous job with their video features. IMO the Taker-HHH match could efficiently be promoted via video packages of the two future WWE HOF’ers greatest moments in WWE. Taker vs. The Game is now a No Holds Barred match at WM27 which differentiates it from the last two ‘Streak’ matches w/ HBK…good move in my estimation. HBK’s comments in the ‘sit down’ environment are effective. Love Shawn Michaels’ perspective of the upcoming WM27 main event. Being a Johnny Cash fan, I enjoy hearing his music being utilized for Taker’s current entrance theme as it gives the presentation a different feel specifically for this upcoming Wrestlemania.

Sunny: Congrats to Sunny on being named to the 2011 WWE HOF class. She really started it all with the risqué, Diva personification and portrayed a very effective ‘bad girl.’ One might say that the forecast for Atlanta the first weekend of April are for ‘Sunny days.’

On Steve Austin: The Dallas/WWE fans definitely came to see Stone Cold Steve Austin. Although Austin did not have that much to say nor did he overstay his welcome by any stretch, Austin stole the show Monday night and seemed to be having a great time interacting with the fans and even the cameramen. Austin’s fans long ago made a strong emotional bond with the Texas Rattlesnake that will seemingly last forever. @steveaustinBSR, on Twitter, can still command an audience as good as any WWE performer today or any previous generation.

On JBL: It was great seeing JBL surprise us by returning to Raw for, I assume, a cameo. John Layfield looks great , is doing wonderfully well in business and enjoying life after wrestling. I don’t expect JBL to rejoin the traveling troupe any time soon.
