Jim Ross Blogs: Cyborg to WWE rumor, Mistico, Spoilers

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

On Cyborg Santos To WWE: Is Cris Cyborg leaving MMA/Strikeforce to migrate to WWE? Beats the hell out of me just as she would if she chose to but it is an interesting internet rumor. Seeing more athletic, hard hitting women compete in WWE is intriguing for me as a fan. Cris Cyborg is arguably the baddest women on the planet but she would need to learn better English and the art form of pro wrestling or she would run out of opposition in WWE just as she has seemingly done in MMA. Cyborg would be huge draw on a WWE event in Brazil, for example, or so I think.

On Mistico’s Name Change: The Mistico name is owned by the wrestling promotion CMLL in Mexico City which is why the athletes formerly known as Mistico is now known as Sin Cara. I expect Sin Cara to debut after WM27 so as to not get lost in the Wrestlemania shuffle so to speak. Right now it’s all about WM27 and not about introducing new people. Makes sense to me.

On Spoilers: IF I knew TV surprises why would I share them? I generally don’t know the surprises that I see on Raw, for example, and if I did I damn sure wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise for others. Am I wrong here?

Update on today's WWE press conference in Mexico

At today’s WWE press conference in Mexico City, it is likely that WWE will announce two major things.

The first is that they will announce that they have signed the wrestler formerly known as Mistico. The other announcement could be that they are going to tape TV in Mexico for the first time when they tour there in May.

We’ll have more later.
