Jim Ross has posted his latest blog on his official website, JRsbarbq.com. Here are some of the more notable things he wrote.
Last night's Raw: "One element that I really enjoyed regarding Raw was the various 'hooks' that were utilized to keep me tuned in and to not channel surf as much during the commercial breaks. In my opinion, every episodically produced TV show, wrestling or otherwise, should do al they can to keep their audience emotionally invested from segment to segment but to also promote 'next week.' Getting a TV audience to think 'next week' is a huge matter when producing weekly, episodic TV."
Reaction to the tri-branded WWE Divas trade: "I haven't throughly examined the 'huge' Diva trade...is that where 'huge' or plus sized Divas are traded....never mind. Bottom line is that many fans would like to see the Divas become a more vital part of every TV wrestling show that airs. I would like to see on going issues forwarded on the weekly, wrestling TV shows too as it simply provides the viewer with more TV personas to emotionally invest."
Nancy O'Dell and Maria Menounos hosting Raw: "I did not dislike Nancy O'Dell or Maria Menounos' efforts on Raw as they were non abrasive, executed smoothly, performed what most would have expected them to do plus they will provide ample opportunities for WWE to garner additional publicity from their appearances. Isn't that the primary reason for 'Guest Hosts' anyway? If any one thinks that a guest host is going to walk onto Raw and deliver in a 5 star, wrestling main event, then think again. It's all about the sizzle and facilitating the WWE talents to provide the steak."
