Jim Ross Blog: Is Brock Lesnar Staying with WWE Past WrestleMania?, Comparing Lucha Underground to NXT & More

February 17, 2015

A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com, and below are some highlights:

“Sources are saying that it looks more promising that Brock Lesnar could well stay with WWE past WrestleMania due to concerns over long term health affects of competing in MMA specifically concussion oriented issues later in one’s life. Again, these are ‘sources’ and how reliable they are can only be judged after WM31 and following the status of the former UFC Heavyweight Champion. One thing is certain, if UFC believes, and rightfully so in my view, that CM Punk will sell PPV’s for at least his first two fights then what would a healthy Brock Lesnar mean to the UFC brand in a time where no combat sport company has a plethora of bona fide star power that can move the needle on the pay per view business.”

On Lucha Underground:

“Watching more Lucha Underground and it continues to remind me of when TBS did wrestling at Center Stage on West Peachtree in Atlanta. I loved that venue and the overall gig as living in Atlanta was a blast and I lived only about 15 minutes away from the building. Lucha smartly shoots their small but enthusiastic crowd which is comparable on how WWE shoots NXT. It’s essentially a plus sized TV studio with few more whistles and bells. It can create a unique atmosphere and fun live event experience.”
