Jim Ross Blog: Thoughts on Mauro Ranallo’s SD! Debut, Possibility of Rock vs Undertaker at ‘Mania, Possible ‘Taker Opponents, More

January 9, 2016

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

Don’t forget, tickets for the three “RINGSIDE with Jim Ross and Friends” shows in Dallas during WrestleMania weekend at the Dallas House of Blues are available starting at $20 ticketmaster.com.

“I don’t ‘feel’ Rock vs Taker today either but that doesn’t mean that it can’t work. I like Rock vs Lesnar a bit more. Taker vs a member of the Wyatt Family has my interest especially if the Wyatt’s turn on Bray in the process.”

“I firmly believe that a talent can be made ready for Wrestlemania in April by starting in January. For example, Luke Harper could be heated up to face Taker on April 3 with the threat of the Wyatt’s looming over Taker’s head in Texas. In other words, it is all about smart booking, rocket shipping the talent by getting them on a roll which WWE seems reluctant to do at times.”

“MAURO IS A SKILLED PRO. GREAT HIRE BY WWE. I, TOO, HOPE THAT HE GETS A SHOT AT WRESTLEMANIA.”
