Jim Ross On What Should Close WWE TLC, Wrestlers Stepping Up After NXT, Excitement For NJPW PPV

Jim Ross posted his latest blog at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights:

Calling the January 4th NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 9 PPV:

"Still no word on who will work with me broadcasting the Wrestle Kingdom 9 PPV from Tokyo on January 4 but I'm told that we are getting closer. This is an epic assignment as the event is four hours long, is a helluva flight from Oklahoma to Tokyo, and it features many talents that I've never seen wrestle in person but have spends hours watching their matches and reading about them. This assignment will be one of the more challenging that I've ever had in my career but I couldn't be more excited. I love the challenge of delivering the goods and overcoming language issues, long travel and working with an all new TV crew who mostly does not understand English from what I'm told."

Wrestlers stepping up tonight:

"I'm very opened minded about what to expect from TLC but after seeing the effort put forth on Thursday night's @WWENETWORK two hour special I'd suggest that there might be a little extra pep in the step of the men and women performing on TLC."

What should close tonight's WWE TLC PPV:

"I hope that Ambrose vs. Wyatt closes the show in their TLC Main Event as I feel it sends a positive message to the locker room, the fan base and all involved. I do expect some viable surprises during the show which should build momentum for January's new subscribers or renewals especially with the Royal Rumble included for, yes, you've got it, $9.99."

Much more is contained in Ross' latest blog, including contacting TNA about Mike Tenay to broadcast the NJPW PPV with him, his story on Darren Drozdov for FOX Sports, how NXT talents should be introduced and RAW and SmackDown and much more. You can check out the full entry by clicking here.
