Jim Ross Blogs On Who Brock Lesnar Should Face At WrestleMania, WWE Payback, Steve Austin
Jim Ross posted his latest blog on his website today where he speaks about last night's WWE Payback show, and in particular the main event. You can see a few excerpts below:
WWE Payback PPV:
"Overall, I thought the show was solid?not great but certainly a solid show that had it's moments. With the overall lack of main event depth in the business, I often wonder if it's possible to have a successful run of 'great' shows from beginning until end within the PPV world. Nonetheless, Payback was solid and I'm happy that I got home in time to watch it live."
Payback main event:
"The show did need a big finish and the Fatal Four Way WWE Title bout delivered that result. The fans certainly made their feelings known that they wanted the Shield to get back together. Will WWE listen or do they have a better plan in mind? I do feel that Reigns should be a villain without question which will subsequently foster him straight into the upper echelon as a fan favorite if executed soundly and logically. I had no problem with Rollins winning even though some fans via Twitter @JRsBBQ did but Rollins is still evolving and I say let him grow. As I've said on the Ross Report podcast, I'd keep Rollins as the champion including him dodging a Lesnar bullet at Summer Slam, Lesnar wins the Royal Rumble and then it's Brock vs Rollins at WrestleMania in Texas where the 'chasing' fan favorite regains the championship."
Steve Austin's podcast going back to WWE Network:
"As I eluded to in one of our last blogs here a few days ago, Steve Austin is returning to the WWE Network on June 1 to interview Paul Heyman. That will be a great piece of business between two old friends. Smart positioning by WWE to entice fans to subscribe to the WWE Network. That interview alone is worth the $9.99."
Upcoming guests on his podcast:
"Also this week I will be talking to both Bret 'Hitman' Hart and Mike Tenay for future Ross Report Podcasts. Then Wednesday night I finally get to exhale as the Mrs. and I will go see the Eagles live in concert in OKC. Nice week to say the least."
