Jim Ross On Fan Attacking Roman Reigns, AAA TripleMania PPV Issues, NXT TakeOver Selling Out, More
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted his latest blog talking Roman Reigsn, TripleMania, NXT and much more. You can see a few highlights below, and the full post at this link.
Fan attacking Roman Reigns at a live event:
"It takes a real idiot to get physically involved in a pro wrestling match as a 'fan' and I use that term loosely did in Victoria, B.C. with Roman Reigns over the weekend. I think the guy should have been jailed and not just banned for life from WWE events as how is that going to be legislated? The ignorant person is lucky this happened in this era and not in a previous generation or his penalty would have been handled on site, in the back of the arena, for better or for worse. Cowboy Bill Watts enjoyed being the judge, jury and executioner when unruly, often times inebriated fans got physical with the talents. These fans got assaulted, I'm not condoning this, and then they still went to jail."

TripleMania PPV issues:
"Sorry to hear of AAA's Triplemania PPV had so many production issues for their big event Sunday. I had planned on watching the show as I was curious about it but with the Steelers on TV, the decision was made to forgo the PPV and perhaps catch the replay. That's not likely now but hopefully AAA will persevere and address their technical issues and stay in th PPV game in North America. I did hear that the last two bouts were really good. I heard good things about the show in spite of the production snafus so don't let me sway you from watching it one way or another. I support AAA just as I do all promotions."
NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn selling out:
"Congrats to WWE NXT for selling out the Barclay Center in Brooklyn the night before Summer Slam and at the same time as our RINGSIDE w/ Jim Ross Show in NYC at the Gramercy Theater. NXT is an amazing success story that poses an interesting conundrum for WWE and that is how do they introduce all the young talents that are ready to be called up in a manner that is impactful and memorable? These 'introductions' are critical to the process. I'd estimate that approximately 14,000 fans will sell out the Barclay Center three nights in a row for WWE themed events which is an amazing accomplishment."
