Jim Ross Speaks on Survivor Series Announcing, Batista vs. Orton and More!

Submitted By Nick Noel on 11/18/08

Jim Ross has a new blog entry up, here is an sample of the entry: On Survivor Series Announcing Duties: The announcer assignments, which most people could care less about, should be interesting considering that there are so many tri-branded elimination tag bouts featured at the Survivor Series. Some of us preparation freaks like to know what bouts we will be responsible for but there is a good chance that info might not be available until Sunday or Saturday at the earliest. My philosophy has always been to prepare as if I am calling all the bouts and take it from there. Who knows, perhaps all three announce teams will be called into duty simultaneously for the matches that have talents from all three brands competing. On Batista vs. Orton: The Batista-Orton business is interesting because they spoke of their history and therefore the all important "personal issue" between the two exists and is understood by the fans. Nothing is more important when booking matches than putting individuals together that have a history or are developing one which then equates to the "personal issue" that gives consumers the motivation to make an emotional investment in their matches. On the 2009 WWE Hall of Fame Class: I am anxious to see or hear of a short list of potential WWE HOF'ers for the 2009 class simply out of curiosity. One would think that this group will be wisely utilized at the WM25 Fan Axxess event in conjunction with WM25 in Houston in April. We all have our "lists" and there are few events during the entire year that I enjoy attending more than the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. I wish that the event would start around 5 or 6 p.m. the night before 'Mania 25 so us old timers could celebrate with the inductees and their families and still be ready to rock on Sunday night in Reliant Stadium. :: DISCUSS THIS POST ON THE FORUMS! :: SEE MICKIE JAMES & THE DIVAS NUDE! :: BUY WRESTLING DVD'S THROUGH OUR STORE! :: GO BACK TO THE HOME PAGE WRESTLING EPICENTER STORE IS OPEN!
