Jim Ross on Kurt Angle signing with TNA, power issue on Raw and more
On Wednesday, September 27, 2006 at 2:20 PM EST Jim Ross has added a new blog over on his official website where he talks about Kurt Angle signing with TNA, this weeks Monday Night Raw in Oklahoma City and more.
Ross on Kurt Angle signing with TNA: "What is the over/under on how long Kurt Angle stays in TNA? I think the world of Kurt and hope he gets totally healthy much sooner than later. Perhaps being a part of TNA will work for Kurt as it relates to travel and in ring demands. I do think this genre is much better suited for Angle than mixed martial arts, UFC, etc. I wish Kurt well on his new opportunity and that is true, damn true."
On the power issues at the start of Raw on Monday: "It’s a live TV show that simply experienced a power failure due to some issue with the heat in the arena essentially tripping massive breakers in the Ford Center. The arena itself is a first class facility hosting many major events including a WWE pay per view in 2005 and the NBA Hornets. It certainly isn’t as if every minute of every live RAW broadcast is like a well oiled machine. It’s live TV and things happen virtually every week that most of us don’t expect. RAW # 696 will be remembered that way for me."
On Ric Flair wrestling more often: "Ric Flair was called into action again Monday night. I love “Naitch" but less is more as it relates to seeing this legend in the ring. Flair’s matches should be kept as “special occasions" and not weekly occurrences."
