WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog at JRsBarBQ.com with thoughts on last night’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. Here are some highlights of what JR said about:
The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family: “Loved the 6 Man Tag featuring the Shield and the Wyatt’s. Best match of the night in my opinion. All 6 men distinguished themselves and as I tweeted Sunday night @JRsBBQ all of them have come a long way from Dale Mabry in Tampa..Full Sail in Orlando…to being a featured attraction on a WWE PPV. As a former consultant to the developmental team, I was very proud of the athletes. WWE has six guys on the two units who all, in their own way, are going to be contributors to the company.”
The Elimination Chamber Match: “Thought the six athlete’s efforts inside the Chamber was stellar. This is a painful match to watch not just from ringside but at home on PPV as well. The steel is unforgiving and damaging on the bodies of every man in it. Some fans, as I previously mentioned, did not like the ending of the match as they felt that Daniel Bryan should have became the WWE Champion. I won’t go into my thought process on the slow burn theory of booking but it does work but, admittedly, only if it is timely re: pulling the trigger. That’s a subjective matter, a gut feeling issue, and there is no proven formula for pulling the trigger.”
WrestleMania XXX Main Event: “I do know that when it says ‘card subject to change’ that it means any thing can happen and based on current events and if I was a passionate, Daniel Bryan fan of which there seems to be many, I’d MUCH rather see DB have his ‘moment’ at WM30 than elsewhere.”
“My instincts tell me that WWE will get it ‘right’ at WM30 in NOLA even though some fans will bitch at ‘Why did it take so long” or “I’m not a Daniel Bryan fan.'”
