JR Blog: Royal Rumble Thoughts, Punk vs. Orton, More

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another blog on jrsbarbq.com with Royal Rumble thoughts. Here are some highlights:

- John Morrison's leap of faith to the security wall and show of athleticism will be on many future Royal Rumble highlight packages. I thought Morrison might last a little longer in the RR match but that one interval served Morrison well.

- Dolph Ziggler reminds me somewhat of the great Pat Patterson of many years gone by not to mention that the athletic Ziggler has some Mr. Perfect traits as well. Ziggler can become very, very good in time especially when he becomes more comfortable on the mic. However with heat seeking missile Vickie Guerrero aligned with Dolph, Ziggler's need to talk isn't a priority....yet.

- Great ovations from where I was sitting at home in my old La-Z-Boy for both Booker T and Kevin Nash. Good to see both men looking physically fit and the Boston crowd ate up both stars surprise appearances. I have no idea if their Royal Rumble appearances were one offs or if they will be hanging around WWE at least on a part time basis. Both have skills that they can add to the mix even if they don't step back into a wrestling ring.

- CM Punk had a MVP like performance Sunday night and impressed me on numerous exchanges both athletically and with his facial expressions. Looks like Punk vs. Orton is going to be on the WM27 menu unless I'm wrong and, BTW, that happens frequently. Bottom line....good night for Punk.

- I learned that Steve Austin is excited about hosting Tough Enough and as we all are awaiting to see who his trainers are going to be. Austin should be highly entertaining in this natural, free flowing environment.

- Yours truly is finishing my last voice over session with THQ for the WWE All Star Video Game this Tuesday afternoon here in Oklahoma. This game is going to kick ass and is a fantasy booker's dream. I hope to be able to work with THQ and do all I can to promote this very important project not only for WWE, THQ but for yours truly as well.

Searched up Morrison's parkour moment, fucking awesome! Hopefully something big comes from this for him. I also saw him do some other pretty cool things in the Raw Rumble, Morrison is just amazing.

Hopefully the commentating in All Stars is actual good, unlike pretty much every single Smackdown vs. Raw game. Looking forward to All Stars either way.
