Jim Ross posted the following in his blog at JRsBarBQ.com about last night's Old School Raw:
- Thought it was one of the better Piper's Pit segments that we've seen over the past few years. Succinct, cut to the chase content, etc. Nice rub for the Shield. Roddy endorsing Punk did nothing but good as well.
- No issues with Lesnar/Henry/Show but for anyone to think that Lesnar is as hot right how as he needs to be isn't looking at Brock through honest eyes. His absence was long and Brock wasn't red hot when he left. The former WWE and UFC champion is an amazing talent but he's got little traction from where I sit and needs to promoted aggressively and soon if he's expected to sell PPV's at WM30. The good news is that it can be done.
- Actually enjoyed the aggressiveness of the Divas tag as the women of WWE continue to fight for relevance on Monday Night RAW. Aksana especially got my attention with her aggression.
- The final surprise of Jake the Snake Roberts was a good surprise. Jake looked good and he was well received. Via @DDPYoga and making smart, personal decisions, Jake has gotten himself healthier and the alternative if he had continued to travel his former road was bleak.
- I'm still confused as to where the Daniel Bryan/Wyatt Family storyline is headed. I'm trying to like it as I'm a big fan of all the men involved in the equation but I don't know much more about their relationship or issues than I knew last week. As a fan, I needed a little more concrete info or a viable tease from these four men than I was provided.
- Good to hear that Jerry Lawler is fine after Monday's health scare. Sounds as if King had a stomach virus or food poisoning but NO heart issues Monday in Baltimore. I hope to have a conversation with King this week if he can work me into his busy schedule. It's not easy being a combination of a superhero and Larry Flynt. :)
