– Jim Ross has posted his latest blog online. A couple of highlights are below:

On Sasha Banks & Charlotte closing Raw: “Bold move to put a promo segment to close the show especially when the promo segment is going to be done by a talent with little, long promo, show ending experience. This was a classic, VKM ‘calculated risk’ that paid off nicely.”

On their rivalry: “The Charlotte-Sasha Banks rivalry has been well scripted and produced and on Monday night all involved executed their roles well. I find it shocking that some people, even many within the business, are complaining about how many times the two women have wrestled each other which I simply don’t understand. I feel that both women have the skill set to carry out a long arcing storyline but in today’s microwave climate patience is not a virtue with today’s fan base for the most part.”

On their Iron Man match at Roadblock: “The 30 minute Ironman, (why not Ironwomen BTW?) match will be a challenge to Sasha and Charlotte as it will require a logical pace, timely selling, a on going, under lying thread to their match I.E. someone has a dinged body part and it is exploited. I applaud WWE and the two ladies for this booking and wish them the best of luck in telling a great story while continuing to advance their gender’s place within the “man’s world” of pro wrestling.”
