Jim Ross Would Rather Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey Fight One On One At Wrestlemania

In the latest episode of his Ross Report podcast (via Wrestling Inc), Jim Ross spoke about the rumored Wrestlemania 35 match between Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch, and how he wishes it were just between Rousey and Lynch. Here are highlights:

On making the triple threat an elimination match: “I do believe that Becky, Charlotte, and Ronda will be in the main event at WrestleMania. I believe it will be a triple threat match. If you really wanted to add some drama to it, and make somebody, [WWE] may consider Busted Open [Radio]’s Bubba Ray Dudley’s suggestion of making it an elimination match, so you’ve got to have two eliminations before one person’s declared the winner. And to me, that’s not a bad idea whatsoever.”

On wishing it were a singles match: “People are getting all upset about this triple threat thing and the suspension, and the potential for a triple threat match. Hey, I’m like a lot of folks. I’m not sitting here blind. I would rather see Becky Lynch versus Ronda Rousey because that issue became so strong and so personal. I’d rather see, finally, those two one-on-one, but that doesn’t look like the way it’s going and there may be reasons for that you and I aren’t aware of. We don’t know how much longer Ronda’s going to be there, if she’s going to start a family. It’s not exactly something you can mark on your calendar.”

On if Seth Rollins is too small to defeat Brock Lesnar: “Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar to win the WWE title in the Cow Palace, right? 15 years ago. So when people say, ‘well, so-and-so, Finn Bálor, is not big enough to beat Brock Lesnar. It’s not realistic. It’s not believable.’ Are you kidding? Are you that stupid? Same thing with Seth Rollins. He’s no giant, but he’s a hell of a lot bigger than Eddie Guerrero, he’s bigger than Finn Bálor, so I hope we don’t get that excuse, ‘Seth Rollins is too small.’ He’s not. And there [are] a million right ways to beat Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar has a lot more respect for his income than his win/loss record. Trust me on that. So I wonder if Lesnar taking Eddie Guerrero for granted in the Cow Palace 15 years ago to lose the WWE title will have any bearing on how he prepares for a smaller guy. Interesting sidebar story, don’t you think?”
