Jim Ross has updated his blog JRsBarBQ.com and here are some
highlights...
Jesse Ventura Hosting RAW: Jesse Ventura did an excellent job as guest
general manager ... Jesse looked good, had his usual distinctive,
great delivery and, for me, created an interest in checking out his
new "Conspiracy Theory" program that debuts soon on truTV. Ventura and
McMahon was a fun trip down memory lane and they were, perhaps, the
2nd best broadcast team to appear on Monday Night Raw in a good while
as in the summer of '08. Just one man's totally biased opinion. I
would have been happy to have flown in and produced the two wrestling
legends.
Sheamus' Push: "Sheamus has found himself in a great spot to help
begin building his long term foundation in WWE. I read where some
pundits felt the incident between the young Irishman and John Cena was
"flat." I disagree. Obviously, the crowd sitting in their seats over
three hours is challenging, has an influence but isn't the real
reason. However, let's all remember that Sheamus hasn't been on Raw in
any significant role for, what, a month, 5 weeks? Sheamus has not even
been in a long term personal issue with a main event, Raw wrestler
yet...until now. Bottom line is that Sheamus' persona is still
evolving and the next two weeks and then TLC is highly important to
Sheamus' development. At worst, the WWE has made a new, fresh main
event for a PPV and from where I sit that is a good thing.
The Rock Saying He'd Work With WWE Again: "I would bet a 6 Pak
Challenge and throw in a case of BBQ Sauce that those remarks don't
mean that Dwayne is thinking about wrestling again. I do not see that
occurring but his appearances could mean an unlimited number of other
things that don't include putting on the tights. Time will tell."

They didn't let Jesse do enough. He's a legend.

little tepid. I don't think they appreciated just what a cool thing
it was that they were getting to witness. Most of them too young to
remember, I guess.
I remember I used to HATE announcer Vince McMahon, he was such a shill
for the good guys. But Jesse Ventura was, IMO, probably the best
announcer ever, and definitely the best heel announcer (I know Bobby
Heenan has his fans but still).
I liked the Sheamus bit, except for Cena. I always like to see
something different.
They're giving him quite a push. Why do I think it's going to end up
with the management blaming him for failing?
