In his latest blog posts, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross issued comments on the Sting to WWE rumors, the death of Daniel Bryan's father, the live crowd turning Bray Wyatt into a babyface against John Cena on Raw, and much more.
Jim Ross on the Sting to WWE rumors:
"Getting tons of questions regarding Sting signing with WWE of which I don't know the answer and if I did and was asked to keep it confidential I would, for the record. However, I see it as a no brainer for WWE to sign Sting and to begin immediately in monetizing his intellectual property. WWE owns virtually every minute of video tape that Sting has appeared on except his work in TNA. Some of the UWF content and early WCW matches are particularly outstanding."
Ross goes on to state that he thinks Sting should only wrestle one more match in WWE, a retirement match at WrestleMania 31. JR says that while some people "will lobby for that retirement match opposition to be Undertaker," he'd rather see Sting face off against "a suitable villain" who can benefit from "the rub" that Sting would provide.

Jim Ross on the death of Daniel Bryan's father:
"First of all, condolences to Daniel Bryan and his family on the loss of Bryan's father who passed away unexpectedly while Bryan was on his honeymoon.
No one can ever prepare for the sudden loss of a loved one especially one's father. I can recall vividly the night the Road Warriors returned to WWE at the Manhattan Center because that was the night my phone rang and I was told that my Dad, J.D. Ross, age 64, had suffered a heart attack. I got another call approximately 30 minutes later telling me that Dad didn't make it. The date was February 24, 1997."
There's nothing more to add here except we share in Ross' sentiments and send our condolences to Daniel Bryan and his family.
Jim Ross on the live Raw crowd singing along with Bray Wyatt:
"I'm not clear as to why featured villian Bray Wyatt has the audience singing along with him, especially a hymn, but I also don't know the creative plan for the talented, third generation performer. Nonetheless, I'm interested in where the Wyatts are traveling."
Ross then adds that "Perhaps that in itself is the point" and I couldn't agree more. Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt family have been a revelation to watch since their debut, and if you think about, Bray has already has two high-profile feuds with top babyfaces Daniel Bryan (Royal Rumble 2014) and John Cena (ongoing).
Yet the crowd just buys into whatever Bray Wyatt is selling, and so the lines are definitely being blurred in this case.
