WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another blog at Jrsbarbq.com where he addresses SummerSlam 2014 and the fact that the format leaked while he also discusses the Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose match at the show.
Alberto Del Rio Appearing At AAA iPPV In Mexico On SummerSlam Sunday
As Sports World News reported over the weekend, the SummerSlam lineup -- including match order and the projected duration of each bout for Sunday -- leaked online, and Ross touched on this in his blog.
"Not sure how this happens but the WWE [SummerSlam] card info and lineup of matches including the match times leaked out to the internet over the past several hours," Ross wrote. "This is a big card with [eight] matches plus all the obligatory and often times 'fill' of backstage bits that allegedly add 'entertainment' content to the event which means that some of the matches on the show won't get the [bell-to-bell] time that some would want to see them have which will prevent the show from being as good as it could be. Nonetheless I'm anxious to watch the event on the WWE Network of which I am renewing."
Backstage Update On WWE Budget Cuts
Ross also gave his thoughts on the Ambrose vs. Rollins match on Sunday as he believes it should open up the show and he isn't a fan of the Lumberjack Match stipulation. According to the leaked format, it appears as though The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship will open the show.
"Speaking of [SummerSlam], the Ambrose vs. Rollins match which I think should start the PPV is a Lumberjack Match. Why?" he blogged. "Does this match really need a stipulation? How about a stip to where the two, talented, hungry, young stars WRESTLE until someone wins? Plus, the 'leaked info' says that Miz vs. Ziggler for the IC Title is scheduled to have only 10 minutes to transact their business. That can't be correct, can it??"
Ross also gave an update on his book and much more in the full blog post, which can be read in its entirety by clicking here.
