Jim Ross on Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho, Size and Much More

Jim Ross consistently provides quality insight into the wrestling business and much more on his website.  His most recent blog entry covers a variety of topics in regards to the WWE, including Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho and the size of WWE Superstars. 

On Brock Lesnar:

"

Do I think that Brock Lesnar will return to WWE in 2012? Been asked many Brock questions since his retirement from UFC but this one seems to be the one most frequently posed. The answer is no. Lesnar's first appearance, if he even has one, should be at a WrestleMania and this year's WM28 already has a headliner in @TheRock vs. @JohnCena plus Undertaker's Streak which I assume will also take place. 

"

He gets it, Brock Lesnar's return is big money...big money that would be better served on a card that isn't already featuring a massive draw of a main event.

On Chris Jericho:

"

What do I expect from Chris Jericho live on Raw this Monday night? I have no way of knowing but w/o saying a word he made an impact and created ample discussion last week in Memphis. What if Jericho decided to disrespect the live audience and the TV viewers again by NOT addressing them again this week? Would there be outrage, disgust or smiles?

Have I ever experienced a wrestling promo that had significant impact where essentially nothing was said? Yes...Undertaker and HHH last year in their initial build to WrestleMania. That was one of the most memorable segments of Raw TV in years. 

"

I think two weeks of silence from Chris Jericho would be a death sentence for his return angle, but there's no doubt that it got fans buzzing.  

On size:

"

Does the lack of size of some wrestlers in WWE adversely affect me as a fan? Absolutely not. I like talented wrestlers and those individuals come in a variety of shapes and sizes. If everyone is 6'4", 250 pounds, who is visually unique? An athlete's heart and charisma can't be measured by pounds and inches.

"

This is one of the many reasons why J.R. needs to be a prominent voice in the WWE offices—he understands the value of the undersized wrestlers.  

These quotes are a very small snippet of the insight and opinion that J.R. provides in his blog, which I fully recommend fans read.  While you're at it, you can give his BBQ sauce a shot.  I'm tempted each time I give his blogs a read.
