Jim Ross Talks WWE Network, Developmental, and Cryptic "It Begins" Promos

WWE's Jim Ross may not be on television regularly at the moment, but he's certainly involved in various projects with the company.  At Ross' website, he keeps a blog where he typically drops some very interesting insight into the company, and himself as a commentator. 

In his most recent post, Ross touched on a great deal of topics ranging from the WWE Network to developmental at FCW, and even shared some thoughts on the cryptic "It Begins" promos that have been running. 

On the WWE Network, Ross highlights the difficulties they face in start up:

"

I hope to have a role on the WWE Network down the road but that has yet to be determined. Nonetheless I think a successful, WWE Network has the chance to be a game changer. Obviously, launching a new TV Network is an all hands on deck, 24X7 committment by all involved. The WWE Network is scheduled to debut on Sunday April 1, 2012 which is also WM28 on PPV. Perhaps the WWE Network will have portions of its programming that day live from Miami. Just an idea.  

"

He sounds as though he enjoyed his time spent at FCW checking out the talent, and had some interesting thoughts on how former Ring of Honor stars will fare:

"

My most recent trip to FCW in Florida was good. WWE has several, potential main eventers that are being groomed as we speak. No one candidate sticks out head and shoulders above the rest but there are many athletes that I feel will be in the hunt for a WWE roster spots sooner than later.  

The process is a long one and can take years to achieve much to the chagrin of some. Back in the day many wrestlers worked in territories for years before making it to WWE so why should today be any different? I realize that times have changed but calling a wrestler up to the main roster too soon is the kiss of death more often than not it seems. The athletes that come from organizations such as ROH have a little faster track to travel or so it seems.  

"

He also had a quick take on the "It Begins" promos, and he's a fan of the method:

"

WWE doing a nice job building anticipation for the 1/2/12 vignettes. Wrestling fans love to  anticipate and I'm surprised that more of this sort of promotion isn't done. One of the positive, by products of long term planning is to be able to do these types of vignettes, etc. 

"

These snippets are just a fraction of some of the interesting comments Jim Ross had in this most recent post.  He also talks Zack Ryder, Kurt Angle, Sting, John Morrison and who he believes should win Superstar of the Year on Monday.
