Jim Ross has given his reasons for why the WWE is making such drastic changes. With the cable ratings down to a 2.9 these terms does not suit well with Vincent McMahon.

Here are the reasons and a few comments JR’s has made:

I am anxious to see what changes are initiated on Monday Night Raw this week as it seems that several changes are rumored to be on their way. Last Monday’s lackluster TV rating for Monday Night Raw would certainly be reason enough to move these changes along as no one could ever be content with a 2.9 national cable rating. Personally, I am for longer match times and to see if some of the younger, talented individuals who have been developing, some for quite some time, can add to the mix and provide a “fresh feel” to the presentation. The announcers are talking less, which I have zero issues with quite honestly as it is television and not radio, but one could also make a case that the televised, talking segments could be more succinct as well. One man’s opinion.

It’s time to “reshuffle” the deck as the old wrestling expression goes and attempt to create new stars involved in new issues which might give cause for “business picking up”.

Seems like a natural move for the NWA to add Ric Flair to the list of those being inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame. Flair will be inducted by Jim Cornette which will no doubt be entertaining and informative as it relates to JC’s personal interactions with “Naitch”. This event in Atlanta is next Saturday and from what I understand “plenty” of seats are still available.

Congrats to Chris Bell for his diligence in getting his film, “Bigger, Stronger, Faster” produced and in some theatres. I predict this film will do really well on DVD and it has one definite customer in yours truly. I despise the fact that athletes abuse their bodies by still using steroids and HGH and pray for the day that a conclusive drug test for HGH is developed, preferably thru urinalysis. Every sports and entertainment entity will always have its cheaters but closing all the perceived “loopholes” and getting as “healthy” a roster, no matter the team or company” should be the major goal for all that can affect this matter. One of the things that attracts me to MMA is the utilization of smaller albeit highly skilled athletes. The days of sports entertainers having to be “bigger than life” are history in my view. “Bigger than life” personalities and “bigger than life” skill sets however are still necessary ingredients for success.
