Jim Ross On: Future of WWE, John Cena and More

Jim Ross has updated his official blog. Here are highlights from it:

On who JR sees "leading the charge" for WWE in the next five years: Randy  Orton, Edge, Burke, MVP, Kennedy, CM Punk, to name a few guys I think are good now and should be really good in "5 years." The developmental area has some studs and they will be stars if they aren’t "picked too green.

John Cena: "I would be willing to wager that the mere mention of John Cena, who, as best I know, will only be on the Monday Night Raw show in London in between filming a movie in New Orleans for the WWE, will flood arenas with boos, but at the end of the day Cena will still sell more merchandise than any other WWE Superstar who is on the tour in its entirety."

The Shawn Michaels vs. Batista Feud: "A personal issue is what is evolving between Shawn Michaels and Batista and neither have to change their present persona’s to make it work. I keep reading where one or the other and mostly Batista is going to "turn on HBK" but I don’t see that happening.

I love surprises as most wrestling fans do, but I think these two men can have their match or matches and HBK will have his fans, as will Batista, but I do expect The Animal to hear more boos than will Shawn. I’m personally invested and interested in this issue."
