Jim Ross Teases WWE Changes
In his latest blog entry, Jim Ross acknowledges a ratings decline across WWE programming and says viewers can expect big changes in the future:
"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 Mondayâs 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 manâs opinion.
"Itâs 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."

Mr. Ross: First EDGE has got to go! He is a bad example for our youth with his relentless pursuit of ways to cheat and sexual content. I won't let my kid/grandkids watch anymore of this, especially since UNDERTAKER is gone. Then Randy Orton is another one. A TRAITOR to this country if reports he was/is a DESERTER. We don't watch the DIVA'S except in legit matches and not strumping across the ring.
