Jim Ross drops a pipe-bomb
 
When asked on his Twitter about whether or not he thinks Dolph Ziggler or Cody Rhodes will be a World Champion in 2012, Jim Ross replied with "If not, they both should quit."

Care to discuss?

Theo Dious 12-23-2011 10:25 PM

Is it me or has JR been kind of a twat lately?

Aguakate 12-23-2011 10:25 PM

Because of this, Jim Ross will be invited to appear at an upcoming RAW, and be humiliated somehow (yet again).

Supreme Olajuwon 12-23-2011 10:30 PM

Jim Ross hits the nail on the head so many times, he oughta go into carpentry.

#TurribleJoke

Mr. Nerfect 12-23-2011 10:34 PM

Apparently JR said the same thing to Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart in the 90's. Not sure if that's true or not.

Xero 12-23-2011 10:38 PM

Ziggler I think is ready, but Cody has a little bit more to go. Ziggler in 2012, Cody in 2013.

I firmly believe that Ziggler will win the MITB in 2012.

Mr. Nerfect 12-23-2011 10:42 PM

Ziggler was ready yesterday. Technically he's already been a World Champion, though.

Aguakate 12-23-2011 10:45 PM

Jim Ross comes across somewhat as a bitter old man, but he usually is right in what he says.

Supreme Olajuwon 12-23-2011 10:46 PM

How the fuck does Jim Ross come across as a bitter old man?

Supreme Olajuwon 12-23-2011 10:47 PM

Jim Ross gets shit on and humiliated repeatedly on national television, and still comes back for more.

On twitter, and on the Q&A's he does on his website. Read some of 'em.

Xero 12-23-2011 10:51 PM

I don't think he comes off as bitter as much as he comes off as disappointed with the product.

Supreme Olajuwon 12-23-2011 10:51 PM

I have read them. He sounds like a guy who knows a shit ton about wrestling who gives an honest answer to a lot of stupid questions.

Hey,J.R. how can you take all the humiliation by Michael Cole.


J.R.'s Answer:

It's a show...Cole is playing a villain. I don't take it seriously at all.



BOOOOOOO, JR IS SUCH A CONDESCENDING ASSHOLE

That's probably because his inbox gets flooded with stupid questions like who the new Kane is

Is the Stacy Keibler - George Clooney relationship an orchestrated storyline by Vince in order to get WWE in hollywood over?


J.R.'s Answer:

Uh, no. Stacy is long finished with the wrestling business.

Agreed. The dude seems happy with the hand life has dealt him. Can't see how that is bitter.

Wow, I just had to check to see if that was a real question, as a part of me thought that maybe you just made that up as an example of a stupid question.

But Jesus Christ someone actually asked that.

LOL ditto. I thought he made it up.

I guess "bitter" wasn't the best word to indicate what I was trying to say. I meant "rude", somewhere along those lines.

But you can see why he is like that.

Supreme Olajuwon 12-23-2011 11:25 PM

The real question should be is JR helping swerve us on this whole Clooney angle?

Aguakate 12-23-2011 11:27 PM

He's clearly in on it.

Kane Knight 12-23-2011 11:31 PM

Is this supposed to be controversial or something?

If Daniel Bryan is ready, Cody Rhodes is ready.

Emperor Smeat 12-24-2011 12:32 AM

If both stay on the same brand and stay as a heel, Cody Rhodes has the better shot of becoming a world champion in 2012 and doing it before Ziggler.

Raw seems a bit too packed in heels for the WWE title level right now, especially with Kane's return as a heel. Rhodes is arguably the #2 heel after Henry on Smackdown.

Although I wouldn't be as shocked if Ziggler won the Rumble or MitB case.

chrisat928 12-24-2011 12:42 AM

I love when people call wrestlers and other wrestling personalities assholes and such in this age.

When there are so many fucking idiots on the internet who do this kind of shit to people they supposedly like and look up too, it's no wonder these guys act like this.

I disagree. Both should get the shot sooner than later. Yes, DZ is on fire right now, but I think waiting too long on Cody (who by the way, everyone thought he and DiBiase would be in each other's place by now ever since Cody turned on Baldcore Holly.*) would have the same detriment as they had with someone like Christian. Especially true if they wait a whole 'nother freakin' year to elevate him.





*Don't deny it, people. I'm in that boat too. I saw the spark when he started the Dashing gimmick, but before that... yeah. Bland.

Mr. Pierre 12-24-2011 01:49 AM

WWE should set up a babyface chase for one of their World titles going into Mania, and I think it'll be with Punk. I could see him losing the championship to Ziggler at the Rumble and being the challenger.

FourFifty 12-24-2011 03:01 AM

This is far form a pipe bomb. I'm sure many fans feel the same way about Ziggler getting a legit run. Maybe Cody needs some more polish, but he's still damn good, great even.

Aguakate 12-24-2011 03:02 AM

Maybe JR is beginning to prepare us for another heel run, where he'll also bring back Fake Razor and Fake Diesel.

Autobahn 12-24-2011 10:01 AM

JR needs to turn into a badass, no nonsense submission machine.

George Clooney - annonymous RAW GM

WWE is obviously however waiting for Jennifer Hudson to do something important again so they can run out nOugat with her to get some rub from it.

Droford 12-24-2011 10:10 AM

Oh, and I will say that Cody Rhodes will NOT be a WORLD/WWE Champion in 2012. Dolph, maybe..

Nicky Fives 12-24-2011 10:38 AM

Cody needs to last 30+ minutes at Royal Rumble.....

I just don't feel Cody's main event material just yet. He's still coming into his own and is being built nicely. Most guys shouldn't have the trigger pulled until they're well established. That's something people now have seemed to forgot. If someone gets hot and doesn't get the title people just assume that WWE is shitting on them and "wasting an opportunity". Don't get me wrong, I believe they've waited way too long on some guys, but Cody is no where near that point and could use more build.

There's nothing wrong with waiting a while if it's built up well. I'd been saying that Dolph shouldn't get it until 2013 even, but I think he's stepped up to that next level. It can happen with Cody, but I don't have a problem with waiting on it and would prefer it at this point.

Plus waiting on it spreads out the ascent of stars, which at this point is fine. It'd be a different story if this were two years ago, but WWE has enough fresh blood in the main event that they don't have to rush a lot of pushes right now.

How about FakeLaser?

RiX1024 12-24-2011 11:41 AM

I can see Dolph be champion again next year, not quite sure about Cody.
