WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has just about seen and done it all in the pro wrestling business, and he is now offering his advice and critiques on his Ross Report podcast. During a recent edition of his show, Ross discussed Impact Wrestling and the promotion’s growth, but he took the time to note that the network Impact is on is one of their biggest obstacles right now. Impact joined Pop TV after leaving Spike and Destination America and has been broadcasting shows weekly on the network ever since then. Ross said that the promotion’s increase in quality and decrease in ratings can be attributed to being on the station. Ross says that Pop TV is too small for Impact and should consider moving in the future. “They gotta have a nucleus and somebody’s gotta get hot. It’s that simple. They’ve gotta get on a vehicle at some point in time that’s gonna give them a chance to survive and become very profitable.” Ross said.
Jim Ross also brought up former WWE Superstars Enzo Amore and Big Cass and talked about how successful they could be together if they were to join Impact in the near future. Ross said that he still believes that there is a ton of potential in Big Cass to emerge as a star in the business, but he also said that he could benefit by having Enzo by his side once again to serve as his mouthpiece. Ross wondered if Impact had their sights set on hiring Big Cass and Enzo Amore soon given that Cass is set to return to the independent wrestling circuit soon as Big Cazz. Enzo Amore has largely left wrestling behind him in order to focus on a rap career, but he has continued to make occasional appearances on the indies as well.
Scott Hall is one of the most respected and beloved legends in wrestling, so it was interesting to see that he recently appeared in the WWE Performance Center to give some advice and guidance to the young rookies in WWE. Given that the WWE Hall of Famer had a thriving career for himself for years in wrestling, it certainly cannot hurt to have his endorsement, and he just recently tweeted out his support for NXT Superstar Lacey Evans. Evans has only been competing on NXT regularly for a little over a year or so but there are already plenty of fans and backstage officials who believe that she has a big future in the company. Expect Lacey Evans to continue to grow has her young WWE career carries on.
I predict @LaceyEvansWWE will be huge WWE Superstar
