JR Gives Talent Evaluations From WWE NXT TV Tapings
Jim Ross, who knows a thing or two about talent, posted a new blog on his official website with thoughts on this week’s WWE NXT television tapings. Below is an excerpt:
Bray Wyatt Family had a stellar night. Good presentation.
Sasha Banks beginning to impress.
Jake Cater back from injury.
Good taping for Cory Graves.
Adrian Neville formerly know as PAC had a superb nite. An amazing, flying Dynamite Kid.
Mason Ryan returned to the ring & looked massive & imposing.
England’s Paige is improving & is a keeper in my view. The anti Diva.
Alex Riley looked good as did Bo Dallas & Michael McGillicutty.
Really enjoyed Kassius Ohno & Leo Kruger together.
Xavier Woods has ‘something.’
Willam Regal & Tony “Don’t call me Richard” Dawson handled all the commentary. Michael Cole & yours truly helped the announcers that were there. Enjoyed it. Shawn Michaels held court for hours w/ the young talents. Awesome. Great seeing Kevin Nash & Sean Waltman. Dusty Rhodes and I talked Johnny Football. An overall great experience at Full Sail & one I’d encourage fans to try at least once.

JR Comments on Future Stars In NXT, More
NXT was the best night of TV that we’ve produced in Orlando to date. NXT Champ Seth Rollins got a great ‘rub’ from WWE Champion CM Punk. The impromptu tag bout that occurred after the official taping ended between Punk/Rollins vs. Cesaro/Ohno was simply outstanding. We called it just for the Hell of it just in case it ever airs on a DVD, etc. It was really fun.
Big E Langston continued to take giant strides and is a star in the making if he continues to steer the course and gets a break once he debuts on one of the WWE rosters which I feel will happen some day soon. Just a gut feeling.
Michael McGillicutty can be a star and he is beginning to really bring it. The duo of Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel impressed me as does the team of Ascension every time I see them.
Paige is the top young diva in NXT for my money and the young lady from England has a bright future.
I’m really enjoying the new TV persona of the talented South African Leo Kruger.
