Ross mentions that he watched RAW this past week, and Paul Heyman’s sit-down interview with Renee Young really stood out to him. He calls Heyman a genius, and also gives credit to Young for the role she played in that presentation. Ross hopes that someone else will come along at some point and take the mantle from Heyman as one of WWE’s top talkers, but he isn’t going to hold his breath on that happening.
He also gives a thumbs up to Alicia Fox, who took a hell of a beating on Monday night at the hands of Ronda Rousey. He’s sure that she was produced to do exactly what we saw, and she did so perfectly. Rousey continues to steal the spotlight on RAW and Ross is thrilled with how she’s taken to the wrestling business thus far.
A listener writes into the show and asks Ross when he thinks The Rock will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Ross points out that The Rock will obviously be inducted at some point, and he wonders if 2019 in New York City would make sense. He also notes that perhaps WrestleMania will be returning to Miami at some point in the future, and Rock could be inducted in his hometown.
Ross welcomes Nick Aldis to the show.
Ross admits that when his good friend, Billy Corgan, took over the NWA he didn’t have much hope for the brand. The NWA was a dead brand and he didn’t think anyone would be able to make it truly relevant again. Now within a few months the NWA Champion, Aldis, is main-eventing ALL IN. Ross is thrilled for the success of Aldis and the promotion as a whole.
