5. Jim Ross Gives His Views on Which Match Should Open & Close WrestleMania 32
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross published a new blog entry on his website, where he discussed which match should open and close WrestleMania 32, big names on the show and more. Below are the highlights:
On Which Match Should Start WrestleMania 32:
“My suggestion would be to start the wrestling aspect of the main broadcast of WMTexas with the IC Title Ladder match and if the seven men in that match are fortunate that’s what will happen. Go steal the show while the audience is hot and eagerly anticipating the thrill show presentation.”
On Big Stars Appearing At The Event:
“Seems like no brainer booking to feature Steve Austin, The Rock and John Cena in the ring together at ‘Mania in an entertaining piece of business. The fans would love it and creative type should never avoid an automatic “pop.” This might be a helluva way to kickoff the main show. Much like WM30 in NOLA.”
On Which Match Should Close WrestleMania 32:
“I see the WWE Title bout closing WMTexas and nothing else. I’d place the HIAC bout in the middle to latter part of the show follow it with one or two matches and then close with the WWE Title bout.
To not close with the WWE Title lessens the championship in my opinion and that should never be allowed to happen.”
