• Jim Ross Says Ronda Rousey’s Debut Is The Most Impressive Debut He Has Ever Seen
During a recent interview on MMAJunkie Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross gave his views on Ronda Rousey’s in-ring debut in WWE at WrestleMania 34.
Below is what JR said:
“I thought that Ronda’s debut was the most impactful pro wrestling debut that I have seen in my 40-plus year career. If you look at her skill set, experience-wise, from this genre in pro wrestling, it was almost non-existent. But she had so much pressure on her. The hype was amazing. The expectations were mixed. Some die-hard wrestling fans don’t even like her being there, which is absolutely insane. They are [sic] and goofy, no doubt about that. So, I was absolutely blown away by what she did and how she executed. She looked like an athlete; we knew she is an athlete. She’s a winner.
Now look, some say, well, she lost her last two fights. Kiss my a$$. How’s that? C’mon. She won a lot of fights, guys. You know what I mean? She’s a winner. She goes to the Olympics and wins medals. She’s a winner. So I knew that she was not going to drop the ball.
It’s WrestleMania, guys. If you’re an MMA fan, then you say, ‘Well, what does it matter? It’s still pro wrestling.’ There was almost 80,000 people there. She had so much pressure at this massive event, it would’ve been very easy for her to slip the bit and not have a great outing. If she continues to train as diligently and as ferociously as she has been, the sky’s the limit for her. She can be really, really good.”
