More from Jim Ross: WWE creative has to ‘hit it out of the park’ with Daniel Bryan

Chris Graham

jim rossOn Saturday, Jim Ross was chastising fans and writers who were raising issue with the curious move by WWE creative to turn daniel bryan heel and put him up as a member of the Wyatt Family.

Now JR seems to be coming around to the critics.

“I’ve never seen a talent over the last few years get ‘over’ to the level of Bryan and then be booked so curiously,” Ross wrote on his blog today.

Ross is clearly a big Bryan fan, calling his in-ring work “virtually untouchable” and suggesting that creative might not realize what a gem it has in him.

“Talents who get over organically are few and far between these days, and they can never be taken for granted or not recognized. The ‘buzz’ doesn’t last forever. Wrestlers who connect with the fans is a wrestling booker’s dream. Creative types who do not listen to their paying customers, i.e. fans, just aren’t that bright when all is said and done,” Ross said.
