Jim Ross has written a new blog entry on his official website, discussing Sunday night’s Backlash PPV.

As we noted during our live coverage, the crowd reactions were up and down all night. Ross wrote on the subject: “The Providence live audience was unique at times w/ their reactions but my philosophy has always been if folks spend their hard earned cash and as long as they aren’t profane in front of children or ladies that they should cheer or boo who they choose. Being quiet, however, is the kiss of death at any event.”

The Hall of Famer also commented on last night’s three-man announce team (no mention of Ross’ awesome line to Michael Cole during the Santino/Khali segment about being fed lines from the back) and the plan going forward.

“I enjoyed working with Cole & King at the announce table,” he wrote. “We did not get this confirmed until Sunday afternoon but I hope we were able to do a good job for those of you that watched WWE’s 2nd PPV in the month of April. I’m still working to define my new broadcast role which is a major adjustment in timing not to mention working a 3 man booth can be challenging. All three announce teams will be in action going forward @ WWE PPV’s in accordance w/ the brand seperation. That gets deserving, young announcers like Matt Striker, Todd Grisham, and Josh Mathews in the game.”

Ross also noted that former ECW and WWE star Justin Credible was backstage in Providence, as was former WWE referee Tim White. You can read his blog update in full by clicking here.
