— In WWE announcer Jim Ross’ latest blog, the wrestling veteran puts Jeff Hardy over as the hottest wrestler in the company.
“If you are wondering who the hottest WWE Superstar presently is in WWE, it’s Jeff Hardy. As my late, domino playing friend, Ernie Ladd would say, case closed,” wrote Ross.
While many will undoubtedly connect Ross’ comments to reports that WWE is working hard to keep Hardy beyond his expected exit date of WWE summerslam, his words do speak to the consensus within the company. Several months ago, a Wrestling Observer report confirmed that WWE internally views Hardy as the most popular wrestler.
— Ross was also complimentary of the Divas, putting over Layla’s improvement, Melina’s consistently solid performances and Gail Kim’s potential to be “Stratus-like.”
