Bully Ray recently interviewed WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross about his work in All Elite Wrestling, and among the topics was how he feels about Brian Cage having Taz as his manager and whether he believes that dynamic is helping the formidable wrestler get over with fans.
Ross didn't shy away from sharing how he feels about the situation and explained that he thinks Taz should start taking a backseat and allowing Cage to get his personality over to fans at home.
"We had some camera work that we need to be more aware of. Taz does not need to be standing in front of Brian Cage," Ross explained. "I’m not knocking Taz. He may take it that way, but so be it. Nonetheless, we have to have better positioning in that regard. Taz has cut some damn good promos. I really enjoyed those quite frankly. When Brian got the FTW belt, he didn’t register it one bit. He was nonplussed. So, if it didn’t mean sh*t to him, then why should it mean sh*t to me, or you, or the fans?"
"There have been a lot of good things in this build. I like Taz’s heel work," he continued. "His promo work is as good as anybody we have right now, quite frankly. But, Cage has got to show more personality…He is a hell of an athlete and sometimes he works as a babyface with all the flying stuff and that may need to be addressed. It’s a learning process."
Ross makes a lot of good points here, and it definitely feels like Cage needs to be more than a physical threat. Saying that, Taz has been doing a great job getting him over, and the way Cage's match with Jon Moxley ended at Fight for the Fallen certainly left their relationship in a place it should be interesting to follow over the coming weeks.
