Former WWE wrestler JBL posted a blog today on his view of the Monday night battle between WWE Raw and TNA Impact on Monday night. The following are highlights from his blog on Facebook.

-- JBL was highly-critical of current TNA writer Vince Russo, who is one of the figures blamed for WCW's demise. Russo wasn't the only person or circumstance to blame, but JBL looked solely at Russo.

"Greatest trade in history was Vince Russo to WCW, it drove WCW into bankruptcy and WWE to buying their competitor and establishing world dominance. We, at the time, were starting to think that Vince McMahon was sending Russo to destroy the competition it was so bad," JBL said. "Now, years later you have the same characters going at it again. For fair competition I hope TNA got rid of their version of (flame-out NFL QB) Ryan Leaf or else it will be short war."

-- JBL looked at the current WWE and TNA rosters with emphasis on WWE needing to make new stars.

"WWE has better overall talent and a deeper roster. However, as much respect as I have for that top talent-they have been the top talent for some time except for a few exceptions-Sheamus. Somewhere down the line WWE fans will get tired of top talent wrestling each other over and over," JBL said. "In the past WWE has created new talent, their future still depends upon that because a lot of the top talent are older and won't be around in five years."

-- JBL said he's rooting for TNA with Eric Bischoff heading up the promotion with new motivation to compete against WWE.

"TNA has the underdog and new guy going its way, it also has Eric Bischoff who I greatly respect. I think Eric on his round two with Vince will be prepared. Along with Hulk who wants to badly compete with Vince as well," JBL said.
