WWE Hall of Famer and Fox Sports talent Jim Ross recently published a blog on his website, JRsBarBq.com. Ross talked about a number of topics, some related to wrestling and others not. Two of the biggest wrestling topics that “Good Ol’ JR” discussed were rumors that Daniel Bryan may be slated for more surgery and Sting’s cryptic tweets, which tease something on Monday, July 14.
Ross gave his take on what the rumors may mean for Bryan, and noted that WWE should be careful in its handling of Roman Reigns, if Bryan is out for the coming months:
“Not sure what to believe or not to believe regarding the physical status of Daniel Bryan but most of what I’m reading isn’t positive. Often times a surgery will reveal other issues and it seems that may have been the case here. The bottom line to this entire matter is to get Bryan healthy and, above all else, not to rush him back into the ring. I feel confident that WWE would never allow this to occur but certainly in the territory days of years gone by promoters would want the talents to get back in the ring ASAP. Plus, the talents themselves would push the envelope because most of them did not have guaranteed contracts and if they did not work they did not get paid notwithstanding they paid their own medical bills. Times have changed much for the better in those areas.
With Bryan out TFN, it’s also imperative that WWE be cautious in how they market, promote and build Roman Reigns. Overexposure can result in a backlash neither of which the WWE or Reigns needs at this point in his development. Does Roman Reigns or any other WWE talent need to be on virtually every TV show that is produced such as RAW and Smackdown? Absolutely, not.”
“JR” also hit briefly on Sting’s cryptic tweets. He wouldn’t “spill the beans,” but did note that fans should tune in to “Monday Night Raw” on July 14.
“Lots of @Sting speculation as to what 7-14-14 means but to spill the beans, if I knew, would be to spoil a cool surprise. Needless to say, I’d suggest, without leading anyone astray, that watching RAW Monday night would be judicious.”
Be sure to read Jim Ross’ full post, here. Ross even goes on to talk about Lebron James possibly going to the Cleveland Cavaliers, in addition to lackluster count out and disqualification finishes in WWE.
Editor’s Note
As always, good stuff from Jim Ross. His brief words on Sting are interesting. Jim Ross did retweet both Sting and Honky Tonk Man’s tweets, teasing July 14. Perhaps Ross is in the know, but he did state, “if I knew.”
