– Jim Ross has a new blog entry up, here are the highlights…
On Matt Hardy: “Emailers…those looking for ‘dirt’ on Matt Hardy need to look elsewhere because this is a dirt free zone when it comes to Matt because I do not know his status or his future plans. I can draw the same conclusions that most can via what I read or see but I also can honestly say I do not know all the details nor do I want to. This is not my hill to die on any longer but at the end of the day my most important thought is that Matt’s healthy and happy. Life isn’t 100% about our jobs, especially the wrestling biz, but it can absolutely engulf one if one allows it to. We all need balance in our lives and this is from a guy who is speaking from experience.”
On The Chris Jericho DVD: “Watched an advance copy of the Chris Jericho DVD and I REALLY liked it. I hope that you check it out when it’s released in a little over a week. It’s got some awesome, rare footage on it and isn’t a match compilation that’s just thrown together. The near 20 year vet is one of the WWE’s very best, arguably the MVP of the talent roster as he is seemingly unbreakable, and will no doubt be a future WWE Hall of Famer. I still remember Jerry Brisco and me putting the full court press on Chris to sign with WWE in a meeting at the Bombay Bicycle Club in the Tampa area years ago.”
On Billy Robinson: “The legendary tough guy Billy Robinson, one of Wigan’s toughest ‘hookers’ and submission specialists is celebrating a birthday this weekend…#71 as I hear it. I met Billy for the first time in Charlotte at the NWA Fanfest this year and enjoyed visiting with him, Dan Hodge and Jerry Brisco….all three noted shooters. One night in Australia, Billy and the late, great Jack Brisco had a legit wrestling match that lasted, off and on, all night. Great story. No winner….but both guys were so beat up that they damn near debilitated each other and both missed their flights to the next city in which they were scheduled to compete. Promoter Jim Barnett was not a happy Gucci shoe wearing man.”
