WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry over at his official website where he gives his thoughts on various topics. Here are the highlights:
Ric Flair being hospitalized:
“The word that my long time friend and the greatest pro wrestler to ever live, Ric Flair, is in the hospital in intensive care has many of us concerned. As I write this, no official info has been released on the nature of Ric’s condition but heart issues are reportedly in the mix. Our thoughts are with Natich and his entire family on a speedy and full recovery. Ric and I were sitting next to each other on a USAirways flight in the late 80’s when we both met my late, wife Jan. Ric likes to tell the story of how he “introduced Jan and me” of which I encourage because it makes him smile.”
This Sunday’s WWE SummerSlam PPV:
“Regarding Summer Slam, of which I have high expectations, I am anxious to see how Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura mesh bell to bell as this one could be a sleeper. Both men have much to prove, IMO, on this stage and in this specific match. Also, I am not of the mindset that it is automatic that Brock Lesnar will lose the Universal Title Sunday. I could see, however, this huge main event setting up Lesnar vs Strowman down the road on another big stage. I will be dropping by the Barclay Center Saturday night to watch the NXT Takeover which has quite the lineup itself. The Takeover events seemingly never disappoint. Great weekend of TV on the @WWENetwork.”
