WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross posted an update on his health after he suffered a third bout with Bell's Palsy on Monday. "I saw my neurologist today in Norman and had a long consultation and some testing," Ross wrote. "He diagnosed me, as expected with full blown Bells palsy. It is on the right side of my face and has adversely affected my vision in my right eye more than previous bouts. We are concerned about the cornea in my right eye being damaged which is why I am using a ton of artificial tears and having to tape my eye shut at night to sleep along with using a gel in my eye under the eye patch...
"My time line on returning to work is unknown as I write this. I wish it was going to be this Sunday in Pittsburgh as I wanted to be a part of Bragging Rights on PPV. I think it will be a fun and a unique show that will be showcasing some new talents in key bouts...
"So, Sunday night I will be at home in Norman watching Bragging Rights on PPV. I don't know the announcer lineup but it 'might' be a three man team of (Michael) Cole, King (Jerry Lawler), and Todd Grisham but that's only an educated guess. It could be something else altogether but obviously Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler will be figured in the mix prominently.
"For those fans that think that this is the end for me or the end is near I suggest you rethink your position. I won't allow your views to adversely affect me because I still love to play the game. I am an old school guy who still loves calling wrestling matches and sitting at ringside soaking up the adrenaline from the fans." To read the full blog, visit JRsBarBQ.com.
Powell's POV: It's a shame that J.R. won't be able to appear on Sunday, but I'm happy that he's at home addressing the issue rather than working through the illness. He had much more to say about his situation and his message is uplifting, all things considered. It's definitely worth a read. While you're there, I encourage you to show your support by buying a bottle of his kick ass original BBQ sauce.
