JR Gives An Update On Gerald Brisco, FCW Workers, Talks About The Bash, Grisham On FSN
Written by Richard Gray on Jun 22, 2009 - 4:52:30 PM
Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his official website. Below are the highlights:
- Exchanged a few text messages over the weekend with Jerry Brisco who is in a positive state of mind after suffering three strokes and discovering that he has a hole in his heart and a faulty heart valve. Jerry's wife Barbara had to confiscate his cell phone as many of Jerry's friends were reaching out to him. The WWE Hall of Famer is respected by all that know him not to mention the fact that Jerry has helped so many men get their start in the business. Jerry told me that he will know more on Monday when he will have heart surgery as it was expected to be this week but that is not definite.
- Speaking of Jerry Brisco, his son Wes recently had his first TV bout on Florida Championship Wrestling that I saw for the first time this weekend on a DVD. Wes certainly looks like his Dad, has a terrific amateur background and is a heck of an athlete. Wes' uncle Jack Brisco was about as good as one could imagine during his heyday so the young Brisco has plenty of excellent role models as he begins his wrestling odyssey.
- FCW has some particularly good talkers on their show or at least that was my first impression of some that I heard. FCW's "look" of their TV show is really slick which was impressive.
- Young Bret DiBiase was also featured on the FCW show that I saw and he seemed to connect well with the audience. One can also see Bret's potential inside the ring. It's all about how much these kids can continue to get better and how willing they are to diligently work full time to improve all their skill sets that will determine if they become productive members of the WWE team, or not.
- One can assume that the Smackdown contribution Monday night on the first ever commercial free Monday Night Raw will consist of probably one bout. However, that one match could be a dandy. There should be no issues with matches having an adequate amount of time to take care of their business on Monday night with no commercial breaks.
- I expect ECW to also have one bout on the show obviously, in some fashion, promoting the ECW Title Bout at "The Bash" which is all of the sudden here.... as in next Sunday in Sacramento.
- HHH vs. Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match for the WWE Title is a stout attraction for Monday's Raw and these two won't have any time restraints to deal with in this main event. It will likely be "vintage." Oh, my!
- Yours truly watched Todd Grisham do his Fox Sports gig on Saturday night hosting the MLS pre game show, etc. Todd played college soccer and did a really smooth job at the sports desk for Fox on Saturday night. Honestly, Todd is more proficient than many SportsCenter anchors on ESPN who, at times, force too much of themselves into their broadcasts.
