WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights.

-Ross on his health: "We got some medical tests back this morning which eliminated me having MS which was a relief. We had been waiting on that news for over a week. We have more tests scheduled next week as the process is essentially trying to eliminate issues that I might have but likely don't. The waiting process gets a little stressful and my wife is a Saint for putting up with my orneriness as patience isn't a virtue for yours truly."

Powell's POV: Great news on the test results. It's good to see J.R. is taking this seriously rather than just shaking it off and ignoring the problem. I've known too many people who made that mistake.

-Ross on whether WWE has moved on without him: "One concerned emailer to this site responded to my last blog with the fact that WWE has 'moved on without me.' The way I see it, WWE had to move on without me, for now, as they have shows to do and I am unable to carry my share of the water. If the new broadcast teams click and I am not needed on a weekly basis then, poor me, I will find other projects on which to work. Yeah, getting off the road 51 weeks a year would be a real heart breaker. I'm partially joking here but until I get healthy WWE has to move forward without me and get their work done. I am pulling for Todd Grisham and Matt Striker to light it up on Friday night's."

Powell's POV: It's good to see WWE giving a new announcer a shot while Ross is taking some time away. There's no guarantee any of the announcers will be around long term, so why not use this opportunity to give the young guy some experience.

-Ross on Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman: "Did you know that Paul Heyman 'consults' Brock Lesnar on selected projects? Strategic move by Brock who doesn't like to deal with matters of this sort. I hope the UFC Champion gets well soon and enjoys the holidays while preparing for his next fight tentatively scheduled for January 2010. If I'm still on IR, or whatever, I might try and make that one in Vegas."

Powell's POV: I wonder what those projects are. Maybe Heyman will share the details in his next Heyman Hustle. Probably confidential info, though.

Other topics include WTF is wrong with some Green Bay Packers fans (beyond the usual inbreeding), Lance Cade re-signs with WWE, J.R.'s reaction to roasters mocking him.
