WWE News Jim Ross provides an update on WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Brisco, shares a Michael Jackson story, previews WWE's "The Bash" pay-per-view Jun 27, 2009 - 11:32 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights. -Ross on fellow WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Brisco: "I spoke with my old friend Jerry Brisco on Friday and he was feeling better and looking forward to what he hopes will be his heart procedure next week in Tampa. As tests continue to be done and more info is provided Jerry, it has been discovered that he did not have any artery blockage whatsoever including his neck and that the sole source of his strokes was a result of a faulty heart valve along with a small hole in his heart both of which Jerry was born." Powell's POV: J.R. had much more to say about Brisco in his actual blog. -Ross on Michael Jackson: "Many years ago I turned down an opportunity to join my wife, along with several WWE corporate types, at a private function at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. I believe the occasion was a birthday party for a Jackson family member. My wife recalls the Jackson kids asking if 'J.R. was o.k.' as that apparently was around the time Kane BBQ'ed yours truly. Many within the Jackson household followed WWE on TV regularly as Jan remembers getting bombarded with questions and some of the Jacksons have attended WWE events over the years. Powell's POV: Fun story. Ross also reveals a disguise that Jan felt Michael was wearing to avoid distracting people from his family member's party. J.R. also told a story about a phone conversation he had with the late Farrah Fawcett. -Ross on WWE's "The Bash" pay-per-view: "Looks like the SD brand will have 4 bouts at 'The Bash' this Sunday on pay per view from Sacramento. Although I look for the 'Three Stages of Hell' match to close the show, at least that would be my suggestion, I do feel that Jeff Hardy challenging C.M. Punk for the World Title and the IC Title vs. Rey Mysterio's mask when Mr. 619 faces Chris Jericho will rival any bouts at the event. The PPV seems loaded with content and should move along at a fast clip." Powell's POV: It should be a fun show. I'm looking forward to the Hardy vs. Punk match and Jericho vs. Mysterio more than Hunter vs. Orton, but I'm sure Hunter and Randy will go above and beyond to deliver a strong match. Don't forget to check back on Sunday night for my live coverage report of the show.
