Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2017 That's so awful for him. When JR came out with the news of the accident it sounded like he was expecting the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2017 https://youtu.be/8UhXlmuu5dQ Â Apparently Indian wrestler Shanky Singh is due for a WWE tryout. He appears to be a rather tall gentleman. That weird camera angle makes it all look very strange. I wonder whether they contemplated filming it through a fisheye lens for maximum freakishness.

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted March 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2017 If WWE did Stretch Armstrongs of Roman Reigns, hafway between full stretch and it going back to normal. You could easily pass that off as that Shanky Singh fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted March 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Apologies if posted elsewhere, but Jan Ross has passed away after her Vespa crash the other day (per Observer).  Know throughout the years Jim Ross has talked at great length about her being a rock when he was facing Bells Palsy and other ailments. Horrible situation. Edited March 23, 2017 by Gus Mears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneApollo Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Very unusual that JR has been tweeting and blogging about his sick, and now dead, wife. Also been tweeting and re tweeting about his podcast since he announced her death. To each his own, I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 He's clearly grieving mate, I wouldn't judge him for blogging or tweeting if it's helping him cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 He'll be aware that people were wanting to know updates & such, and social media would have been the easiest way to do so. Whatever helps the guy grieve I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneApollo Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Sure, it is probably just his way of grieving. Just don't think he should be re tweeting a plug for his podcast a number of hours after his wife died. A bit disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Wiseau Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 they'll surely be scheduled tweets will they not? although the retweets wouldn't be I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneApollo Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 His tweets maybe, but not the re tweets. That is what comes from workibg in the twisted wrestling business for 40 years. The show must go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted March 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Frankly, I think Jim Ross is, within reason, allowed to whatever the fuck he likes at the minute. His wife, who he was evidently incredibly close to as evidenced by myriad statements, has just died after an appalling,unexpected accident. Who is he disrespecting exactly? The family? Because that's him.  As Harry says, they are mostly scheduled Tweets and if not, it's almost certainly a coping mechanism. When my Grandad died years ago, my Uncle spent a bunch of the day putting his old car online, not because he's an insensitive knob, but because he literally wanted anything to take his mind of what had happened.  There is a lot of debasement in the wrestling industry. Jim Ross Retweeting some stuff about his job when his brain will feel like it's had a piano dropped on it doesn't even make the scale. Edited March 23, 2017 by Gus Mears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneApollo Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) It's disrespectful to her. It's just cause he is JR people don't want to say anything. If my next door neighbour announced his wife's death via twitter with the praying emoji, then started promoting his podcast, I'd be thinking "What the fuck?" Yes, I know you will say "But JR is famous, and wanted to let all of his fans know". Sorry, I just think there is a lot to be said for quiet, dignified grieving.
