WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety over at JRsBarBQ.com. In this installment, JR shed some more light on the news that he could be doing the English commentary for New Japan Pro Wrestling’s weekly show on AXS TV.
On Friday morning, MLW radio ran an exclusive report “confirming” that Jim Ross will be doing commentary for NJPW on AXS TV along with Josh Barnett and that JR was excited to get back to broadcasting pro wrestling. JR quickly responded to that report on Twitter, noting that NO deal has been finalized and the news was simply “not accurate.”
In his latest blog, JR further clarified where things stand between himself and AXS:
“The bottom line is my camp and AXSTV have had talks over the last couple of months and there is a mutual interest to do business together but we have yet to finalize our agreement. As of Saturday morning, I was told that the “lawyers are reviewing the revised points on the contract.” If we can all get on the same page, of which I am optimistic that we can, then we can get every thing signed and move forward to another exciting chapter of my broadcasting career. To be able to get back in the game is something that excites me and to be able to call such a fundamentally sound, athletic presentation like NJPW motivates me.”
JR also mentioned that Lex Luger will be his guest next week on the Ross Report podcast over at PodcastOne.com.
