In a recent episode of his podcast “Grilling JR,” WWE Hall of Fame Inductee, Jim Ross, shared his thoughts on several ongoing stories in the wrestling world. These included The Wyatt Sicks’ current storyline, the attack on Paul Heyman by The Bloodline, and more. Below are some key points from his podcast.
Speaking about The Wyatt Sicks, Ross admitted, “Yeah, I watch a little bit when I can. I’m a wrestling enthusiast, so sure, I watch it. I enjoy spending time viewing it. I believe the storyline of The Wyatt Sicks hasn’t captivated me yet. It isn’t that I’m against it, I simply don’t comprehend its objectives. I require more details, more context. Once I receive that, I’m confident I’ll get involved.”
Discussing Cody Rhodes, Ross revealed, “I think Cody still holds the reins there. Interestingly, he keeps in touch with me regularly. The conversation is mainly about my health status, not about wrestling moves. His support for me has been truly incredible. He genuinely cares about my wellbeing, which I deeply appreciate. I am proud of him. He’s managed well, stepping into a leadership role there. He’s smart, reliable, and capable of delivering an excellent match against pretty much anyone. I don’t know of anyone that he couldn’t work well with.”
Speaking about Paul Heyman’s tumultuous encounter with The Bloodline, he stated, “His performance was breathtaking. His talent is exceptional. I’m worried about his physical condition, his weight. I want him to maintain his health and productivity. His dramatic fall through the table was exceptionally well-done. Despite his age, he executed it successfully. His preparation for the event was impeccable – from his unkempt appearance to his bloodshot eyes indicating sleeplessness, anxiety, and worry.
“I can’t recall ever seeing a performance from someone in his position as impactful as we saw that night at the Garden. The Garden, I know, holds a special place in Paul’s heart… He was one of my guys. He was considered challenging to work with by the WCW booking committee due to his high demands. But in my opinion, he generally had superior ideas than most of the committee. This led to some friction, which ultimately led to him becoming an announcer. The committee didn’t want to deal with him, so I did. I saw potential in him and decided to partner up. The result, as they say, is history. He indeed is a phenomenon.”
