WWE Hall of Fame inductee and one of the most admired personalities in the business, Jim 'JR' Ross is known to have strong opinons about the different aspects of the company and recently he touched upon some of the burning topics in a recent blog post. The Roman Reigns affair has without doubt been one of the most talked about issues in the industry at the moment and has led to wild rumours from some section of the wrestling press. However, JR brushed them all aside and stated, "Lots of 'Oliver Stone' conspiracy theorists who are hellbent on becoming amateur sleuths as it relates to uncovering the details of Roman Reigns 30 day suspension for violating the WWE Wellness Policy. If the old adage of 'Telephone, Telegraph, Tell a Wrestler' still holds true then details that some are 'Jonesing' for will be revealed in due time even if there is no story to be told."
On the upcoming brand split, Jim Ross said,"Lots of speculation as to the WWE brand split that will be coming up soon. Seems as if many hardcore fans "need" info on what's going to go down as it relates to who will comprise the rosters. I'm more than happy to watch the first live, Smackdown and watch this matter play out. As I've said on our Podcast, I think it will be until WM33 until a true sense of what has transpired can be intelligently judged as to whether this major development by WWE is a success or not. I do think the WWE brand split can be one of the most significant business maneuvers that WWE has done in years."
He also had nice things to say about his long time colleague Jerry Lawler, who is set to return to the WWE following his trouble with the law. "Happy that Jerry Lawler has been reinstated by WWE and I look forward to seeing Jerry back on WWE TV at some point in the future. I knew all along in my heart that The King was not a domestic violence participant and that alcohol was the culprit in this unfortunate and embarrassing matter."
