Jim Ross Blog: Thoughts on WWE Possibly Signing Matt Hardy, Ross’ Future with NJPW and AXSTV

September 22, 2016

A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com and below are some highlights.

As a reminder, Tickets for Jim Ross’ RINGSIDE with Jim Ross and Friends shows in Orlando during WrestleMania 33 weekend are currently on sale at TicketFly.com.

“Saw where WWE is allegedly hoping that Matt Hardy returns to WWE when his TNA contract ends. Don’t know the validity of this latest, rasslin rumor but to be able to get BOTH Hardy’s back in WWE would likely make many Hardy fans happy.

Matt has developed the freshest, most unique pro wrestling TV persona in the biz which is a tribute to a talent with an established persona recreating himself with a new persona. If more talents would think outside the box like this, more talents would have less to complain about regarding their elusive ‘push.’

AXSTV is going to continue to do another season of NJPW broadcasts in 2017 which is good news for yours truly as I’ve enjoyed working with AXSTV along side Josh Barnett on the Friday night broadcasts. I wish we could do more with NJPW including heading to Japan to broadcast some live events. Perhaps that will happen in the future but it’s far from a done deal at this point in time.”
