Update on Jim Ross

As reported here earlier, Smackdown announcer Jim Ross didnt appear on the Smackdown tapings on Tuesday night due to a Bells Palsy attack. He recently blogged about his current status. In the blog, he said that he will not work the Bragging Rights PPV, and that it'll be likely that a 3 man booth of Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and Todd Grisham will call the event. He went on to talk about his visit with a neurologist, saying that he was diagnosed with "full blown" Bells palsy. He is currently wearing a patch over his right eye.

The full blog entry can be viewed at the source.

   GWS JR!!! Next time, they should have Matt Striker do everything on his own! He's obviously the best out of all of them, except JR of course ;)
