An "Old Friend" pays a visit...

Posted in:
It was an interesting plane ride from OKC to Columbia, South Carolina Monday night. On my flight from OKC to Atlanta I had my 3rd Bells palsy attack.
I was able to reach WWE doctors who were in Jacksonville for Raw and they were able to call in the medicines I needed to get started on to slow down the paralysis. Now we just wait and see how the meds work and Mother Nature takes her course.
My plans are to tape SD tonite working with the King and perhaps even Michael Cole so we can make sure we can do the job that the product and the talents deserve.
It's a big week for WWE as we all prepare for Bragging Rights this Sunday in Pittsburgh. I hope to be able to contribute and time will tell as the week progresses but I intend to remain optimistic and to fight thru this issue.
This isn't my first challenge I've had to deal with and there are lots of folks that have much worse issues than do I that they contend with on a daily basis. My intention is to fight thru this and continue doing what I love.
The wrestling business and those that work in it have become such a huge part of my life and the way I see it this is just another bump in the road as I am far from "tapping out."
With all the fans that have always supported me thru 35 years, I know I won't be going thru this alone. Thanks.

Doing what you love is great medicine, JR, as is being around people that you care about - I'll bet that doing SD will help your fighting spirt - and that's important.
Take care. I'll be looking forward to seeing SD on Friday night and hearing your excellent commentary helping to bring the matches home.
Really sorry to hear the rough news. I will keep you in my thoughts and wish you the best in overcoming this setback. You've done it before, I have no doubt you can do it again. All the best and God bless, JR.
Your health is more imporant JR. Get healthy fast. U are my favorite play by play guy ever. Get WEll Jr and u are in my prayers. WWE needs a slobber knocker and whipped by a goverment mul e in future WWE pay per views and show.
Do a Boomer Sommer stampede on Pels Palsy
I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers. God's speed J.R.
My best wishes for you! Just read the wikipedia article on Bell's Palsy, hope you are getting the best possible treatment. My thoughts are with you.
You can't keep a a GREAT man down! Take care of your health first and don't stress it. Both you and Jerry are one of a kind and can't be duplicated! Keep your head up my friend!
I live everyday with Bells and Cerebral Palsy and it can be annoying at times, but watching you all these years I know you'll be back to as close as normal soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Best wishes! I hope everything works out. You are the GREATEST....
Best wishes, JR - truly hope you are able to come back as well as ever.
My thoughts and prayers are with you JR for a speedy recovery. I admire your determination and fortitude. Do what you need to do to be well though. As much as we'd LOVE to hear you and the King at the Table for SD, make sure it's not going to slow down your eventual recovery.

I am sorry to hear this JR. I am pulling for you to make a quick recovery from this one. You are a tough cookie and if anyone can bounce back it is you.
JR, I can't believe it! You have overcome the beast before, and you will again. My prayers are with you!
I am praying for you JR, and have asked others to do the same. God's best to you and your family. I know you'll put your health and your family well-being before work, and that's the right thing to do.

Everybody's gonna be at the same level in the end...but not after that.
Real Sad news, Get well Soon
Get well soon Jr.
PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT ALL MY PRAYERS AND GOOD THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS TIME
DALE A.
Sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery from the UK JR.
I read your blog every week and as an Ex thirty year veteran who worked with Regal, & Finley when they first started you have been my main link with the business for many years.
I honestly believe that you have done more to forward professional wrestling world wide than a million moonsaults, powerslams or silly gimicks, and its a shame its taken this to get me to register on your site
No one tells it like you do JR so as a very wise Okie once said "count your blessings" and remember all around the world there will be so many people in your corner.
Cheers From Neil
I'm sorry to hear of what has happened but I know that you will get through this as you have in the past, I will be praying for you and your family.
I'm so sorry to hear that you had another bells palsy attack. I hope you are doing okay. The fans love you and we will be praying for you. Take Care.
Stay strong JR. We love you and hope you get better soon!
