JR, Jesse the psychologist here. There is a great site ran by WebMD that has the latest research and treatment options for it. It would be worth a look. It is: http://www.webmd.com/brain/tc/bells-palsy-topic-overview Newly discovered is that some Bells Palsy (especially the recurring type) may be caused by a virus and can be treated with antivirals. Your permanent facial tics can be treated with Botox. Again, just trying to help. This is a wealth of information, and you may just end up knowing more thatn your doctors, because more that 80% of WebMD users are dr's. Please make time to check it out. Have Jan read it to you if you are too tired, it WILL help you and there are great resources at the bottom too.
Thanks for the info. I do a fair amount of reading about Bells. There are seemingly so many theories on it from the medical world. I took a strong anti viral drug for several days after I first came down with Bells #3. Some say I should try acupuncture. I did in the early 90's for Bells # but it did not seem to work then. Nonetheless I really appreciate your feedback and your concern.
Hey J.R. hope you're feeling better, but enjoy the time off as much you can. I got a question for you, and forgive me if you have already answered this, but why has Chris Jericho (a.k.a Y2J) turned his back on the fans? I used to be a fan of his, now he thinks we're nothing more then parasites and Germ Incubators and Hypocrites, what's your opinion on the subject? Thanks, and get well David
Because Jericho knows his role and he is very, very good at it.

"U guys??" Who are "U guys?" I hate no one. I don't hate TNA whatsoever. If you believe that then you're wrong. Hate is a lousy word to throw around. Why would I "hate" TNA? That makes no sense to me.
Hey JR: Just writing again to wish you well and continue hoping for a steady if not speedy recovery and shoot a question your way: I was watching the Ric Flair DVD for the 1000th time (OK, maybe a 1000 is pushing it but quite a few nevertheless :)) and i've always been curious as to the reason for WWE not going ahead with Hogan VS Flair at WM 8, I know it's a moot point nowadays and and hardly a controversy, it's just that, like many, it was the dream match that I was dying to see since I became a wrestling fan, and would just like to know. Be well
Don't know...I did not get there until WM9 so I don't know what went on behind the scenes at that time. I will ask Hulk and Ric one day what was happening then but it likely was either political or about money.
Mr. Ross- This is not a question, as much as a comment. You are the greatest man to ever call a match, tell a story, commentate, whichever you prefer. I hope you stay strong through your illness. Proof of your skill is that I doubt that any other non-wrestler would gather the support and prayers that you are rightfully receiving. Get better, no for me, not for the WWE Universe, but for yourself and your family. We miss you, but please put JR first. Thank you, Dave Backert
Thanks, Dave. I'm facing just another bump in the road. I sincerely appreciate your's and everyone's support as it helps me... I guarantee!
J.R. Back in the territory days what was the criteria for a young guy to break into the business? And do you think those same criteria would work today. Also, what advice would you give a young man wanting to become a pro wrestler.
Tough guys, persistent guys and world class athletes were frequent visitors to local wrestling territory offices. Plus, many promoters were partial to college jocks. My advise for you wanting to be a wrestling is to honestly get a college degree, learn a skill and look at wrestling as a helluva long shot that likely won't materialize. I did not say to not try it but be realistically informed that you likely, most likely, won't make it.
I haven't really followed your Q&A as I just signed up today. But I have two questions: Curious as to why the manager has gone by the wayside in wrestling as well as the athletic "Fat man" don't like using that term but it's not so much the big man(Yoko,Mable,Earthquake,Typhoon)as well as the jobber. and In regards to the business who in your mind are the top 5 people who have brought something new to the business during their time. Can include Managers/Announcers/Wresters/Owners whatever you like. Hope your feeling better and business is doing well.
I don't do top five lists very often especially with a question as broad based as the one you posed. Managers are largely thought of as too old school plus the managerial talent pool is shallow to put it mildly. Promoters often times look for bodies of a certain "look" instead of simply looking for athletic people with talent no matter their body type.
Hello Mr. Ross: Hope you are enjoying your slightly less hectic schedule and wish you a speedy recovery. My question is concerning Ken Mantell who was a heck of a wrestler and one time NWA Jr. Heavyweight Champ. He also had quite a feud with Paul Orndorff in the Mid South days. Do you ever hear from him or know what he is up to these days? Had the pleasure of speaking with him once, and he was a very nice guy. Probably a long shot for the HOF, but consider he was in the UWF when it was purchased by Crockett's NWA which was purchased by Turner's WCW, which was bought by WWE, so what the heck, he might qualify. Thank you for your time. JL, Minden, La.
I have lost touch with Ken but I think that he still lives in north Texas. Ken was an underrated competitor and had a viable creative mind. As far as him going into the WWE HOF, I really don't know but I would say his chances were marginal.
Hey JR, hope this finds you on the way to recovery..I love Barbecue'd pork tenderloin, however the best recipe that i found for this is still missing the "q" taste that i like...and i was wondering what im doing wrong and what products that you have on this site would help me out..here is the recipe that i used. 1 pkg. pork tenderloin (2 to pkg.) 1 med. onion, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped Garlic, chopped 2 tbsp. oil 2 tbsp. Lea & Perrin sauce Salt & pepper to taste 1 c. water Barbecue sauce Any suggestions to make a stronger "q" taste?? thanks for any info.
Simply use a good BBQ rub like ours and slow smoke it just like you would a brisket. Low and slow are the keys.
