Jim Ross Says He May Have Broken A Rib After His Unplanned Bump At NJPW's G1 SPECIAL

During the IWGP United States Championship match at the G1 Special, Jay White tossed Juice Robinson into the barricade in front of the announce table, which caused Jim Ross to fall to the ground hard. This sent JR's co-commentator, former UFC Champion Josh Barnett, after "Switchblade" which in turn led to many questioning the legitimacy of the "angle."

However, Good Ol' JR has now taken to Twitter to set the record straight.



Even if this was indeed an accident, there's every chance NJPW will capitalize on it to get Barnett back in the ring against White at some stage.

At any rate, we hope JR is not in too much pain and wish him a speedy recovery.
