JBL On The Economy, Stacy Keibler Update, Lesnar’s Illness, New Jim Ross Blog

- JBL was on Fox over the weekend and said he’s getting out of the stock market. His wife Meredith Whitney is also not optimistic, claiming the recession is not over and may get worse.

[Gold anyone?]

- It seems former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler has become fodder for the low rent gossip columns. The latest buzz is that Keibler and her boyfriend Geoff Stults were (heaven forbid) partying in San Francisco. One columnist at People.com wrote, “the duo drank cocktails in the VIP area, surrounded by friends and distractions. At one point, Keibler got her hair and makeup touched up by someone from the Rogue Lifestyle Galleries.”

Keibler was recently snubbed by WWE after inquiring about doing a guest host spot.

- Brock Lesnar’s illness has been revealed as diverticulitis; a disease that forms small pouches in the large intestine and the colon. The illness is sometimes found among bodybuilders that eat high protein diets with little fiber.

- Jim Ross is back with another JRSBARBQ.com blog post. Here are the wrestling highlights:

On Lesnar:
“rock Lesnar’s health is one of the things that I am thinking a great deal about these days. As former OU and Dallas Cowboy coach Barry Switzer once told me, “You recruit a kid for life” and that’s how I feel about all the guys I signed for WWE including Austin, Rock, Orton, Batista, Cena, Lesnar etc. Management and the talents may not always see eye to eye, such as the case during Lesnar’s exit from WWE, but that has zero to do with how I feel about Brock personally.”

On Jesse Ventura:
“Jesse Ventura returns to Raw next Monday for the three hour broadcast which provides the former Governor of Minnesota and WWE Hall of Famer plenty of opportunities to plus his new TV show coming to cable soon. Jesse discussing historic conspiracy theories seem to be a nice fit. I wish him well on his new venture. I do know that Ventura and McMahon were a better broadcast team than JR and Ventura. Back in the XFL days Ventura’s security staff from Minnesota strongly suggested that I call The Body “Governor Ventura” in our production meetings. That never happened. I always considered Jesse and me to be associates and former wrestling, broadcast partners plus I never lived in Minnesota.”

- On His Health:
“Waiting on some blood work results today or tomorrow. I feel in my heart that they will be good results. Facial nerves, nonetheless, regenerate at their own pace and so here I sit. I’m better though and will not miss a beat when I sit back in an announcer’s chair when and on whatever program that may be.”

  1. I’m glad the mystery surrounding Lesnar’s illness is over so the speculation can end. Early inside reports were that Lesnar may never fight again and from what I’ve read of diverticulitis is it can be managed up to and including surgery – but not debilitating or life threatening. I don’t see how that keeps him out forever though. Still seems like something is missing.
