WWE Hall of Famer has posted a blog update at JRsBarBQ.com denying reports that he has signed on to do commentary for the January 4th New Japan Pro Wrestling / Global Force Wrestling pay-per-view from Tokyo. JR wrote:
“Let me make this perfectly clear. I have no deal. I have not personally spoken to Jeff Jarrett since he left WWE with me holding the bag on a blotched contract matter that I should have handled batter. Lesson learned for me. Jeff and I agreed to have him on the Ross Report Podcast that will drop on December 16 via text messages.”
“So, here’s the bottom line, if we do work out something and it’s going to take a helluva deal for me to miss my birthday, a weekend in Vegas with my wife and the UFC on January 3 to see @RondaRousey fight to travel to Tokyo to do pro wrestling with a new partner, a new crew and a new talent roster. IF we are able to make a deal, then the publicity seeking “source” can brag that he was right all along.”
JR continued to say that he’s not outright looking to return to pro but he’s also a businessman if the right offer came up, he’d consider it.
