Jim Ross Says His Wife Would Have Wanted Him To Attend WrestleMania 33 Week

– Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry, here are the highlights…

On His Decision to Attend WrestleMania 33 Week Events: For those who may be wondering why I’ve decided to go to Orlando and participate in Wrestlemania week it is simply because I truly think that is what Jan would have wanted. I will be able to be around friends and fans in a positive environment of which I feel that I need. The alternative was to stay home and continue to be reminded of what I’ve lost, if that makes sense. Being around my old friends and the many fans that I hope to interact with in Orlando is a blessing that I need to experience. Jan loved Wrestlemania week I think as much as Christmas because she shopped, she loved Louis Vuitton, would get dressed up and could be entertained for hours simply conversing with the many people and friends that we connected with during our 21 year run together in WWE. That’s not including all our WCW friends we knew in Atlanta who will also be in Orlando for a variety of reasons.

On the Importance of Jan: Our talent relations department had an unprecedented run in WWE as evidenced by the stars that our team was able to sign, train and develop. Many of these talents are still major, WWE contributors today. Jan was a huge part of that team as her hosting ‘in home visits’ from a variety of talents over the years and feeding them home cooked meals, listening to them and being their friend, and their spouse’s friend with no agenda was a huge asset for our WWE team. Jan’s organs have saved four lives thus far which is a bountiful blessing for our family and I know that Jan would have been proud that she could help so many folks get a new lease on their lives. If you aren’t an organ donor, please consider such as it is something that Jan and I believed in and I am also a organ donor thanks to my wife’s passion regarding the matter. For those who have lost a loved one unexpectedly, you know of what I am experiencing as not an hour goes by that I don’t get taken back to reality that my best friend and soul mate is gone forever.
