In case you missed it, there was a moment during Juice Robinson’s IWGP United States Title victory at G1 Special in San Francisco this past Saturday (July 7) which is overshadowing Juice’s big moment.

A spot where Robinson’s opponent Jay White suplexed him into the ringside barricade sent the unsecured gate into the announce table where AXS TV commentators Jim Ross and Josh Barnett were sitting. While the WWE Hall of Famer composed himself after getting knocked to the floor, Barnett chases White into and around the ring, arguing with the referee before being calmed down and returning to the desk.

Here it is:

As discussed in today’s Rumor Roundup, the 66 year old Ross tweeted “For the record, the ‘bump’ I took at ringside at #G1SanFrancisco was not storyline driven matter nor was it discussed.” MMA and pro wrestling veteran Barnett was more succinct:

Not a work — Josh Barnett (@JoshLBarnett) July 8, 2018

The latest comes from POST Wrestling’s John Pollock, who reports JR is in an emergency room this morning awaiting test results on his rib injury, and that Ross is still in a lot of pain.

Ross does a fair amount of grumbling during these live New Japan specials about production issues like this essentially not being up to the standards he’s used to. Seems there were at least a couple issues here - White and Robinson not giving JR and Josh a heads up about the spot, and a set-up which placed the announcers behind loose barricades that could even inadvertantly get knocked into the people and things behind them.

None of which will 100% settle work/shoot debates about the incident. If NJPW announces Barnett vs. White for Long Beach in Sept., that might end the discussion, or just feed arguments it was a shoot New Japan’s head booker Gedo turned into a work.

We can all agree to hope Ross is okay. Beyond that? Continue talking about it until the next hot topic comes along, most likely.
