8 Things We Learned From The WrestleMania Go-Home Smackdown Live! (March 28)
6. Class Is Permanent
Though it didn't occur on Smackdown Live! itself, the comments about the passing of Jan Ross made by Daniel Bryan at the very beginning of Talking Smack bear repeating, in a traumatic time for the tragically widowed industry institution Jim Ross.
Anybody with even a loose connection to the industry as a performer, past or present colleague of 'Good 'Ol JR' or merely as a fan of professional wrestling felt a deep sadness for the former voice of WWE as he reported the heartbreaking loss of his wife, and Bryan was typically full of class and dignity when it came to paying brief tribute.
As a company, the death of a former announcer's wife is a challenging situation to formally address in a public setting, but the former World Champion effortlessly echoed the thoughts and condolences of the mass 'WWE Universe' with aplomb in a manner that would likely reach many that have grieved for and with Jim.
It was a noble acknowledgement of some deeply dire circumstances, and as an avid follower of the current product, Ross will hopefully see the tributes and be reminded of the vast network of support he has in and outside of the industry.
