On a recent episode of his podcast, the Jim Ross Report, WWE legend Jim Ross took exception to a fan who brought out a beach ball during NXT Takeover: Chicago. This came during the NXT Women’s Title match between Shayna Baszler and Nikki Cross.
Here is what Ross had to say about fans bringing beach balls to shows (h/t to Wrestlezone for the quote below):
“Whoever brought the damn beach ball and punted that around at the match should have their ass kicked. How can you be — ‘oh I’m a fan, I’m a real fan, I’ve got a tee shirt that’s got a wrestler’s picture on it.’ Yeah right. Why would you bring a beach ball to a live event unless you just needed the attention? That you need to tell your buddies, ‘Hey you see that beach ball man? Hey dude, guess who brought it?’ No, you’re an idiot.
So no more beach balls please….you disrespected the people in the match. That’s not the game. So, no more beach balls please and if you see a beach ball, stick a fork in it. Like [Gorilla] Monsoon would say, ‘It’s done”
On the topic of beach balls, Cesaro had similar comments about fans bringing them to events. You can read his comments here.
What do you think of Ross’ comments? Agree or disagree?
