On the Jericho/Jim Ross/Jaguars rumors:

* Someone on another board was saying, and I don't know their credibility, mind you (they said wait for Meltzer and Johnson on it), that the rumors are "65% false" and "very premature."

* Jim Ross is apparently telling people that he will only be an announcer. His WWE deal expires shortly and he has negged on re-upping.

* Cody's apparently been talking about breaking down barriers and all this sort of stuff in 2019.

* Whatever exists of current plans is looking for a late-2019/early-2020 launch.

* Barry Bloom is said to be involved. He's JR's agent and is also still representing Bill Goldberg. He was taking meetings in Japan regarding it.

* Jim Ross has been sending feelers out to select WWE talent. Chris Jericho has been working the New Japan side.

* Tony Khan, son of Shahid, is said to be heavily involved and a big wrestling fan. He follows Omega, Cody, The Bucks and Marty Scurll on Twitter. Tony Khan is worth $4.5 million himself. Shahid is worth $6.9 billion. Vince McMahon is worth $3.2 billion.

* JR hinted on his podcast that he expects some big moves between now and the ROH/New Japan Madison Square Garden show, specifically in response to Omega and The Bucks, and suggested that his opinion is informed and not just baseless speculation. He's picked up "little bits from here, little bits from there."

* Promotion is said to be based in Las Vegas.

Usually news about new promotions leaves me underwhelmed, but having such a big backer in Khan and people with the reputation of a Jericho, Ross and Bloom involved makes me think that if anything has the chance to be a new "WCW," then it'll be something like this. The environment is the best it's ever been.
