Road Dogg, real name Brian James, recently recalled holding a grudge against Jim Ross for his WWE release in 2000. James was released from WWE along with several other wrestlers, including Billy Gunn, Chyna, and X-Pac. At the time, James blamed Ross for his release, believing that Ross had not been a strong advocate for him.
However, James has since come to realize that he was wrong to blame Ross. In an interview with Wrestling Inc., James said that he was “young and dumb” at the time of his release and that he “didn’t know any better.” He also said that he has since apologized to Ross and that they have since made up.
James’s story is a reminder that it is important to be careful about who we blame for our misfortunes. Sometimes, the people we blame are not the ones at fault. It is also important to be willing to admit when we are wrong and to apologize when we make mistakes.
Here is what Road Dogg said about holding a grudge against Jim Ross for his WWE release:
“I held a grudge against Jim Ross for a long time. I thought he was the one who got me released. I thought he didn’t want me around anymore. But I was young and dumb. I didn’t know any better. I didn’t realize that it wasn’t his fault. It was my fault. I was the one who was screwing up. I was the one who was getting into trouble. I was the one who was not living up to my potential.
“But I’ve since apologized to Jim Ross. We’ve made up. We’re good friends now. And I’m so glad that we’re good friends now because he’s one of the best people I know. He’s one of the best friends I have. And I’m so grateful for him.”
I think Road Dogg’s story is a valuable lesson for everyone. It is important to be careful about who we blame for our misfortunes. Sometimes, the people we blame are not the ones at fault. It is also important to be willing to admit when we are wrong and to apologize when we make mistakes.
