A few days ago New Japan Pro Wrestling presented the G1 Special, and during the Jay White vs. Juice Robinson match, White suplex Robinson into the guard rail, which then hit the announce table causing Jim Ross to fall out of his chair. JR’s broadcast partner Josh Barnett then got up and stormed the ring as officials tried to calm him down.

According to Ross, the bump was not planned, and he may have broken a rib. The WWE Hall of Famer noted that he didn’t sleep on Saturday and couldn’t put his roller bag in the overhead compartment.
For the record, the ‘bump’ I took at ringside at #G1SanFrancisco was not storyline driven matter nor was it discussed.
I think I broke a rib.

Josh Barnett later took to Twitter to say that the segment was not a work.
