In an interview with Yahoo Sports Radio today, Jim Ross talked about a variety of topics, including being fired from RAW. He confirmed he didn't know it was coming: "No, no idea whatsoever. It came as a complete surprise. My wife, we're celebrating our eighteenth anniversary today, none of us knew. It took me completely by surprise. It was one of those embarrassing moments you endure and move on. It's like anything else in life - when you get faced with a challenge or an uncomfortable situation, you have to make some choices on how you handle it." When asked if it was just a storyline, he said: "If it is, no one has told me about the storyline. I just think WWE upper management has made the decision, again, to go with a different presentation at the announce position and I'm not in the plans. So, we move on." Source: EWN
I just don't get WWE. Michael Cole is hard to listen to, especially when he's fully in character. Jim Ross at least made it worth listening to the show. Not that he would go to TNA, but if he went to TNA, Ross could make that show worth it.
