JR Comments on Not Returning to WWE TV

Posted by Marc Middleton on Saturday, March 13th, 2010

- In the latest edition of his Q&A, at jrsbarbq.com, Jim Ross was asked the question, “What are the chances of you and the King ever being paired together again on RAW?” Ross replied:

“I don’t think that WWE is interested in putting me back on weekly TV and all the travel that comes along with it at this time. Would I love to work with King again? Certainly. Is this my call? Nope. Do I think that I will ever be paired with Lawler again on a regular basis? Highly unlikely”

    What a loss, that’s a damn shame. I could understand if they had someone of JR’s caliber to take his spot, but I don’t see anyone ready to do that at this point in time.

    Wrestling will not be the same without the greatest announcer of all time. Good ole J.R.

    JR on Smackdown was awesome. Here’s hoping he returns there at some point.

    I was tired of his stupid sayings anyways. Lawler needs to go too already. Matt Striker is the most interesting announcer there now.

    Striker is an idiot. He needs to go, and Cole needs to go right along with him.

    They need a three=man announce team of Vets, not these young, overly excited people in their 20s and 30s.

    Too bad that Gorilla Monsoon is dead and Jesse Ventura has moved on.

    Boondox just jit the nail on the coffin. During the attitude era that 3 man announce team was unstoppable. Hopefully vince gets some sence knocked into him at wm26 and bringa back jr before its to late

    @Mannul
    What are you on? Striker is awful as an announcer, his one line comments every 30 seconds at the Royal Rumble made me just want to punch the guy…

    Also, JR would be great on TNA, but I think he’s too loyal to the WWE to jump ship even if TNAs ratings went through the roof.

    Cole belongs on Smackdown, where it isn’t live and they can edit what he says.

    i miss JR honestly, i think cole and king are terrible, king was a good heel commentator early in his career as a commentator, but he’s sucky as hell at it now, striker is the best active commentator BY FAR, striker + jr = best commentary team.

    I agree that Matt is an excellent commentator, and that Cole could use some lessons in enthusiasm. However, that new black commentator, what ever his name is … is seriously lacking in mic skills.

    JR to RAW Vince is just making it Michael Cole cause WWE is rated TV-PG instead of TV-14 cause he said a lot of things like “my oklahoma ass” and all that shit. I bet JR is too good for fricking WWE!
