HOF Announcer Jim Ross Speaks on WWE Future

The following is an blog entry made by Hall Of Fame announcer Jim Ross

If I get asked one more time when I'm going back to work at WWE, I think my head will explode. I appreciate everyone's concern and support but the answer to that question hasn't changed in months. My career will take whatever direction it's meant to take when contract negotiations commence. One never knows how that process will go until it begins. I do expect it to go well.

But, no, I am NOT retiring full time and "going fishing." I have many, varied interests that I am investigating becoming involved with but I'm not doing  anything that I don't think that I would really enjoy at this stage of my life.

I truly love the wrestling business but I also take pride that I'm not and never have been one dimensional so that allows one to approach many endeavors positively and with an open mind.


Without question, pro wrestling has been such a vital part of my life for over 35 years and no matter what else I may or may not do for a living going forward I will always be a huge fan of the genre. Being in the wrestling biz and functioning at such a high level not only as an on air talent but in corporate administration, as well,  has helped prepare me for many possible endeavors.

    Sometimes it seems like JR is too intelligent for this industry.

    JR is a true legend of the wrestling business and very intelligent. He seems to be an decent human being which is more then I can say of Vince... I hope he gets back soon

    Good Ol' J.R. is seriously the single best commentator that the wrestling industry has ever seen. Better than Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan (even though both of them made me laugh a lot), and even Jerry Lawler. Unfortuantely someone never told him WWE isn't wrestling. Remember Vince calls it "Sports Entertainment" and basically saying to everyone it's fake.

    J.R And The King back to the RAW announcement table would be the return of the year.
