TNA Interested in Jim Ross and Paul Heyman

The recently gained negative ratings by TNA sparked once again talks inside the company about bringing in Jim Ross and Paul Heyman.

Jim Ross is still under contract with WWE until the 30th of the month but has indicated on his official website that he doesn't know what the future holds for him in WWE. This comment was followed by rumors stating that Jim Ross is no longer in WWE plans and after WWE did not use him in WrestleMania despite his presence in the arena.

On the other hand, Paul Heyman is contractually free, but has shown a lack of interest in joining TNA when friends have asked him about joining the company in the past. However, TNA are trying to convince him to accept a position with the company offering him power beyond that of appearing as a character and writing shows.

Heyman though, has recently blasted the company on his Twitter account about the current RVD and Jeff Hardy storyline.

   Rofl Kid I am not too sure - I read reports last week from my source saying that a reliable WWE newsreporter to ewrestlingnews.com stated that WWE seem reluctant to use him anymore - and this was followed by another report the day after from the same reporter which said that WWE's plan (especially backed by NXT) is to have new stars entering the industry such as the NXT and developmental ppl - WWE is changing alot and JIM ROSS is being involved less and less

   JR had several fallings out with WWE before and has been fired twice (early 90's admittedly but still). But heyman hates bischoff, i mean really really hates. i couldnt see them working in the same building. they should have gone for heyman instead of hogan and bisch last year

   Good point mayhem. But the ego's over at TNA would never let Heyman run the show. He would do well with it though.

   J.R. is WWE for life? Even if they don't use him and he used to work for WCW? Again, I am so glad I get to beat a lot of you people up in this game.

    Jim ross and Paul heyman are maybe famous but if they go to TNA then TNA will be the worst program ever. Colin DeLaney is much cooler than TNA right now

    Bring Heyman in as the manager of a group of ECW originals. Invade WWE shows and make life hell for guys in TNA. Come on TNA! Do it for the fans!
