In case you didn’t know…
Jim Ross was released from WWE back in 2013 when it was reported that Ross failed to control Ric Flair at a WWE2K14 panel event in the months after his son Reid Flair passed away. Vince McMahon later claimed that there was no heat between the two parties and it was Ross’ decision to leave the company so that he could spend more time with his family.
Ross did return to WWE back in April 2017 when he was on commentary for The Undertaker versus Roman Reigns a match that was thought to be The Deadman’s last WWE match. It was then announced that Ross had signed a two year deal with the company and he later provided commentary alongside Lita at the Mae Young Classic in the Summer.
Ross has been in the broadcasting business for more than 40 years and has also tried his hand at UFC, Boxing and MMA, which is why he is one of the most sought-after commentators in the business.
The heart of the matter
Jim Ross recently appeared on the Unsanctioned Podcast, which is hosted by Luis Vasquez, Jae Holland, Julio Jeune where he was able to add his opinion on some of the biggest stories in wrestling. Ross talked about his infamous relationship with Vince McMahon:
He is set to return to Monday Night Raw on the 22nd January for one night only alongside former broadcast partner Jerry Lawler where the duo will be reunited as part of the anniversary celebrations. It seems that Ross thinks that he could easily be part of the current commentary team.
What’s next?
Jim Ross will appear on the 25th anniversary of Monday Night Raw in a weeks’ time alongside a number of other legends from the past quarter of a century that has made Raw the company’s flagship show.
Author’s take
Jim Ross and Vince McMahon have butted heads over the past few decades, it’s become quite a well-known thing at this point, but Ross’s comments about fitting in with the current commentary team could hopefully mean that there will be more returns to the company for the WWE Hall of Famer in the future.
