Jim Ross Reflects On His WWE Release
As we all remember, Jim Ross was fired from WWE several years ago due to issues with Ric Flair during a panel back in 2013. During a recent interview promoting his new book, JR talked about his interactions with Vince McMahon during that time and after his release.
Even when Vince let me go on September 11th, 2013, I got let go and we did that about five minutes and then we spent half hour shooting the breeze. Not a raised voice, not a curse word, nothing. I knew that he had to do what he had to do, and I knew that I had made an error judgement, but I knew that my drinking scenario had been misreported. I put myself in that position and I am a big boy and took it like a man. I walked out with my head held high, he gave me a big hug. We were never separated; Vince and I would text each other off and on the entire time I wasn’t working there.
Becky Lynch On Survivor Series & Opportunities On SmackDown Live
During a recent interview promoting WWE’s current European Tour, Becky Lynch spoke about being the captain of the blue brand’s Women’s Team and the opportunities she’s gotten on SmackDown Live.
“When I was the first Women’s Champion for SmackDown Live, it was a great source of joy and pride for me. It was my mission to make sure it was the better brand and that it had very engaging storylines and that people would get invested in whatever was going on. I wanted them to really care about the women we have on SmackDown Live – and of course the men.
“At Survivor Series last year we got the opportunity to showcase that, we really did, and we had that feeling that the fans were behind us. Maybe sometimes it seems like we’re not getting as many opportunities as they get on Raw so the fans root behind that – they feel sympathetic towards that.”
