WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross announced that he is retiring from WWE today, after 20 years of service, to focus on his personal business endeavors.

Jim has had a long and storied career at WWE, both on the corporate staff as well as his television persona, calling some of the most memorable matches in WWE history as the voice of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown for more than two decades. He made his debut with WWE at WrestleMania IXin 1993 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007 by his long-time friend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.

Jim has made many contributions to WWE and the sports-entertainment industry, and we thank him for his many years of service and wish him well.

Didn't get to commentate 1 more match?

It just ain't the same with Cole.

Not surprised after the WWE 2k14 fiasco with Naitch as well. JR sounded tired in his blog posts, like he had no more passion to work for the sport. I think at this point he is more interested in his cooking and Sooners Football.

 

[Hoss]

Bah God I'm broken in half!

The reason wwe removed him from commentating was because they went pg. JR can't be JR in pg

damn


dude is literally the voice of wrestling to me. Can't count how many non wrestling related damn near inappropriate moments i've had in real life that I've laughed to myself about because I heard a JR call over them.


I'm happy to see him walking away in what appears to be solid health and in a good space mentally because I mean no disrespect by this but seeing JR get sick and frail like Heenan or Solie towards the end of his life was not something I wanted to see.


to that dude for real.


-P-
