JR IS BACK

[September]

Ross’ new two-year deal, signed Friday, will put him in a variety of roles with WWE.

“It has a specific number of dates that I’m obligated to work, which I think is good for me,” Ross said. “So look at it this way: I got my jersey back. I got brought back to my home team, and my opportunities back in WWE, I’m sure, will be multi-fold.

“They’ve got a lot of things that I can contribute (to), and I’ve been so blessed in the business that I’ve done so many different things,” Ross continued. “I’ve been an administrator and a syndicator, a marketing rep, a VP of broadcasting, a head of talent relations. But the fun part is what I did tonight.

“I hope to have more ‘fun part’ assignments in the future, but I’ve got my jersey back,” he reiterated. “So if the team needs me to play, to work more than they anticipated because they need it, I’m in.”

I'm so happy :scrai:

I hope his announcer role isn't as reduced as it was last night.

He wasn't that good last night. But he didn't have much to work with.

He wasn't that good last night. But he didn't have much to work with.

I think he was trying not to push out JBL and Cole. Seemed like he'd just frame the situation and let Cole and JBL expand on it.

Yeah I noticed that. Seemed like he was trying to find his footing. I think they should have had Lawler assist him. Better chemistry.

He was good, but you could tell he didn't watch the current product. Can't blame him there tho, lol

it was in talks before she passed

“That conversation began months ago, and my wife was so excited about the prospects and about the potential of us coming to WrestleMania,” Ross continued. “She wanted to get dressed up and walk the red carpet at the Hall of Fame, and she wanted to hear me get introduced and to see my walk out and call a match. That was her dream, and I shared that dream, which is one of the reasons I was so willing to come here.”

JR isn't that good right now to be honest. He's fine and does a good job but he isn't unique or head and shoulders above the rest like he used to. I'm not complaining though, it's fine he's at this level at this point of his life, but don't expect much of a difference from what you got last night

I think he'll end up replacing Mauro on Smackdown for a bit.
