Top WWE Stars Upset Over Jim Ross' WrestleMania Treatment

Source : The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

"- Several top WWE superstars were not happy about Jim Ross being left off the WrestleMania 26 announcing team. Ross even wrote in his blog that Vince McMahon didn't make any time for him during WrestleMania weekend, which is unfortunate considering how influential Ross has been over the years. You can clearly see that Jim is not all that thrilled with WWE right now through his blogs. He likely wouldn't admit this but it seems pretty clear to us. He's also a guy that has always been very professional but you can tell he's frustrated and not ready to 'retire' from the booth. It seems like they're forcing it on him. We'll see what happens."

My Thoughts :

To quote Hurricane Helms, "what’s up wit dat?!"

Why does McMahon continue to not want to use "Good Ol'" J.R.? The only man to be in the Hall Of Fame for just his announcing skills.

Jim Ross has been announcing for over 15 years and has called some of the greatest matches in the WWE history.

Announcing without Jim Ross is like fries without ketchup. I can understand with his most recent Bell's palsy attack taking the time off, but why not put him back on air?

I'm sure I'm not the only one that is sick and tired of Michael Cole.

Jim Ross has also come up with some of the greatest catch phrases in wrestling such as "sloberknocker," "business is about to pick up," or "he's running like a scolded dog."

My favorite was when someone would be getting their ass handed to them, then you would hear that infamous glass break followed by J.R. saying "Stone Cold Stone Cold Stone Cold."

When you got the fans and even your top talent wanting him back, you would think that Vince would do something about it. He is always saying how he wants to give the fans what they want.

Could it be that Vince is feeling he can't depend on J.R. with these Bell's palsy attacks?

And as far as I know Jim Ross was at WrestleMania XXVI as a fan, why would they not show him?

They always show celebrities that are there. Maybe it's because if they showed him people would wonder why he wasn't announcing?

I don’t know though, but McMahon, do us all a favor and bring back "Good Ol'" J.R. and get rid of Michael Cole, Josh Matthews, or Todd Grisham. Mostly Cole though!
