Raw - First Segment

How awful was it?

Talk about a turn off.

P.S.
Please Big Show retire you fat boring waste of space

I don't care anymore about these Ross humiliation.... He's the best play by play man in the company end of they can humiliate him all they want I couldn't care less.....

On a side note Stone Cold has tweeted that he'd only have one more match if JR called it. Put that in your pipe & smoke it Vinny Mac

Good but J.R. Puts up with it for the cheque so I don't feel bad for him.

I feel sad that Vince has to stoop so low. Ross has a family to feed at least

Trending star of the year WTF, and what's worse Atlas and his annoying Flip laugh

Trending star of the year...Don't get me started on the Twitter obsession.... I know what on earth did that mean?

Atlas??? I like the Otunga replaced character so to throw Atlas out there with him was just daft

Just some of these awards are just daft

Jam it in the hole

Cream in the vadge

How do we all know that Vince does this just to humiliate JR? Maybe JR sees the funny side of things and wants to do this sort of stuff. The fans love him for it.

I felt sorry for him when he said "I never said I was a rapper"

I couldn't watch it, it was too cringeworthy and I had to turn off.

I get that feeling a lot with wrestling at the moment...

JR needs to replace Cole. JR is so much better than Cole and he is my favrioute commentaior of all time (apart from Ray Wilkins !)

Jr and the king should start doing Raw again in my view just the 2 of them. Leave Cole on smackdown with booker and Josh.

I really enjoyed road dogg's seg, he's a great talker with a lot of charisma, IMO would make a great colour commentator

JR had his chance 'to make a difference to the business he loveves' but decided to take the McMahon thirty pieces of silver, I enjoy watching him try to earn it

If he was so offended he could have walked time and again and helped another company make Pro Wrestling competitive again, he's happy to be a yes man though and the massive wedge that comes with it

Any idea on how much JR gets paid? Must be a lot to do these embarrassing things.

I think WWE offers good life insurance policy to its employees & this factors into it with Ross' obvious health related issues... Do you really think he could make a difference elsewhere?

Yeah I think Jim Ross would make a good VP in TNA, a role he excelled in at one point in the WWE, he understands the product better than most and I believe the type of talent he'd be attracted to, ex footballers, weight lifters and Amateur Wrestlers beats the hell out of the actor and model and reality star that WWE have promoted over the last five/six years

He also has an iconic voice that for me is a legitimizer

He couldn't do it on his own but Rome wasn't built in a day and if he was given the ball I'm sure he could have been a great platform for TNA to succeed, Ross clearly isn't a fan of the direction the WWE went in over the last few years so you have to believe that his outlook would be to make TNA a genuine alternative to what Vince offers

Of course they'd still need a competant booker and while the dream would be Paul Haymen (which would be far more likely with JR as VP in my opinion) but even someone who is a proven success in TNA like Scott D'Amore would have done well in booking a JR run company

You also have to consider how more appealing the company would be with a Jim Ross as the boss, with him as the voice, there would be a better chance of getting someone like Batista on board, a proven name who loves the business but hatea the WWE's direction.

For the record, due to the severity of his condition I think good ol' JR did the right thing, he works far less and gets extremely well paid, he'd be mad not to take it, however taking it has essentially volentarenly taken himself out the game and so he has no complaints about how he's used
