Jim Ross has posted another blog minutes ago and he seems a little more clam this time around but still clearly unhappy with the move. He really is doing the right thing for business and likely had some time to look back and look to the future. The blog is located at this link.
Changes in oneâs life take some adjusting to especially at my stage of the game. This week I received an unexpected change in my professional address. Within hours of writing an emotional blog, I am positively moving on. I am going to do all I can to make Smackdown the best program the WWE produces. Working side by side with Mick Foley should be fun. It will be entertaining I assure you. Mick is a great friend and a man I greatly respect. The Smackdown roster is loaded with exceptional talent and the WWE wants the brand to grow and I intend to do all that I can in my role to facilitate that growth.
The abruptness of the âtradeâ shocked me. I most likely responded in a non professional way in the eyes of some fans. Thatâs their prerogative and each has the right to their opinion, As do I. Not to be cliche, but wrestling has been great to my family and me. I owe it to the business to âman upâ and to kick ass on Smackdown. Thatâs my plan. My emotions are what they are and I will not apologize for my candor or honesty. My feathers were ruffledâ¦poor me. I still bring bona fide passion to every broadcast and fully expect to deliver come show time. As I write this I am in the midst of some travel delays, but I will definitely be in Houston and will be looking forward to âbusiness picking upâ. I will practice what I have preached and feel that after sleeping on this major change all things happen for a reason. Life is good. My tank has been re-fueled. Letâs have some fun. For those of you that were offended by my earlier rant I apologize. For those that think âold J.R.â canât get the job done, I suggest you sit back and watch. I wish my good pal The King and Michael Cole great success but my professional priority is to help Smackdown kick ass. In more ways than one, âthe game is onâ.
Boomer Sooner!
J.R.
