Sources inside World Wrestling Entertainment reveal that an offer has reportedly been put on the table for WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross to return to the broadcast position he helped elevate alongside Jerry Lawler on WWE Raw.
Prior to this breaking report, Ross updated his blog with the following after his return at the recent WWE Old School Raw episode:
"Even though I felt that I was a little rusty on commentary, I had a super time working with King and being back at ringside. It's hard to simply walk away from something that's in one's DNA and that has been such a prominent part of one's life for four decades. It had been 13 months since I last called a wrestling bout but after listening to the show after I arrived home on Tuesday it seemed to go o.k. I've never called a perfect bout and likely never will be the goal is always be work diligently to be better the next time than one was the last time. Finding or residing in one's comfort zone is the kiss of death"
As it turns out, many WWE fans were outraged by Michael Cole's "Disrespect" toward JR. In his blog, Ross defended Cole saying the following:
"Lots of fans have sent me emails and Tweets, @JRsBBQ, regarding Michael Cole's performance during the Swagger-Bryan bout and be assured that Michael was simply doing his job and embellishing upon his new, antagonist persona. There are no issues here I can assure you. If I helped folks dislike Cole's new persona then I accomplished one objective it would seem."
So is JR headed back to WWE Raw full time?
