ONE MORE NOTE ON JIM ROSS' MOVE by Dave Scherer @ 2008-06-24 13:31:09 As Buck reported, Jim Ross has made his latest blog entry at his website JRsBarBQ.com and he addressed a story that we had earlier today on the site, his feelings about being moved to Smackdown last night during the draft. As you can tell by this post, JR is not at all happy about moving to Fridays. As I said earlier, I feel Ross deserved to be told in advance about this move. His tenure and status as the greatest announcer of all time make him like the Undertaker to me, in that he should have the right to set his own course in WWE. Of course, they feel differently. I also think it's wrong that Monday's Raw is in his home state, and presented by his BBQ restaurant no less, and he was pulled from the job that he loved just in time for that. Ross is a better man than I am. I would have called it a career.

That, to me, is just an excuse being made. We already knew that no one besides THE top stars (read: Triple H and I think Batista) knew they were getting drafted until it happened, so why it was alright for THOSE people to not be told but not be alright for JR to not be told screams of double standard. And remember, no one told Cole of any of this, either, so HE was shocked, as well. He thought he was out of a job for a moment. Imagine that...JR gets drafted to SD, but at least he (for that moment) still had a job, but you're standing there while someone else takes the seat you occupied for 10 years wondering if you'll still HAVE ANY job in the company. I think THAT was worse than anything JR went though that night.
