Read this off 411mania.com
-Jim Ross' contract is up at the end of the month. Word is that neither side in interested in signing a new long-term deal. It appears as if Ross will work on a week-to-week deal until he is ready to leave or WWE decides it is time to replace him again.

I wonder if WWE realizies they have no one to replace him with again. Zombie Josh Mathews is the top option if they're going to try to 'promote from within' again.
Anyhow, if he's really leaving for good this time, I'm conflicted. His recent work has been really really annoying, but it is still far better than the prospect of Todd Grisham calling Monday Nights.

Maybe they'll announce a signing deal with Joe Rogan ....

It's about time. JR is a legend, but lately...
I hope... I HOPE this means he's going back to Talent Relations. He's sorely needed there.

Here's the thing: JR wont be around forever. Therefore sooner or later someone needs to get a shot anyway. JR's fall from grace reminds me of Tony Schiavone's fall from a great play by play man, to sad and pathetic shill. I'd consider bringing in Scott Hudson and giving him a tryout

I like JR, but we need a better, younger, fresher announcer or one who hasn't really lost his touch. With that in mind, BRING BACK TONY SCHIAVONE!!!!

Bring in Joe Buck. If you thought JR was a shill for Cena, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Joe Buck is to the Yankees as Jim Ross is to John Cena.

I would want a female commentator, for a bit of a change, but I know none are currently worthy of it.

I'd actual be curious to see if WWE would try and sign "The Master of Hyberbole" himself, Tony Schiavone. I never thought he was a terrible play-by-play guy, he just was fed some bad lines during the NWO run that made him sound like a goof. I dunno who should be his color guy though, Lawler stinks.

I would pay an absurd amount of money to kick the shit out off Joe Buck. I get really sick of listening to him giving Jeter a verbal BJ every time he's on camera (which is alot, since Fox is on his nuts)

I'd like to see Josh Mathews and Christopher Nowinski be the new RAW commentators.

Didnt they already do this angle? Anyways I predict a Shane-O Mac return to the broadcast table. On a similar note, I wonder if a female on play by play would work? I dont think thats ever happened.

I dont think thats ever happened. It sure didn't when they had Lita & Coach host Heat years back. But that could have just been because it's LITA.
