If this is legit and not NEWZ, it sure looks like it's going down. Jim Ross Screws Up Private Message to Taz on Twitter | RingScoops.comI love the idea of bringing in Jim Ross. TNA has plenty of wrestling talent, and more "big names" aren't guaranteed bigger ratings (see: Hardy, Jeff). What they need now are savvy backstage guys, guys who will make smart business decisions, booking or otherwise, that will give TNA internal growth. Ross fits the mold perfectly. I think it's plausible. I've never thought of him as being a die-hard WWE guy. Reading his blog, he rarely seems overly happy with the company, and given the way he's been treated through the years, who can blame him? If TNA offers good money, a good position and less hectic traveling, I can see good ol' J.R. accepting. |

They said it was likely meant to be a text message. A sample Tweet from his Twitter: |

Looks like he's giving Taz advice. That doesn't mean he's jumping ship.

The message was legit but, how in the hell you're digging up him to TNA from that is amazing, especially since he is under contract to WWE.
Also, love love love that he took a shot at TNA Creative.

Yeah, that's enough of a jump to conclusions to make Tom Smykowski twitch. He advised Taz on his performance, all you need to say.

I don't see him doing this. JR is probably looking to retire soon and TNA just can't offering him a package like the WWE could.

Seems like JR just talking up an old friend and colleague, really.
Id LOVE to see JR come in though. Wrestling feels weird without JR.

JR's contract is coming up soon I think he talked about it pretty recently. TNA could really use JR even if he doesn't announce at all the guy could help their backstage and business side of things big time. Personally I would love to see a JR, Tazz, and either Mike Tenay or Don West be the TNA announce team. JR does straight play by play and the professor and Tazz do the color. I still don't see it happening however JR is 58 years old and WWE most likely would be glad to have him back in some sort of capacity. |

I didn't say it was guaranteed to go down, just that it looks like it will. His WWE contract is about to run out, TNA's rumored to be heavily interested in him and now he's texting a TNA employee TNA business-related messages. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to put the pieces together. If J.R.'s not in TNA within a month (unless he has some 30/90 day no-compete clause) I'll be shocked. From last week's Wrestling Observer... |

He's done as a play-by-play guy with WWE and he says he hates working in talent relations. I'm sure there are other jobs, but is that what J.R. wants? To be a minor backstage worker in the ho-hum WWE world? TNA has bigger roles he can fill, including play-by-play. It'll be a new and (probably) exciting challenge, and if the Observer report is true and TNA wants him as badly as Meltzer says they do, he'll be more appreciated than he's been in WWE in years, if not ever. Not to mention the $$$. |

Wait. Bisch wants JR? Didn't he get rid of him during WCW cause he wasn't TV worthy with his face? Even if he changed his mind, JR's recent attack isn't exactly benefiting his commentary career.

Complimenting a friend on a good job + advice = Jumping to that person's company does not make any logical or rational sense. Would JR really be willing to work in the same company as the two schmucks who created Oklahoma? |

From last week's Wrestling Observer... A) All WWE TV Personalities have a 90 day no compete. That is why there was a gap between Coach leaving WWE and going to ESPN as well as Taz to TNA. B) He and Taz are good friends, why would he not encourage Taz on his job? Just because he is talking TNA with a TNA employee he his going to TNA. I am sorry, I'll take whatever warning I need but, stop being such a fanboy and use common sense for once. If Vince lets his one of his top execs. and the only other guy than understands the WWE payscale leave for TNA, I'll be shocked. Hell, I also throw in that JR himself has said his days in front of the camera are over. |
