I wish he would go to TNA to help improve the show, but I do not see him going there.

I'd rather see Oklahoma in TNA
Jim Ross is annoying

So... because he sent a message to Taz, he's going to go to TNA?
I mean, I could understand having this discussion centered on Bischoff wanting him more than anyone else supposedly, but anyone just sending a text message to anyone isn't a sign of anything. It's the wrestling business, people know each other, people are friends with people who don't work for the same company, especially when they worked together for 7 years.

When you look specifically at "Creative can be tweaked easily. It’s easy 2 ID the players," it could easily be read as a guy who's on his way into the company and talking about what he'd like to change when he gets there. Not saying I do or don't believe that's the case, but I can see where the OP would read that into the statement.
That said... Jim Ross in TNA would be f'n epic.

Nothing about that made me think he was going to TNA.
He was simply complementing a former fellow broadcast partner in Taz and bashing Tenay.
That's it. Jim Ross is WWE.

...How? Complimenting a friend on a good job + advice = Jumping to that person's company does not make any logical or rational sense. It does when you take it in the full context of the situation, which you haven't done. J.R.'s less than two weeks away from being a free agent and the company who's business he just-so-happens to be discussing is strongly rumored to be offering him a huge contract. That doesn't strike you as rather convenient? Really?The two most interesting comments: " Creative can be tweaked easily. It’s easy 2 ID the players.". This is beyond giving announcing advice or general words of encouragement. These comments go deeper into TNA office talk, exactly the type of thing one would expect J.R. to be talking about if he had plans to sign with the company. Would JR really be willing to work in the same company as the two schmucks who created Oklahoma? Given the amount of public humiliation his very own employer has given him over the past 17 years? Yes. If he has thick enough skin to overlook his boss of (then) 12.5 years mocking his major colon surgery on live TV, I'm sure he can overlook the competition mocking him over a decade ago. Besides, word is Russo is "burnt out" and about to take a new position with the company, so the two may not even have any regular interactions. 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. You're doing the same thing M.O.P. is doing -- you're taking things out of context. You're right, It could be just a case of friends texting one another, I never denied that. It all fits together too well for me to believe that, though, at least not over the alternate conclusion.

This is the situation: The man's contract is about to expire. He tweeted/texted a friend that works for another company talking about that person's announcing work. There is a 99.9999999999999999999999995% chance those two things are completely and totally unrelated. Everything else is stuff you're trying to shoehorn in to fit the preconceived (and baseless) notion that this is something more.

Jim Ross must really be losing it if he told Taz he should feel good about his work.

As much as id love to see and hear JR on tna i dont see it happening
Hell remember when kevin Nash attended wrestlemania (23 or 22 cant remember) in the sky box at the invitation of Hunter and Shawn while still contracted to tna, that didnt mean he was going to jump ship. Or Bret Hart having dinner with JB. People have friends all across the business doesnt really mean it will lead to anything.

Neither of these facts are the product of my so-called "preconceived (and baseless) notion".

If Nash's contract was coming to an end, there were reputable rumors that the WWE was prepared to throw a huge contract his way and he was overheard discussing future storylines with HHH and HBK, then the situations would be comparable.

I feel like if Jim Ross comes in you could say goodbye to Russo and Ferrera which honestly would be a welcomed change for TNA. Also if you moved Ross to the announce table you could have Tenay move back to creative as well. Ross could help TNA from a business sense. If Ross was there I think there would be a tighter ship and we wouldn't see many big time PPV matches being given away for free.

All you've said is that TNA's interested and he'll theoretically be available. Texting a friend and former colleague in TNA doesn't mean he's interested. As for the earlier point about creative being tweakable... he's worked with several names that book for TNA. Maybe he's just advising Taz on how to negotiate those waters. There's some links, but not enough to say JR might be going to TNA. Yet.

I wish he'd go to TNA. Mike Tenay is horrible; almost as bad as Michael Cole, and Ross on commentary would immediately improve TNA. Then they could fire Russo and everything would be almost perfect.

Tenay was never designed to be a PBP guy. He was great as the third man in the booth when he first came to WCW. The guy with all the knowledge and chimed in once in awhile.. however, he never has any sort of emotion and you feel like he's reading off a script.
