You don't make Jim Ross the third wheel, you make him the engine.

lol cant cut it anymore.
Dude is still great. The three man thing doesn't work as well as simply being the "other" guy at the table. Give JR more freedom and ONE partner and he is still solid.

And Ryder sucked during his US title run, he lost almost every match when he was champion. And he's a sub-par in-ring worker. So I don't see how Ross was wrong in what he said. That's what I was going to say. Not discounting Ryder, but the US title doesn't exactly make you a main eventer. I'd argue it's pretty much the lowest (non-NXT) title right now as far as the push the champion gets. It's sort of a stepping stone that says " maybe we might possibly want to push this guy." JR should be able to see that, and if anything, it's silly to act like that's not what it is. For starters, look at Cesaro's position in the company right now. |

Jeez. I can't believe you'd all turn on good old JR like that.
It couldn't just be that he had an off night or that there were chemistry issues, he's just done. Get him out of there.

You don't make Jim Ross the third wheel, you make him the engine. Bingo. Taker/HHH at Wrestlemania and the weekly NXT shows have shown he's still got "it". Everyone else has already said what the problems are...it ain't JR. |

Yeah, JR just seemed to slow things down. He should be put out to pasture with the King as well. Cole and JBL were much better on the PPV, without Ross.

Jim, sorry but you might wanna step down.. Don't worry though, we'll all go to your place and use some of your special BBQ sauce and have some fun.

I know, it's make me laugh as well. Three man teams don't work, especially not a three man team made up of the former lead guy and the new lead guy. On top of that, the other two have history and chemistry, so of course they are going to sound better together. Who did JR have to bounce of there? Calling him done because a team of two lead play by play men and one obnoxious (but great) colour guy didnt work is some of the silliest reasoning I have ever heard. |

Wow, how things change. To be fair to JR, last night it was Cole doing play by play and JBL doing the heel bombast stuff, so his role was reduced calling certain moves.
I still think he can cut it.

So 3 years of crap is an "off night"? JR just cannot call a 2 or 3 hour live show anymore, and there is nothing wrong with that. Give him one match to focus on and plan out what he wants to say or a taped show where he doesn't have to improvise, thjnk and can be edited and he's still great. |

What bothered me most was during the tag title match where jr just persisted that the only way they could lose was by allowing kane in the ring, as if the former world champion and someone who beat kane recently on ppv isnt good enough.

That's because he's not the JR we all know and love. It's his counterpart, Evil JR. That would explain the sudden goatee. |

2 announcers and 1 color guy is too much anyway. 2 men booth is the way to go. I'm not saying JR wasn't bad or shouldn't come back but there wasn't too much room to gain momentum

Like others have said, it's not that he can't cut it so much as that he's unnecessary right now. Cole and JBL work fine together, don't add other people to mess it up.
