The last thing he did was that 2K14 panel. What a way to go.

So when is TNA going to try and get the guy? Because you know that is exactly what will happen.

I rate JR and Lawler alongside Gorilla and Jesse; greatest announcing team in history. Best of luck JR, your contributions shall never be forgotten.

Sad to hear, He provided great commentary to so many classics over the years. Will miss hearing Good Ol' JR.

Helluva career. He brought so much passion and enthusiasm to his commentary. He made you want to buy the PPV. He made the matches feel important and legendary.

I guess he finally got the hint that they didn't want him around anymore. Wish he woulda got a nice send off. They had a JR appreciation night last year... yeah, last year and it was pretty much just to further the Punk/Ryback feud. Not exactly a send off.

Rumours are that that games conference thing with Ric Flair for WWE 2014 did not go down well with Vince and co. He may have jumped before he was pushed. That's something I'm hearing too. Him "retiring" may well be a nice cover story for the WWE firing him for failing to prevent Ric Flair from embarrassing a key commercial partner.

Should have happened years ago, IMO but best of luck to him.

Jim Ross was still employed?
What happened at the 2k14 panel? I was on holiday at the time and wasn't really checking the internet as much

Sad times. I'll miss JR. He was the man! SAUCE IT! That's something I'm hearing too. Him "retiring" may well be a nice cover story for the WWE firing him for failing to prevent Ric Flair from embarrassing a key commercial partner. wait, what happened? Ric Flair was apparently hammered to the gills, and he was allowed to speak. In public. Not a very good idea. The video is up on YouTube. Search for "Drunk Ric Flair WWE 2k14".

The WWE 2K14 symposium at SummerSlam weekend, where Flair went off telling drinking stories, talking about TNA and other iffy story, and JR lost control of him. Stephanie McMahon had to apologise to 2K Sports representatives.

As far as the Flair thing goes, that shouldn't be laid at JR's feet. This was the reality of Flair before they hired him back and they should have seen it coming.

Good gawd almighty it's like a carwreck!!!
I loved JR. Sad when he was moved to Smackdown years ago and feel he was better than Cole even on a bad day.

What is good old Ross James doing in the Impact Zone?
Doesn't he know we left the Impact Zone years ago?
