Ace treated JR with the same callousness he showed the wrestling talent so no wonder he's pissed.

I am a huge Jim Ross fan (moreso 1990s version) but he's probably glad Ace is gone simply for Ace taking his job or how Ace treated him. He's overlooked Bill Demott's treatment of talent with the excuse he's a football linebacker type coach and the type his "mentor" Bill Watts would be, he knows what kind of person Watts was or still is and has been an apologist for years. JR most likely wouldn't care about any women affected by Johnny's actions. He's simply a wrestling and football guy. If it doesn't have to do with those two things, it doesn't concern him.

I thought that JR quit the talent relations job? As others have stated, like Bruce, it is the absolute worst job in wrestling since you are always the 'bad news' guy. I'd imagine that has to wear on you after a bit. From what i remember reading Jim gave notice that he was leaving talent relations and was tasked with training Johnny. If i'm remembering right he had no real end date but Vince just one day decided that Ace was ready and JR was done. Just like that. No big thank you or anything just, "Your out, Johnny's in." But then that reflects worse on Vince.

Obviously he doesn’t give a shit about how Ace treated the ladies. Just look at JR’s opinions on Dark Journey.

I won’t be the least bit surprised if anything ever comes out about JR, just based off of his various comments and commentary over the years. Combine that with the fact that he was a backstage/hiring guy for a long time back in the day when it was easy to get away with stuff.

My only though seeing the title: "JR takes huge steaming dump on something he doesn't like. Shocking. In other news science has confirmed water is still wet. Oh wait, breaking news fire is hot"

No matter the circumstances, I'm forever entertained by people dunking on ol' Johnny Ace.

Kind of off topic, but its still weird to me that this man has familial ties to both the Road Warriors and the Bellas. That's like opposite ends of the wrestling spectrum.

I mean I'm willing to bet he isn't the best of people, but is he really "living in misery?"

I mean, I can't imagine he's thrilled with getting busted alongside Vince, and before that, a lot of his job meant taking the brunt of peoples' disgust and contempt for decisions Vince wanted to distance himself from as his scapegoat, so that probably isn't the best life sometimes. Depends on how much he cares if people like him.

Depends on how much he cares if people like him. yeah for sure. my point is though, if his marriage to mama Bella is still intact, he probably has a nice life with money outside of the biz.

Is there ANYONE that's more universally hated in WWE management than Ace? Dunn, maybe?
In the past? Everyone hated Chief Jay Strongbow. Strongbow or Johnny Ace: who pisses off the roster first?
