- In his blog update, Jim Ross once again voiced his disappointment for being drafted to Smackdown!, even entertaining the idea of no showing the Smackdown! tapings today in Houston, TX. "After speaking with my wife and thinking on this matter until 6AM Tuesday morning, I have decided to do the right thing for the fans who care and the talent who care and begin my new assignment," Ross said. As mentioned above, JR - and everyone else who was drafted - didn't know about the switch until he saw his name and photo on the Titan Tron although he said he should have detected something was in the air when facing certain individuals during the day. The WWE Hall of Famer also shot down the idea of going to WWE's headquarters in Stamford, CT., each week to do post production on the show as it's common practice since the show is taped. "That’s not going to happen. Either Mick Foley can handle it or the WWE can install a DSL line in my home to facilitate the work." JR was told that the upcoming move to MyNetworkTV is important for the company and his presence will be needed to give a boost to the show. "I can’t predict how long my Smackdown tenure will be, but I can promise that no matter how long or short it is that I will do my utmost best while sitting at ringside." The reaction on all the announcers' faces and tone of their voices spoke volumes yesterday when the switch showed up on the screen. You can read the whole blog here.
