JR comments on his 'deal' with WWE expiring soon and if he will re-sign
On Monday, September 10, 2007 at 2:00 AM EST Jim Ross has a new blog entry up on his official website (www.jrsbarbq.com) and confirmed reports making the rounds that his deal with WWE would be expiring soon. Here is the quote:
"I am in hopes of re-signing with the WWE and talks are on going. I don’t see any immediate issues on the negotiation horizon. This is another story that has taken a life of its own and many internet sites have written about it as if they know exactly what is going on, but none of them have talked to me about it, which should illustrate that there are times when some sites simply take a rumor and run with it as fact. My goal is to continue to work for the WWE, but if that were not to work out, I still have plenty to do to keep me busy. My wrestling career has been a blessed one that I would have never envisioned over 30 years ago, but all things have to come to an end at some point. Our Bar-B-Q biz is going to continue to grow as we hope to start rolling out more store stores in 2008 and plan on building several stores over the next few years."
