Jim Ross Blog: Thoughts on Lita’s WWE Departure, Lawler Being Pulled from TV, John Cena Not Working a Full Time Schedule, More

A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com and below are some highlights:

“After I was told that Lita and The King were both still with WWE, Lita DM’ed me on Twitter to tell me that she was no longer with the company. I don’t know if she opted out of her arrangement with WWE or if they decided to go in another direction. In any event, change is in the air as it relates to the expensive production of the RAW and SDLIVE pre and post game shows.

Jim Carrey once told Jerry Lawler and me on the set of ‘Man on the Moon’ the following, ‘Hollywood puts more stock on youth and look than they do on experience and skill.’ Hmm…

It seems that John Cena is traveling much the same road that Dwayne Johnson has taken in his post WWE life which I applaud. Just like @TheRock, @JohnCena is and always will be a WWE guy who may never wrestle a full time schedule again, likely not IMO, but will always be loyal to the company that helped launch his amazing career.

I know of no wrestler with reasonable sanity that is that would not trade the bumping and the road schedule, etc for the life of a TV or movie personality. Would you? I didn’t think so.

Tickets for our RINGSIDE with JIm Ross Sho in San Antonio on Sunday afternoon January 29 just before the @WWE Royal Rumble are on sale at rivercitycomedyclub.com. We will be at the Improv at River Center which is near the Alamo Dome which will host the Rumble.”
