Jim Ross to Most Likely Stay Put

Among the nuggets in the linked news dump for today, MeltzVarez reports that Jim Ross expects to get a multi-year extension hammered out to stay with the WWE. This is great news if it comes to fruition, mainly because Ross is the best announcer they have save possibly Matt Striker. In fact, Striker/Ross has to be a possible pairing should Jerry Lawler win the mayor's seat in Memphis, but with him polling at 4%, it's not looking like he's going to win, so it's moot. But yeah, JR in TNA wouldn't sound right at all, and I don't think he'd take the massive paycut to go to ROH, even though I think he and the elder indie fed have mutual admiration for each other.

Read the whole dump though, especially for the words about Lou Albano. For those too young to remember him in a wrestling role, the guy, as described, was one of the biggest reasons why the WWWF/WWF was so huge in the Northeast and then later on, nationwide (especially with the first WrestleMania).
