Jim Ross Confirms He Didn't Know He Was Being Fired

In an interview with Yahoo Sports Radio today, Jim Ross talked about a variety of topics, including being fired from RAW. He confirmed he didn't know it was coming:

"No, no idea whatsoever. It came as a complete surprise. My wife, we're celebrating our eighteenth anniversary today, none of us knew. It took me completely by surprise. It was one of those embarrassing moments you endure and move on. It's like anything else in life – when you get faced with a challenge or an uncomfortable situation, you have to make some choices on how you handle it."

When asked if it was just a storyline, he said, "If it is, no one has told me about the storyline. I just think WWE upper management has made the decision, again, to go with a different presentation at the announce position and I'm not in the plans. So, we move on."
