Jim Ross On If He's Interested In Announcing For GFW, Retirement, Working With Chael Sonnen Tonight

- Jim Ross continued to do the media rounds his MMA announcing debut at tonight's Battlegrounds MMA pay-per-view. TuslaWorld.com has an interview with JR here, who said that he does not plan on retiring anytime soon.

"The whole theory of retiring," Ross said, "the way I'm wired, it's kind of obsolete."

JR also discussed controversial MMA Superstar Chael Sonnen being his broadcast partner for tonight's pay-per-view.

"He's like the John Madden of MMA," Ross said. "He took something on the banned list, and he got hammered for it. I thought, 'He's such a great analyst in the studio, maybe being a game analyst would revitalize him.'"

- MMA News also has an interview with JR here. During the interview, JR was asked if he would be interested in doing Commentary for Global Force Wrestling's first pay-per-view.

"If it seems like fun, if its going to be win-win for everybody involved from a business standpoint, I'm open to a lot of things ? and that would be on my list of something I'd be interested in doing if it was a good business decision and a good arrangement for both parties. I certainly would listen to what they had to say. It would be like an adventure. It's like one of those deals where you might say, 'I can take my wife with me on this one. We may stay a week.' That kind of deal. Why not, you can make a little pay day, you fly your wife over, you enjoy the sights, you get the opportunity to do some things we haven't had time for.

"You do 51 weeks of live TV a year for a quarter century; you don't have a lot of free time. I worked 21 years for WWE without a vacation and took a vacation maybe once. So I didn't take a lot of time off and I had a lot of responsibility. I wouldn't change a bit of it, I loved every minute of it. But I did make sacrifices that were family-oriented and I can't get back that time. When you're 62, that's one thing that you really start putting a value on, your time. So, I'm going to maximize whatever the good lord blesses me with and enjoy every day and make sure that whatever I do, I'm having fun doing it."
