Twitter Fight! TNA Announcer And Jim Ross Go At It
New TNA lead announcer Josh Mathews took to Twitter to slam WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross for Ross making some seemingly innocuous comments about the UFC making a smart programming move by positioning last night's UFC Fight Night card after the NFL championship games. You can check out the exchange below:
#UFCBoston @FOXSports1 @ufc 'won' tonight while battling @nfl playoffs. Excellent idea..

Why anyone would say @ufc "won" the night over @nfl is beyond me. Please, stop. It's not a fair fight. If you are over 60, just go away.

@realjoshmathews @ufc @nfl ... That's a little stiff re: my remark. I'm over 60 & not going away. Didn't expect this from you.

.@JRsBBQ It was stiff, I get that. Sometimes you gotta call it like you see it.

After 13 years I get to be open & express what I'm thinking via @twitter. Backlash is expected & understandable, but I'm speaking my mind.

Anyone who thinks I meant @NFL is less than @UFC when j said UFC 'won' Sun NITE is ignorant. UFC Programming experiment worked. @NFL=Big Dog
