Jim Ross recently talked about a wide range of topics on his Grilling JR podcast.
During the podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer discussed serving as the WWE as the EVP of Talent Relations and why he believes is the reason Vince McMahon put him in the role.
“He trusted my experience and my logic and he saw how I communicated with the talents. Poor J.J [Dillon] kind of aged out, and J.J is a good man — really a good man — but Vince had seen him too much. J.J allowed himself to get overexposed.
“I think Vince’s logic, here’s a guy that’s been the business over 20 years, he’s a student of the game, he doesn’t want any the boy spots, he doesn’t want to be a manager, he doesn’t want to be a whatever, he doesn’t want to be a talent and I didn’t. I wanted to contribute to the company’s success … I think I got too much power; I think that I was perceived having too much power.”
