WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross spoke with the Chicago Now to promote An Evening With Jim Ross which takes place in Chicago. Check out the highlights:
What’s the chances of you returning as a full time commentator?
“It’s foolish to close any door. I’m not looking to do anymore pro wrestling broadcasting, but if the right opportunity arises then I will listen. I’m not soliciting companies, but I will always keep my ears open. It would be stupid for me to say it’s over. I have my Podcast that is doing a lot of great things and I’m writing for FOX. So I’m staying busy, but again, I’m a wrestling fan, but as an entrepreneur. I am willing to try MMA or football if it’s the right opportunity.”
“But I can be selective right now and pick the opportunities that I feel are right for me.”
For your show tomorrow, are there any guests that will be in the audience so to speak?
“We will just have to wait and see. The problem is, just because I have surprise guests at previous shows, people automatically think more are lined up for the future locations. These kind of things happen with timing and geography. I don’t book a show because I want to bring in surprise guests. If the opportunity presents itself, sure I would love for them to be a part of the presentation. I don’t know what’s available for Chicago, but the obvious one is CM Punk.”
“There are no plans for CM Punk to be at my show, but stranger things have happened. I honestly don’t know, but he knows how I think of him. I hold him as high regard as a performer and more importantly as a man.”
“The stars of the show are the fans in the audience. They are allowed to ask questions and pick my brain about anything. That’s who has carried my career for a very long time and I’m happy to give back to them in this manner.”
An Evening With Jim Ross is at the House of Blues Saturday May 31st. The show starts at 1:00PM and there are still plenty of tickets available at Ticketmaster.com.
