Jim Ross responded to Buff Bagwell’s claims on the Stone Cold podcast that Jim had ruined his career in 2001 when Bagwell came to the WWE after the purchase of WCW.
During The Ross Report this week, Ross noted that he had not listened to what Bagwell said and he won’t listen to it either as he is not interested in hearing himself being goaded (buried).

Ross responded,
“my former job as head of WWE talent relations was oftentimes a thankless job.” Ross said that he had the distinction of having to let people go and it’s always the worst part of the job. Ross added that it was great helping many wrestlers to live their dreams, become wealthy, and help facilitate them to have a great quality of life for their family. He said that when word came from up top to terminate talent then he was the messenger of bad news.
Ross said,
“I never relished in firing people and it only makes sense that if a talent could help a company that I wanted them to make it. I’m sorry Marc feels like he does. I’m sure he believes what’s there is true but I never went out of my way to cause him any misery. I just was the guy that had to deliver the bad news.” Ross wished Bagwell the best in the future and said that he hopes that he’s healthy and continues to enjoy life.
