— Former WWE referee Wes Adams spoke about Jim Ross’ retirement in a new blog. He questioned if it was the end of an era.
He wrote: “WWE has been evolving from a ‘wrestling company’ to an ‘entertainment company’ for years. They would probably even argue that they have never been a “wrestling company” to begin with. It’s sad to watch strong WRESTLING people like Ross and Matt Striker be released and sent on to their future endeavors.”
