UPDATE: TNA announcer Josh Matthews sent out the following tweet on Monday night, apologizing to WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross for his tweets on Sunday:
Look, the tweet was outta character & disrespectful to @JRsBBQ & I'm sorry. I'll continue to speak my mind, but in a respectful/proper way.

Maybe a little too much alcohol for Josh on Sunday while watching the NFL games?! Just sayin’ …..
ORIGINAL: It seems not even wrestling announcers are immune to having Twitter battles. Jim Ross and Josh Mathews had a brief argument on the social media platform over UFC’s Fight Night special, which aired against the NFL playoff game. Here is the full conversation:
#UFCBoston @FOXSports1 @ufc ‘won’ tonight while battling @nfl playoffs. Excellent idea..
— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) January 19, 2015
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.
— Josh Mathews (@realjoshmathews) January 19, 2015
@realjoshmathews @ufc @nfl … That’s a little stiff re: my remark. I’m over 60 & not going away. Didn’t expect this from you.
— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) January 19, 2015
.@JRsBBQ It was stiff, I get that. Sometimes you gotta call it like you see it.

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
— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) January 19, 2015
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.
