In a Q&A for his official website, Jim Ross said that he’s open to doing more announcing work for New Japan Pro Wrestling. Here are highlights:
On the “Kiss My Arse” match at Extreme Rules: “I don’t know the rules but it fits the ‘extreme’ theme one has to think.”
On WWE dropping first-names of NXT stars when they get called up: “I have no idea…I assume it’s just a WWE, marketing thing.”
On possibly doing a “shoot interview” with Jim Cornette: “I would love to do a show with JC any time and anywhere.”
On possibly doing some announcing for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) again: “I am open to broadcasting more NJPW events if they were to come my way. I have heard nothing of doing more since January.”
