Jim Ross Reacts To The Pittsburgh Pirates/MLB Rumors, Jarrett/GFW, More

— Jeff Jarrett said on Twitter that he met with Germany’s wXw promotion about appearing in April. The Global Force Wrestling website has now been updated to note that the Jarretts will be working.

— WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross posted a new blog in which he addresses speculation that he’ll be working with the Pittsburgh Pirates as an announcer. Ross said in a response to a fan question that he would move to Pittsburgh if he had the chance to join the broadcast team, which led to people thinking he was actually in talks to do so.

Ross wrote, “Who would have thought that me answering a simple, harmless Tweet from a fan about the vacant Pittsburgh Pirate baseball broadcasting gig would have created such a stir. Being a life long broadcaster and baseball fan, among many sports, I simply said I’d relocate to Pittsburgh, my wife’s hometown, to be able to broadcast baseball in the major leagues specially in Pittsburgh. Obviously, I have had zero interaction with the Pirates organization nor do I expect any. I do appreciate the heartwarming support that I’ve received via Twitter @JRsBBQ regarding this matter and I respect the opinion of the naysayers who have made it clear that they do not want a ‘pro wrestling guy’ touching their baseball broadcasts. That take is somewhat narrow minded but I certainly understand where they are coming from whether I agree or not. I’ve been battling that stereotype for years.”
