Backstage Update – Why JR Was Mocked On RAW

UPDATE: We can now confirm that the reason that WWE knocked Jim Ross on commentary during last week’s episode of RAW was due to Ross discussing Vince McMahon’s “sharting” incident while on the Opie & Anthony Radio Show.

In case you missed it, the moment came when JBL was discussing Vince McMahon as an announcer. Jerry Lawler asked him to compare McMahon to JR in terms of announcing and JBL said he preferred Vince because he “could speak English.” He then said that comparing the two is like comparing horse manure to ice cream (an old Bobby Heenan line).

ORIGINAL: The announcers mocking “good ole’ JR” on RAW Monday night were fed those lines directly from Vince McMahon in their headsets as you likely would have guessed. According to one source, Vince has always had a “hard on ” for mocking Ross and a video that appeared on TMZ.com several hours before RAW went live featuring JR on the Opie and Anthony show likely did him no favors. Ross told a story about Vince shitting his pants several years ago and impersonated Vince’s voice while telling the story. You can check out a video of his appearance on the show below:

Ross reacted to the announcers mocking him on Monday night’s WWE RAW broadcast. Clearly, Jim knew the lines were fed from Vince. He tweeted the following:

Don't take your venom out on @JCLayfield @MichaelCole or @JerryLawler as they are just doing their job & following orders. #ChicagoRAW
