Remember about how Vince hates the term "junior" from when he was younger and everyone called him Junior and all that jazz about his hate for the word and removing the junior from Rey Mysterio's name? Well watch this piper's pit with Vince McMahon from 2003 and look at his reaction when Piper calls him Junior.

it wasn't as smarky as punks "this is Phil talking to Paul crap", because as Roddy just explained, Vince Jr. is Vince Sr.'s son, so to the common fan, hes referring to him in some what of demeaning tone to imply he's a lesser man than his father, and to us smarky sparky smarks, we believe this exact same thing, but know it to be true or at least we believe what we took from a recent shoot interview or wrestler autobiography to be the stone cold truth.

both sides can pick up and understand why the comment was said, the smarks can just understand the severity of a remark like that, so in this case, it's all good.

That video is just unfortunate if the report about JR not knowing anything about the firing angle until it happened is true. One of these days maybe JR will get tired of being a punching bag for a man child.

So what did Jim Ross ever do to cause McMahon to make him his personal punching bag for a few decades anyway? Just because he had a disability? Because that's what I'm getting from it.

To work close with Vince McMahon, you gotta accept him loving with you.

Also, Ross in public isn't the same Ross in private.

Jim Ross represents the old style of wrestling that Vince resents. It also really bothers him that while being fantastic at his job he isn't handsome and that the people he replaces him with are not as good.

Vince is a psychopath. Trying to look at it logically is silly. He's a danger to himself and others but gently caress it, this is America and he's a CEO, anything short of being caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl isn't going to get anyone to properly diagnose him.

I think people tend to forget that when it comes to Jim.

I'm not saying he's a bad guy and everything I've heard about his attitude is the same way I'd be. However, Jim was a high ranking person in the WWF who doesn't buy into or accept the WWF way. He's not a sports entertainment guy. He's a wrestling guy. So his opinion almost always clashed with Vince's. Whenever Jim was right, that meant Vince was wrong. You can imagine how that would anger Vince.

People also tend to forget that Jim Ross was a grade A rear end in a top hat to Eric Bischoff. He made him work on a typewriter in an office hallway just to gently caress with him. And then when the Executive Producer job came up, Ross was the most qualified and Eric Bischoff got the position. He didn't merely join the WWF, he ran to it. And waiting for him was probably not as bad as what would have been waiting for him had he stayed in WCW. Bischoff likely would have just publicly fired him for real and never re-hire him again, instead of doing it storyline 12 times.

Bischoff is a hack piece of poo poo but it bit Ross in the rear end. Sometimes it does good to be nice to your subordinates so they treat you the same in the future. And seeing as DDP was one of the few nice guys to Bischoff when Bischoff was a nobody, you can see how it would have helped Ross to not gently caress with him so much.

How exactly did it bite Jim Ross in the rear end? Ross was sacked from his WCW positions because he was Bill Watts' #2 and they wanted him gone from the office and as the face of the company's TV. This gave him the contract breach to go to the WWF and announce it on the WCW sponsored radio show that WCW was too stupid to remove him from. Bischoff's personal hatred of Ross had nothing to do with Ross being fired. The only possible way it hosed him was WCW had no interest in him the first time Vince fired him, but in the end it worked out way better for him because he ended up with actual power in the WWF and never would have any in WCW due to his past.

He is an old fat Southern wrasslin guy. That is like a checklist of things that Vince hates because they are things he hates about himself. Vince is an ~ENTERTAINER~ not a Wrasslin promoter, from Greenwich Connecticut (by way of a trailer park in North Carolina) with a freakish physique that belies his age, who controls every aspect of his life and diet with an iron fist (including getting mad at himself for sneezing) and would never ever get fat.

Which is awesome, because no matter how many lovely Cena movies we get, and how much they pretend that they are a fictional tv show like Gunsmoke, no matter how much they go in debt trying to buy Linda a Senate seat, he will always be the wrasslin guy. And it makes him more insane by the day.


Also the fans love JR, and what the gently caress do those stupid marks know, I'm Vincent Kennedy McMahon, dammit! They will like who I tell them to like!


Edit: JR is actually 7 years younger than Vince. And Lawler is 2 years older than JR. Ponder that for a minute. (Hint: facelifts)
