WWE News: Vince McMahon Unhappy With Jim Ross
The Wrestling Observer reports on a worsening of relations between Vince McMahon and Jim Ross. The legendary WWE announcer recently told an embarrassing Vince McMahon story on the Anthony and Opie Show, referencing that the chairman once went on TV after "sharting" his trousers. The incident was over a decade ago, Vince was in the gorilla position with Gerald Brisco, and as a rib he bent down to fart in Brisco's face. Unfortunately Vince followed through and even more unfortunately he was immediately due out in the ring for a Mr. McMahon segment. He had no choice but to go to the ring with a brown stain in his khaki trousers, which none of the production team dared to show. This week on Raw we witnessed what was probably a Vince inspired response to Ross telling this story. John Bradshaw Layfield on commentary started talking about how much he liked Vince McMahon's commentating work. Jerry Lawler then asked JBL how he would compare Vince's announcing to Jim Ross. Layfield replied that at least Vince could speak English, that it was like comparing ice cream to horse manure. While Layfield could have set this angle up of his own accord, there's a good chance that it could have been Vince taking a shot back at Ross. McMahon is able to feed lines into the commentary headsets, he has form for enjoying digs at Ross, and it would make sense that this was a direct response to Ross relaying the humiliating Vince "sharting" story.
