Jim Ross

It was announced Wednesday that the Vin Scully of professional wrestling, Jim Ross, is retiring from the WWE. (Or was he pushed out?) Ross hasn't called any action for a few years and the organization hasn't been the same since.

Also, listen to his July 2012 appearance on the Hot Clicks Podcast.

Deplorable
