Former WWE Writer Not Fond Of J.R., Jericho Continues Countdown

- Vince McMahon took another stab at Jim Ross in a backstage segment on Monday’s Raw SuperShow, which saw the WWE Chairman make a horribly contorted face ridiculing the Hall of Fame broadcaster’s affliction with Bell’s palsy. Ross suffers from the condition, which sometimes results in temporary paralysis of his facial muscles. NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood producer Joe Franciosi, who worked as a creative writer for WWE in 2010, said he discovered why Ross is often ridiculed by company brass after encountering the legendary broadcaster.

“I sat through tons of meetings where Vince and tons of others would just shred JR,” Franciosi wrote on Twitter. “I wondered why till I met him.”

- Counting down to seven days remaining on his thirty-day WWE suspension due to denigrating the Brazilian flag at a WWE live event in São Paulo on June 14, Chris Jericho tweeted Saturday, “”7 deadly sins, 7 ways to win, 7 holy paths to hell and your trip begins.7 downward slopes, 7 bloodied hopes, 7 are your burning fires, 7.”

I think it means Vince is.

I think it means Vince is.

That's not a secret, we know he's a child who'll take his frustrations out on people on screen. :dawg:

no they are saying JR is a douche. He wondered why they made fun of JR and then he realized why they did when he met him. JR could be a dick. He told Kharma she was too fat to be a wrestler. Regardless JR is the best announcer that company has ever had and I will always think he is a boss

True, I've heard stories about one time when a fan went to meet King and JR when they were leaving a hotel or something, King talked to him and everything while JR just said "get the fuck away from me" or something like that. I also interpreted it that way. But indeed, he's a great announcer.

"I wondered why 'till I met him." I could picture Jr being a dick, tbh. But not on purpose but for a lack of social skills.

"I wondered why until I met him." Well, nice of him to stop there and not tell us exactly why he was turned off by JR as a person.

True, that "small detail" would've helped a lot. Writer not telling everything that needs to be told.
