Jim Ross: "Tonight ladies and gentlemen, before I was so rudely interrupted with a commercial break, we’re gonna conduct this interview right now and in just a couple of moments I’m gonna bring Big Daddy Cool Diesel and Razor Ramon right out here.

But before I do, I’d like to beg your indulgence for just a minute or so and tell you something that I’ve got on my mind. There’s something I’ve been wanting to say for a long, long time and when I’m through telling you many of you are going to question my loyalty to the WWF. So let’s clear that up right now: I have no loyalty to the World Wrestling Federation! I’ve only got loyalty to good ol’ J.R. and let me tell you why: In 1993 I left a great job in Atlanta, Georgia. I left the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League to go to the recognized leader of sports-entertainment: the WWF. I came here to be the primary play-by-play man in the WWF. I don’t think anybody here’s going to disagree that I’m the best play-by-play man in the whole damn business.

So when I show up for work, the first day, at WrestleMania IX in Las Vegas, Nevada and they give me a sheet to wear. They said, “Oh it’s gonna be a toga. You’ll look good in a toga, J.R.” I leave the National Football League for a toga, it’s crap.

And then ladies and gentlemen I go to the first King of The Ring in Dayton, Ohio. I guarantee ya: you listen to that broadcast, I carried the broadcast from ringside. And then did you ever wonder where good ol’ J.R. went to? Why isn’t J.R. doing play-by-play anymore? Let me tell you why: because the egotistical owner of the World Wrestling Federation, and you know who I’m talking about. I’m talking about Vince McMahon, couldn’t stand the competition.

So J.R. disappears. And then on Superbowl Sunday in 1994, I woke up with an affliction called Bells Palsy. And my entire left side of my face looked like I’d had a stroke. You think I liked that? You think I like that my left eye doesn’t open all the way because I got sick? Well let me tell you how warm-hearted Mr McMahon is: Mr McMahon called me in to his office on February the 11th 1994 and he fired my ass!

So I get back in my car and I’m driving to my home in that overpriced hell-hole Connecticut. And I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to tell my wife, and my two little girls that their daddy had just got fired.

So then, remember when McMahon got indicted? They needed somebody to come back and do RAW. They called ol’ J.R. And then he let me go again! So finally they called me back, hired me back for 50 cents on the dollar to come back and work in the front office. Do you think that all these guys leaving the WWF was an accident? Hell no it’s not! You think that all these guys coming here was an accident? Absolutely not. I’ve been very busy. And right now, I wanna bring back one of your favourites. He’s the Bad Guy, Razor Ramon …"
