From J.R.'s blog....
- Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights.
Ross on whether Mike Adamle was hired to eventually replace him: "After my cancer scare of 2005, I look at my career a little differently now and take every day one day at a time and know that my next broadcast could be my last for any number of reasons. Bottom line is I count my blessings and I am proud of much of the work of which I have been associated and honestly feel I can contribute for many more years in my current role on Monday Night Raw.
"I know the King feels the same way. However, when the day comes to say adios on Monday night there will be no Tony Soprano 'Poor me' stuff going on. But for those keeping score at home, in my mind I am far from ready to tap out and call it a career. Was Mike Adamle brought in to replace yours truly at some point? Beats me. And I don’t care. I do know that my best days are yet to come behind the mic, or at least that is how I choose to approach my work. As it relates to wrestling announcing, interesting days lie ahead."
I think at this point, if J.R. were to sadly pass or get too sick to go on.... I say bring back Vince McMahon to call RAW. He's great at it, and as much as I love Michael Cole, Cole should stay on SD. Adamle is way too green.
Full Version: Mike Adamle to replace J.R.?
I like cole to but i think if J.R. were to leave.Cole should stay on SD! for now,however one day Cole will be the Veteran Announcer in WWE ,and at that point i think cole should move on to Raw.Josh Matthews should be a canidate to to be on one of the 3 shows one day to imo.
Hi Bubba here, RAW will not be the same without Good Ole JR. As for someone to replace him, is still up in the air for me. Not many folks out there that can come in and fill his shoes, so to speak.

That's why I think a Vince McMahon would make the transition alot easier.
Instead of someone like Adamle, Todd Grisham or Coach.

I liked Vince. Maybe It'll keep him out of major storylines, it'll keep him on t.v he just won't be involved in storylines.
Vince's days of being involved in 'interesting' storylines are over imo.
It's time to let Shane take the throne.
