Why is Jim ross left eye close?

Answer 1

Jim Ross has worked out a deal to remain with WWE, although not as an announcer, he wrote on his blog Friday night.

"I have worked out what we believe to be a win/win, employee agreement with WWE and will remain with the company that I have been with essentially since 1993," he wrote. "Going forward, I will be focusing on a variety of talent relations matters, essentially as a consultant, of which will not require weekly travel. I will be visiting [Florida Championship Wrestling] in Tampa on a regular basis to observe the development of the young men and women who, I hope, all want to headline WrestleMania someday. This area of the company has always been of particular interest to me."

Ross, who has a well-deserved reputation for having a great eye for talent, went on to say that he will not be returning to any weekly WWE programs as a commentator, nor will he be brought in to announce on pay-per-views. "However, being involved with other WWE broadcast products is a possibility. A few opportunities have been discussed."

I'm guessing those opportunities would include programming on WWE 24/7 and perhaps DVDs, but that is merely speculation on my part.

Ross also said that his deal with WWE allows him to take broadcasting assignments in genres that WWE does not view as competition, including MMA.

Speaking as both a wrestling fan and a Ross fan, I am glad that he has found a role that he is comfortable with in the company that he obviously did not want to leave. It's no secret that TNA pushed hard to get him, but Ross in TNA just doesn't seem like a good fit, and I'm not sure where that would have left Mike Tenay, whose work I also enjoy.
