[edit] JR the ref?

Jim Ross has never reffed. Can someone remove that cat from the article? I can't for some reason. TaintedZebra 06:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

He has refereed, early in his career, when he was working for Bill Watts under Ernie Ladd's tutelage. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 06:57, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Then it should be mentioned in the article, otherwise the cat makes no sense being there. TaintedZebra 22:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

What a stupid statement. He has reffed. Therefore the article will say he has been a referee. There is no point in not saying it if it is true.

[edit] McMahon outed

In actual fact, McMahon was first revealed as more than just a commentator at the 1994 Royal Rumble, when in introducing Ted DiBiase as his color commentator DiBiase states "In fact, it should be the other way round McMahon you should be working for me". So I think it should be removed. Masterofdestiny (talk) 06:49, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

That is just a hint, a passing comment. Ross's worked shoot was the first instance of McMahon's ownership status being openly and explicitly stated, both in terms of the storyline (the work) and in terms of the reality that many fans were not aware of at the time (the shoot). There is a huge difference. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 07:22, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] His birth year

I think WWE.com's report of his 63rd birthday this year are not accurate or realistic. Meaning, I think the DAY is correct but not the year, I don't think he would say in an interview an age that differs so much from WWE.com's figure. The 63 years was probably decided upon by WWE creative as J.R. is meant to be old and such, already older than Vince McMahon now too...

I read in Power Slam magazine that Jim Ross was born on January 3rd 1952 which makes him 56 years old.Jimmy1994 (talk) 21:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
