Jim Ross Foreshadowed His Own Fate

Jim Ross was either drunk at the 2K Sports symposium and/or foreshadowed his future when he made this comment during the panel:

“This is real. This is reality television at its best. I’ve lost complete control of my job. I’m sure I’ll never be asked back, and this has probably destroyed what career I have left.”

I'm not sure why everyone is surprised that Ross has been released. Paul Levesque and Stephanie McMahon will be taking over the WWE someday. Levesque is already responsible for most of the day-to-day operations and has been putting his own staff in place. I think Ross was let go because he no longer filled a need, and the debacle at SummerSlam gave them a reason. I also don't believe that he wasn't drunk. The writing was on the wall when the EVP of Creative, Stephanie McMahon had to apologize on behalf of the WWE.
