Jim Ross On The Main Reason Why He's Leaving WWE

 WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross appeared on ESPN's Outside The Lines program and confirmed that he has been in talks with All Elite Wrestling. JR's current WWE contract does not expire until March 29. You can see full video from the OTL appearance above.
Regarding his WWE departure, Ross said he only had two bookings in 2018 and that was it. "I had two bookings in 2018, so I kind of felt the writing was on the wall," he said.
Ross technically had three dates in 2018 - the RAW 25th Anniversary show, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the WrestleMania 34 Kickoff pre-show, and the Greatest Royal RumbleKickoff pre-show panel. Ross said on his podcast that he recently spoke with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and the two mutually agreed that it was time to move on.
JR told OTL host Ryan Smith that it came down to a matter of wanting to remain active and stay working. He said it was simply time to move on from WWE with the hope of finding a more creatively fulfilling role with another promotion.
"I miss being around people," JR said. "The main reason I'm leaving WWE is because they weren't using me very much, and I feel like I've got some great years left. I needed to get out of the house, and I need to be involved. I need to be on the road, and I need to be around people."
Ross noted that he did not want to sit at home stagnant and dwelling on the past. He had to deal with the sudden loss of his wife Jan back in 2017 as he was returning to WWE under the two-year contract.
"Two years ago this month I lost my wife in a car accident, about 30 seconds from our garage in Norman ... there's no grieving manual that I've ever read, or been recommended to, that tells you how to get through this stuff," he said. "All I know is you've gotta keep getting up, and you've gotta keep taking steps forward."
Ross still has nothing but praise for WWE and the McMahon Family.
"I had no issues, I wasn't mad at anybody -- there's no major controversy here," Ross said. "I believe WWE in general, as most television producers do, want to get younger. I've been around since the mid-70s doing this job that I truly love doing. When I was unable to get booked, to be utilized, I had to look for Plan B, and Plan B was, 'let's step away gracefully.' Vince McMahon and his family have been amazing to my family."

For those who missed our previous report, Ross confirmed that he's been in talks with AEW, but nothing has been signed. He said, "I don't know, we're talking. I just haven't signed anything yet. My people and their people are doing their thing. The only agent I grew up knowing was a State Farm agent in Oklahoma, I got a real agent now, man. So, they're working on it. I'd like to get into some voice-over work, I'd like to do some... I wouldn't mind having a radio gig doing college football."

Alberto El Patron Admits He Made A Mistake By Disrespecting Triple H, Talks Possible WWE Return

Former WWE Champion Alberto El Patron (Alberto Del Rio) recently spoke with Super Luchas and said he is now on good terms with WWE and specifically Triple H.
"There were many great moments in WWE, but the most special was to win the Royal Rumble of 40 wrestlers. I swore that they were going to do another Royal Rumble to take away that privilege from me, with 41 wrestler, but they have not," Alberto said in highlights sent to us. "Now everything is normal with them, I apologized and shook hands, even with Mr. Levesque [Triple H], with whom I do not agree on many things, especially how things ended and how they were done [when he was fired in 2014], but I should never have crossed the line and disrespect him. A man can only be called a man by admitting his mistakes. I lived a very difficult stage in my life: 1 year and 2 months in which I had to win the most difficult battle of my life that was against myself."
Alberto has spoken out about Triple H a few times over the years, most notably during a drunk rant on Periscope in April 2017. This was while he was dating Paige. During the rant, Alberto talked about "keyboard warriors" and made a reference to Triple H. He said, "You remind me of one of the bosses in WWE, with the big f--kin' nose, big f--kin' pussies."

During the same rant, Alberto continued ranting on Triple H. He said, "Ya know, I'm close to the next town. Stamford. I could pay a visit to somebody. Stamford is only forty-five minutes away. That's where all the pussies live, right? I could go there and just knock on someone's door, 'Hey, big nose with the small dick.'"
Alberto says now things are normal with his former employer.
Regarding a potential return to WWE, Alberto said the door is open for him to go back there before he retires from the ring.
"Returning to WWE before retiring is not a question of whether they want to or I want to return," Alberto said. "Neither I hope nor want to return nor do they expect me to return or want me to return. But the two of us have had approaches, especially to make the peace, which opens the door to the fact that before I hang up my boots I can have some last matches in WWE. I clarify it: neither they beg me, nor I beg them. It's just that the door is open for a future."
Patron made a surprise return to WWE at Hell In a Cell 2015, defeating John Cena to win the WWE United States Title, and he last appeared for the company on the August 16, 2016 SmackDown episode, losing to Cena. He debuted for Impact Wrestling in March 2017 and last appeared for them in March 2018. He has worked just a few indie events since then.
