• Booker T Reveals Why Jim Ross Had Heat With Many WWF Wrestlers
During the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T revealed that Jim Ross had a lot of heat with WWF wrestlers because of the downside guarantee offers he gave them.
This was the time when JR served as the Vice President of talent relations in the WWF.
Below is what Booker T said:
“I can’t give JR a whole lot of heat — I heard people talking about their downside when they came in from WCW.
A lot of guys — I didn’t hear the stories then, but I hear them now because of the age of the internet, you know what I mean? On social media you hear these stories about ‘man, he offered me this much, he offered me this much.’ I remember the downside I got — I was happy as hell.
I was like, I’m cool with that. It wasn’t as much as I was making in WCW, but it was a whole lot of money. I was like I’m good with that, I’m good JR.”
