There was a time when Jim Ross and WWE were as inseparable as auto mechanics and truck accessories; but even though his current contract expires come 2010, WWE apparently has not even begun negotiating an extension for Ross, who currently is the lead announcer on SmackDown.

So, the gossips are speculating – as they do – that the WWE’s only straight-talker may soon be talking up TNA instead of WWE. If it comes to pass, it would certainly go a long way toward improving the announcing quality at TNA.

All we can say here at ProWrestlingViews, though, is… say it ain’t so, guys! WWE and Jim Ross simply should not part ways.
