10 WWE Stars Who Were Fired Multiple Times
WWE just couldn't stop firing these former stars
6. Jim Ross
The relationship between Jim Ross and Vince McMahon was one of the most complex – and at times outright bizarre – in WWE history.
The former WWE Chairman seemed to relish in humiliating the announcer and one-time talent relations head (especially in JR’s beloved home state of Oklahoma). McMahon was also never shy about firing Ross, which he did on several occasions.
The first time was in February of 1994, just two weeks after Ross suffered his first bout of Bell’s Palsy.
He was brought back in the Summer when Vince had some United States federal government business to attend to, but was fired before schools went back because management were unhappy with comments he made in an interview with the Pro Wrestling Torch newsletter.
They gave him the call to come back once more in December and, over the course of the next 15 years, the man in the black established himself as the voice of WWE – despite repeated attempts by McMahon and others replace him.
Eventually, his WWE career came to an end when he was fired (publicly labelled as a ‘retirement’) following the notorious WWE 2K14 panel during SummerSlam 2013 weekend when it was deemed that JR, as the panel’s host, had failed to control things.
