Jim Ross news: Close to signing deal with Fox Sports, WWE documentary

Chris Graham

jim rossJim Ross wrote on his blog today that he is close to signing a deal with Fox Sports, and hopes to finalize the contract next week.

“Fox provides an amazing platform for creative work and for the many projects that I am working on during the most unretired time of my life,” Ross wrote. “Fox has some potentially, amazing creative ideas for me of which I hope that we get to collaborate on sooner than later.”

Ross also wrote that he has been asked by WWE to be part of an upcoming Paul Heyman DVD.

“I’m very honored to have been requested to be a part of this production as it was me who gave Paul his first broadcast gig and taught him the ropes as best that I could,” Ross wrote. “Paul was so high strung and outspoken that many within WCW did not want to work with him, but I saw talent in the abrasive, albeit highly intelligent, Jewish kid from Scarsdale, N.Y.”
