Sur son blogue (jrsbarbq.com), Jim Ross se montre attristé par le départ de Carlito de la WWE.

Il ne connaît pas tous les détails, mais selon lui, la WWE sentait que Carlito avait besoin d'aide, mais ce dernier ne le sentait pas. Ross croit que Carlito aurait pu être un "main eventer", mais il a négligé sa vie personnelle.

I was disappointed to hear of Carlito being released from WWE for apparent wellness issues. I don’t know all the details of this situation by any means but it seems apparent WWE felt that Carlito needed some help and Carlito didn’t agree. It’s back to the old adage that if one can’t solve a problem one has no choice but to eliminate it. I’m one that certainly believes that Carlito has the ability to be a main event level performer but no one’s professional life should ever be prioritized over their personal life and I sincerely hope that Carlito adjusts to these recent challenges and takes the necessary steps to put these negative issues behind him.

Par ailleurs, il croit que Vince McMahon a été le meilleur GM de l'histoire de "RAW". Ross confirme qu'il n'a aucune envie d'occuper ce poste et que personne ne l'a approché.

Apparently Monday Night Raw will name a new G.M. this week in Toledo on a Raw that funnyman Jon Lovitz will guest host. The event is a sellout as I understand it. I have no idea as to who the new GM will be and I would rather be surprised while watching the show live. I do know who it’s NOT going to be and that would be me. I have no desire to play a character on RAW not to mention the 51 weeks a year of travel that goes along with the job. BTW no one approached me with this option for the record. I hope someone fresh gets the nod and the role can expand and become more entertaining that ever. Mr. McMahon was the best Raw GM because that made perfect sense and his authoritative persona was easy to dislike but it seems as if the full time GM role has slowly gone down hill since.
