He was a very loyal employee and Vince would fire him with no problem. I’ve worked with employee’s that never miss a day of work, honest, and hardworking and lost their jobs for small reasons.

Missed are the days of JR and King. Between the two of them I've had some of the greatest laughs and enjoyable matches on televised wrestling. The banter they would get into, the way they would feed off eachother. This man brought so much to the table and did it night after night. God how I wish he would come back.

    The bottom line is it comes down to Vince’s egomania. In Vince’s mind, the success of WWE is a complete result of his own genius. In fact, the success of the greatest era in wrestling history (Attitude Era/Monday Night War) had more to do with JR than Vince. Without the voices of the era, JR and King, and without JRs booking and management during that time, the era simply isn’t the same. Deep down Vince realizes that and it drives his ego crazy, therefore he must belittle and betray JR to make himself feel like a bigger man. Hold your head high JR, Vince will always be beneath you!

    JR, I don’t grill and was born in ‘88 so I grew up on the pinnacle of WWF/E, back when you had a slow show on Sunday and waited for that Monday night. One of the reasons was your commentary, can’t discount The King as you guys played off each other. I will never forget the commentary when ol Stone Cold poured a cement truck into Vince’s “car.” I stopped watching in 2003 when everything starting getting weird and not what I was used. I have since stopped watching, but you came across my feed so I’ll show support for someone that I can hear, that leads me back to a simple time as a 5/6 grader wondering if my homework was correct. You are the greatest broadcaster on any sport I have ever heard. I hope that future ventures are prosperous for you and your family. Long Live JR and that God Damn Cowboy hat.

That's what's wrong with the WWE and the nepotism that resides there. Vince Sr. never worked that way. In the old days the promoters used to help you get a job, a phonecall for you to be used in another territory. Now it's "I hope he's bankrupt and homeless, makes us look good." Vince Sr. from all I've heard is he was a good, fair and middle of the road man. Vince Jr. is a little rich spoiled brat. Ego through the roof.
