Well, Triple H's favorite wrestler growing up has always been Ric Flair as he stated while back on Off the Record. With him being in such a comfy position in the WWE, being a former multiple WWE champion along with being the son-in-law of Vince, he might have a bit of creative control back stage or may of just noted to the bookers that he wants to wrestle Flair, I don't know since I'm not at the backstage but I'm pretty sure there is a more in-depth reason to it, I mean who knows? It might be the Nature Boy's last match before hanging up the boots with Triple H considering how old he is and how long he's been actually wrestling.

Latest on Jim Ross and WWE - Backstage reaction to storyline on RAW
? Reported by Adam Martin of WrestleView.com
? On Tuesday, October 11, 2005 at 5:24 PM EST

The word backstage from RAW last night in Corpus Christi, TX is that Jim Ross is officially done as an on-air announcer for WWE. There was said to be many who felt the writing team, and more importantly the McMahon's, didn't send off Ross in the right way if this ends up being his final appearance as a broadcaster for the company. The feeling was that a tribute could have been utilized for Ross as opposed to using his storyline firing as an excuse to put over Linda McMahon's heel turn.

At the moment, WWE's goal is to put a new, young, energetic announcer on the air for RAW's broadcast team. With Mike Goldberg turning down the offer and instead choosing to re-sign with UFC, it remains to be seen who WWE has interest in bringing in. As noted earlier, the qualifications for this position does not require an extensive knowledge of pro wrestling or even any knowledge of the business period. It is possible the WWE could use announcers they already have and push them into the spot for RAW next week, including Josh Mathews and even former ECW announcer Joey Styles.

In regards to Ross' future with WWE, we do know that his contract is up in less than a year. After that point, he would be free to go anywhere he wants. This has already prompted rumors of possibly heading to TNA once his WWE deal is up. Although Mike Tenay is considered the top announcer for that company since it began, the addition of Ross would no doubt help TNA's product overall. However, that is just simply talk as Ross could very well renew his deal with WWE and simply work behind-the-scenes and remain off the air. Another option for Ross could also include Ring of Honor. It should be noted that when Ross was fired by WWE many years ago, he went and announced for Smokey Mountain Wrestling. What may make or break this situation is if there is a large backlash by WWE fans to this move (ala Matt Hardy). If that doesn't happen, this past Monday night was Jim Ross' last appearance on WWE TV for now.
 
so i guess he done with the WWE which upset me i'm a BIG J.R fan and i think they should have done something specail to say good bye to jim ross good old JR we miss you with out JR that means we stuck with the king and coach on monday nights :disappoin oh yeah when john cena meet triple h backstage he made a comment (sorry for the bad spelling) saying that he better watch it or i might take something from you so i have a feeling that he will go after the WWE BELT here in a few months

Yea, they'll most likely fued down the road since Triple H is helping get the new guys over, he proved that losing 3 straight times to Batista, which seems to be the theme of today in WWE, when people pay all that money for a pay per view, what's the point when you're going to see the exact same matches on RAW/Smackdown the next show for free. (Example: Matt Hardy/Edge, Batista/JBL, John Cena/Chris Jericho, Eugene/Kurt Angle and so on...) lol.

But as for Jim Ross, I'd like to see JR in TNA but I doubt that'd ever happen never say never but it's probably just wishful thinking of me. He'll probably do backstage work like always along with that internet thing Vince want's to kick off, I heard about.

And Vince McMahon looks more like Kermit the Frog then ever but just know WWE fans, not to expect guys who made the show like Austin to be back on the next RAW cuz' they tend to do that to the fans, always have. RAW drew a 4.4 which is alot better then their 3.2 last week. Unfortunatley for TNA their debut, was a not surprising 0.8 when everyone was hoping for 1.0. But only reason why I looked up the ratings is because I want TNA to stay on the air since I obviously enjoy the product and can you blame me? They only get a mere 1 hour program yet they somehow jam pack it full of plenty of matches where you see moves that haven't been seen before like that canadian destroyer that Petey Williams does is literally the sickest finishing move I have EVER seen. But question is how can you get this through thick headed WWE fans? Answer is you can't so I'm just gonna stop talking now, lol.

Basically, Vinnie Mac has a stranglehold on the entire industry. About the only thing non-inde that he doesn't own is TNA. Plus, TNA has just barely begun to be advertised (only a handful of channels have ads for it). Personally, I think that if more people were aware of its existence, and who's all in it, we'd see more of a following.

Oh yea, most TNA fans though realize that it will take years if they ever want to go head to head with WWE because there are just so many factors, me personally I'm more focussed on right now, hoping that TNA will prove their ratings in the next couple of months, so far their highest was for a short time an 0.9. If TNA could prove itself to Spike TV ratings wise it'd give them a reason to stay on the national platform as Spike TV and maybe get that extra hour that everyone wants since it's so fast pace with only an hour time slot, it's like every 5min is a commercial break. Guys like J.R. would help those ratings considering he's been the voice of WWE since Wrestlemania 9 and has earned so many fans respect that it would be a good draw for them so people that are watching the program can see all the new talent and get adapted to it.

With Cena/Triple H it could possibly be a Wrestlemania match but I'd think they'd have their match at the Royal Rumble mainly for the fact it's something fans haven't seen and it gives a reason why not to put Triple H in the Royal Rumble. Another reason why is because Edge still hasn't cashed in his money in the bank and he's going to most likely be the next big star since they finally got over that Hardy/Edge fued. So I'd figure they'd have a build up like Edge/Cena or something for Wrestlemania.

But of course Angle will get another shot though, I mean he pinned their champion and Angle is a guy who can carry Cena in a match since in my opinion Cena needs a few more years of development before being a champion (Example: His walk, his facial expression and could maybe put more effort into tuning up his moves in the ring so we see more then punches and that weak FU finishing move. The Rock was a good example because every step ever move he made, put him over whether he was face or heel.) but I could see this Angle/Cena fued lasting awhile.

This is usually the time when they start deciding their Wrestlemania matches though and how they're going to build on them, a good example would be Austin vs. Hogan, which would be a horrible match considering Hogan needs someone good to carry him through a match, like Michaels did for him last time by taking all those bumps and Austin has been out of the ring for awhile with his Hollywood career and he still has all those injuries so it would be a sloppy match BUT a huge draw because of their big names.
