On the latest episode of MLWRadio.com’s MSL & Sullivan show it was reported that Jim Ross had agreed to return to announcing for NJPW on a weekly basis. The host claimed the following:
“Jim Ross is returning to weekly primetime wrestling. I can officially confirm. This is an exclusive for MSL & SULLIVAN that Jim Ross will be the new announcer on the weekly New Japan show on AXS TV. Ross will call the action with Josh Barnett. They’ll be doing the sessions out in L.A. They’ll do a few shows over the course of a day or two. I know that Jim is excited and I’m happy that we can tell the fans about this.”
As much as we would all love to see it happen, Jim Ross shot the report down noting that as of right now he doesn’t have a deal with anyone.
Those telling you that I have a new, wrestling gig are jumping the gun as I have NO done deal w/ anyone.

I know nothing about that & it's simply not accurate. @njpw1972 would have nothing to do w/ it anyway. https://t.co/RF34zFjVcg
