“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.”
