Why things have apparently cooled off

Though the draft decision to move Jim Ross to SmackDown! received negative feedback from many within WWE and a negative web posting from the announcer himself, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that any heat has cooled down.

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon assured Jim Ross that the move was in response to WWE's plan to make SmackDown! more of a priority. The fact that Triple H was moved to the Friday show adds credibility to that notion.

McMahon also explained to Ross that sacrifices need to be made for the team; he gave away millions of dollars and then risked his life in a stunt for the good of WWE RAW.

Regarding Ross' statement that he will not do post-production in Stamford, sources say a telecommunications line will be added to Ross' home, allowing him to make any play-by-play edits without heading to WWE's studio.
