WWE LEGEND JIM ROSS
COUNT ME OUT ... I'M RETIRING
BREAKING NEWS0911_jim_ross_getty2
WWE Hall-of-Fame announcer Jim Ross -- the voice of the organization for two decades -- has decided to hang up his microphone and retire, so says the WWE.
Ross called some of the biggest matches in WWE history -- including Stone Cold's epic battles with Vince McMahon, the rise of The Rock ... and the famous "Hell In a Cell' match when Undertaker launched Mick Foley through a table from the top of a steel cage.
But Ross didn't just do the play-by-play -- he also came up with some pretty iconic wrestling nicknames ... referring to Stone Cold Steve Austin as the "Texas Rattlesnake" and Triple H as the "Cerebral Assassin."
He was also famous for shouting phrases like "By god, that man has a family" when wrestlers were getting their asses kicked in the ring.
According to the WWE, Ross wants to spend more time focusing on his "personal business endeavors" -- and by that, we're guessing he means his growing BBQ sauce company.
For the record, it's delicious ... but JR, you'll be missed.
