Sting Wants Jim Ross To Call His Last Match
Sting appeared on Jim Ross’ podcast The Ross Report recently to talk about his career winding down.
During the conversation Jim Ross said that there was a very short list of names that he’d want to come back to call their last match. He told Sting that his name was on the list. Sting let him know that he felt the same way.
“The feeling is mutual,” Sting said. “If I could have anyone on the face of this Earth to call my last match, it would be Jim Ross. If I get my way, if I get what I want, that’s what’s going to happen.”
Ross then joked that he was available and works cheap.
“You can’t say ‘the young kid from Venice Beach’ anymore, though. You’ll have to be more creative,” Sting joked.
Jim Ross hasn’t called a match for WWE since January 2013.

Former WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Lisa Marie Varon (Victoria, Tara) talked about her time in TNA recently on Jim Ross’s The Ross Report podcast. Varon said TNA was so disorganized that once she learned about being booked for a pay-per-view by reading the announcement on Twitter but still had no travel information and hadn’t even been told about the booking.
Varon, who owns The Square Circle pizza restaurant in Chicago, talked about how she once spent $6,000 of her own money to promote a TNA event in Chicago. She did a lot of promotion for the show, without being asked to, and wasn’t happy when TNA sent her posters for the show that featured another Knockout instead of Varo, a local celebrity. Varon says she talked with Dixie Carter about all she did to help the company and all Dixie had to say was, “Yeah, I heard.”
Varon also talked about how two people in the TNA office sent out an e-mail to the roster telling them to promote another pizza place in Chicago as the best pizza they have ever had. Varon found out about it and blew up at TNA’s Bruce Prichard. She told Prichard, “The day I quit my job, I am going to punch that c**T in the face.” The threat was was referring to Dixie and Varon said Prichard responded, “You’ll be doing all of us a favor.”
