Why did JR get taken off the WWE announce team? Too old? Too much of a rasslin guy? Too likely to talk about what's going on in the ring than spout a million sales pitches?

Gave a drunk Flair a microphone at a video game event I think.

They still talk about AJ coming back even though he's buried TNA every chance he gets.

He wasn't fired for that until 2014 - he hadn't been a lead announcer for 4 years at that point

He's old and has Bell's Palsy, which would likely explain the lighter workload. Drunken Flair at a Summerslam WWE game event absolutely is why he's gone. He's basically said as much himself, if not outright has. I remember him basically saying it while skirting around the issue to not put his foot in it. He was a fall guy because someone had to take the blame.

It's the classic "if they didn't want to talk about us, they wouldn't badmouth us, therefore they really love us and are coming back" mentality

St Evan Echoes posted:

He'd been off and on from 2010 or 11 on because of another Bell's Palsy attack, and they took him offcamera with one of those dumb heel Cole angles. The Flair thing was the last straw

JR has proven to be pretty hatable. The real reason is Vince ( and realistically he doesn't hate him) but man is JR annoying.

I kind of think given how Vince feels about sneezing, he really doesn't like someone whose face got lazy and stopped working right.

Vince is also obsessed with looks and age. In 2005 when JR was originally dumped, Mike Goldberg was going to be his replacement before friends told him what a terrible idea it would be to jump ship. Also see dropping Howard Finkel for Lillian Garcia, which at the time was like going from 1989 Ric Flair to Tamina

The Vince/JR relationship is just even further proof of why you don't want any kind of relationship with Vince. How he treats his friends is more horrible than most people treat their enemies
