Jim Ross’s heel turn in 1996

By Scott Keith on 18 May 2019


Was there ever a planned endgame to turning Jim Ross heel in 1996 and having him bring in fake Diesel and fake Razor Ramon, or was this just another case of Vince fucking with J.R. because he liked to? It seemed they wanted to do their own low-rent nWo type invasion, then backed away from it.

The whole fake Razor and Diesel thing never was intended to have any particular endgame, as they were only around to demonstrate that Titan Sports was still using the intellectual property that they claimed WCW stole. Once that was done, there was no purpose in having them around. So my guess would be Vince just likes fucking with JR.
