WWE News: Jim Ross comments on Chris Jericho's suspension

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross appeared on Sports Talk 1400 in Norman, Oklahoma on Friday and the subject of Chris Jericho's indefinite suspension from WWE came up. "He was playing the part of a wrestling villain in an entertainment based entity," Ross said.

"It's not like he was at a sporting event like soccer and disrespected the flag, but rules are rules and they have strict rules regarding the flag in their company... He's playing a character, did an ad lib, and unfortunately he stepped over the line for the local culture, so he's been suspended indefinitely and hopefully it will work out." It's possible that Ross's appearance will end up in the podcast section at Sportstalk1400.com/listen-live/.

Powell's POV: Ross noted that he thinks WWE did the right thing by respecting the country and its rules, but hopes it blows over. He also noted that he's read online reports that indicate that the fans were not offended, just as we had on the site earlier today.
