New TNA lead announcer Josh Mathews took to Twitter to slam WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross for Ross making some seemingly innocuous comments about the UFC making a smart programming move by positioning last night’s UFC Fight Night card after the NFL championship games. You can check out the exchange below:
Jim Ross
#UFCBoston @FOXSports1 @ufc ‘won’ tonight while battling @nfl playoffs. Excellent idea..
Josh Mathews
Why anyone would say @ufc “won” the night over @nfl is beyond me. Please, stop. It’s not a fair fight. If you are over 60, just go away.
Jim Ross
@realjoshmathews @ufc @nfl … That’s a little stiff re: my remark. I’m over 60 & not going away. Didn’t expect this from you.
Josh Mathews
.@JRsBBQ It was stiff, I get that. Sometimes you gotta call it like you see it.
Josh Mathews
After 13 years I get to be open & express what I’m thinking via @twitter. Backlash is expected & understandable, but I’m speaking my mind.
Jim Ross
Anyone who thinks I meant @NFL is less than @UFC when j said UFC ‘won’ Sun NITE is ignorant. UFC Programming experiment worked. @NFL=Big Dog
