JR's Blog: JR's Apology regarding Ross Report remarks on the Snuka/Argentino matter.
Posted: Jan 25th 2017 By: Jim Ross
Thanks for stopping by our site and I invite you to bookmark us and visit often. A terrific Ross Report podcast drops tonight at 9 ET/6PT with WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley joining me along with a special 'drive by' appearance by Matt Striker with some big news to share. Join us here on the homepage of this site to hear the show or visit www.podcatone.com and iTunes. We sincerely appreciate your support.
First things first, I have apparently upset some folks with my remarks about WWE recognizing the memory of the late Jimmy Snuka on their broadcasts and, more specifically, my inadvertently flippant remarks about the 'Oliver Stone" types who chose to seemingly disregard the opportunity of the children and grandchildren of Jimmy Snuka to grieve for the loss of their family patriarch.
In no way did i mean to disrespect the Argentino family for their loss of their daughter/sister Nancy in 1983. That was certainly not my intent. My thoughts were strictly on the children and grandchildren of Snuka which in hindsight was not equitable considering the extraordinary circumstances of this matter.
My apologies to anyone affected by my remarks especially the family of the late, Nancy Argentino.
I hope that anyone who knows me realizes that me intentionally hurting others is simply not my style, however, my comments made on the Ross Report were mine and I take ownership and responsibility for them in their entirety. Again, I regret how my remarks were taken especially as it relates to the feelings of the Argentino family.
Thanks.
