WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross had a very interesting prospective when it came to WWE paying the women who were not allowed to wrestle at The Greatest Royal Rumble.
During his latest podcast, Jim Ross discussed his Greatest Royal Rumble experience and went into detail about the controversy surrounding the women of WWE not being allowed to compete.
“I don’t know why it would be that way. It’s not everybody’s right to be on any card. You earn your right to be on the card. And the women have done a phenomenal job and I am as big a supporter of women’s athletics in general, hey I’m a season ticket holder to the OU women’s basketball games. I’m a big fan of the OU women’s softball team who are defending national champions. So I’m a big fan.
“But I believe the same thing as I do about WrestleMania. It’s not your birthright to be booked. It’s like playing in the Super Bowl. It’s not your right as an NFL player you earn that right to get in that game. So I believe the women, I don’t know if they were paid or not. I don’t know why they would have been paid and I may piss some people off but I’m just being honest. It’s my problem I have sometimes, being honest.”
