The report says that it is effective today, and that Ross plans to pursue other business interests.
Ross still calls Oklahoma home and sells a collection of barbecue sauces, condiments and jerky.
Before being hired by WWE, Ross worked as a referee and all around go-boy in the Mid-South territory, run then by Leroy McGuirk and Bill Watts. It was in Mid-South where he found fame as an announcer.
Later, he moved to the NWA/World Championship Wrestling, where he rose into management and on the booking committee.
Ross was hired by WWE and debuted at WrestleMania in 1993 as an announcer. He eventually was a vice president, in charge of talent relations.
"Jim has made many contributions to WWE and the sports-entertainment industry, and we thank him for his many years of service and wish him well," reads the WWE.com report.
