Ross revealed his current career status just one day after an interview between himself and The Masked Man of Grantland.com disclosed that Ross was indeed “pushed” to retire from his 30 year tenure with WWE. Ross admits in the interview that the now infamous “WWE 2K14 Panel” was the primary cause for his release from the company in August of 2013, but that it happened at a good time for him and that he is content with all of the endeavors he is about to engage in.
