@onthisdayinwwe: Saturday Night's Main Event is back - and so is JR He had been fired six months ago to have colon surgery - a procedure mocked by Vince on Raw that left Ross' wife Jan sobbing and “in a total mess" There wasn’t a big build-up to JR’s return - it was mentioned in passing in Stone Cold’s promo on Raw, I think While Jim was off, they hired Joey Styles - a surprise to JR Jerry Lawler told the WWE’s website a few days before the show of his delight that Jim Ross was returning to commentary alongside him: “I couldn’t be more excited... I’m thrilled "It’s not that things have gone badly with [Coachman] and Joey Styles; I think that we’ve improved and gelled as a team "But I also feel that you could never replace the chemistry that JR and I had. It was just a natural, and it’s something that can’t be duplicated" #OnThisDayInWWE @Jerry "The King" Lawler
