There have been rumors of heat between Jim Ross and Randy Savage since the time the two men had a brief stint together at the commentary booth in WWE. They did commentary together for a few shows in 1993-94. However, the word was that they did not get along well.

Speaking on his podcast Grilling JR, Ross revealed the truth about his equation with Macho Man Randy Savage. JR admitted that he did not get along with Randy Savage and said that even though The Macho Man was very talented inside the ring, he had major trust issues:

“Randy and I did not get along well, but neither of us went out of our way to embellish that emotion,” he said. “I’ve always said he was an amazingly talented in-ring performer, and he was. Really, really good, but Randy’s issue was he didn’t trust anybody,” said Ross.

Randy Savage is a two-time WWE Champion and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015, four years after he passed away due to a heart attack.
