After calling 16 editions of WrestleMania, Jim Ross says Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker was the best WrestleMania match he's called. Ross says his respect for the two veterans on the WWE roster increased ten times after the match.

"Quite simply, it’s a wrestling match I’ll never forget and I’ve seen plenty of them," Ross said on jrsbarbq.com. "I had immense personal respect for both men going into the match but that respect swelled ten fold when this 'instant classic' concluded."

Ross also commented on JBL's retirement after he lost the Intercontinental Title to Rey Mysterio. JBL shot down the idea of him doing WWE TV broadcasting earlier today and Ross confirmed it.

"Sorry to see JBL retire as John and I have a great relationship. I signed John to his first WWE contract over 13 years ago," Ross said. "John has no interest at this time in broadcasting for WWE but working with him would be something that I would truly enjoy."

Regarding the current announcing situation on Smackdown after Tazz's departure from WWE, Ross says he has not been informed who will join him in Austin, Tex. on Tuesday for the post-WrestleMania taping.

"I don’t know who I’m working with Tuesday in Austin on Smackdown but whoever WWE selects is good by me," Ross said. "With the Draft just a week away, I can only assume that whoever it is could be a temporary move any way."
