Apparently, according to this article, Jim Ross got angry after having some technical difficulties during his talk at a high school...& it made me think of exactly something that "Angry Jim" would do:

Although it says that JR denies it, Angry Jim has responded to this on his Twitter saying: "There's an article about me which is BS!...I didn't say "believe yourself" I said "Go **** yourself!" The rest is true!"
So RD & Blade. If Angry Jim calls the show, can you ask him about this incident?

I'm from Westville, OK, a town of about 1,000 people whose only claim to fame is being the birthplace of Jim Ross, also known as Good Ol' JR. It's a very rare thing for him to actually come back to town, and when he does, he's usually visiting family and keeps his visit private. However, the year after I graduated from high school, the school superintendent got in touch with his family and asked if he would come speak to the students. Because of the size of our school auditorium, and it being a K-12 school, every assembly is basically conducted twice, once for elementary and then again for high school. I was working as a substitute at the time, so I was at the assembly for the elementary students.
JR comes out to huge cheers from the crowd, of course, and starts his canned "believe in yourself" speech. Our school didn't exactly have the best AV equipment, and during the speech, the audio started to cut out. He immediately began cursing, loudly enough that everyone could hear (the students are seated so that the youngest are up front), about how the "goddamn school" and it's "piece of shit" equipment were "wasting my goddamn time," pretending to do it under his breath. They got the mic working and he spoke for about another minute or so before leaving the stage, and we could still hear him backstage, telling the administration the one assembly was enough and that "I'm getting the hell out of here right now."
[Ed note: Jim Ross calls this story a "total fabrication."]
