His ability to make heel characters look legitimately like violent criminals is my favorite part of him. JR is the GOAT of commentary.

"Why, Triple H? Why? Why did you do this heinous act, you emotionless sunuvabitch?"

My wife and I just watched this and she said to me "Jesus, is his life just the Book of Job?"....poor bastard has been through so much misery and tragedy over the years... and given the world of wrestling so much at the same time. An absolute legend, I hope he knows how much we all love him. Love the channel Andy! Keep up the great work. Would love to see you do a video on Jim Johnston's iconic work for WWE theme songs in the future.

[@TehJew22]

He went through Hell before he made it to Heaven in a sense.

[@mikeroagreschen5350]

Jim Johnston is a great idea for a video. Another guy who made incredible contributions to the WWE... and then got fired.

[@megamanxhunter]

@@mikeroagreschen5350 it still pisses me off how jim johnston got fired by wwe, like a nobody, no public thanks for his contributions.

Without a voice of Jim Ross, WWE will never be the same again.

At least we can see and hear him over at AEW 😢

[@iamdevilboy5976]

Nobody can’t touch him, truly one of a kind announcer

[@codyglassco6664]

"Omg he's broken in half" "Stone Cold Stone Cold" loved JR he's had so many iconic calls.

[@mikeroagreschen5350]

Jim Ross is a great story of how hard work, dedication, and loyalty are rewarded with getting stabbed in the back, mocked, and fired.

[@zemox2534]

And yet, mindless fans will continue to watch wwe and praise Vince. If they had any respect for JR and all the other people Vince has f over, they boycott wwe and stop giving them money

[@commanderjoj6426]

As Cody Rhodes said asked why AEW wanted JR, all he said was “ Because he’s Jim Fuckin’ Ross!” As an Oklahoma kid, I got to hear JR early on in Mid South, and have followed him ever since. His voice has punctuated so many legendary matches over the past 40+ years, and I hope the ol Okie’s got 40 more in him.

[@jakedo4577]

His voice, his feelings, his one-liners and his good ol cowboy hat is what make him a legend. This man voice is as iconic to other legends from other sports like John Madden, Harry Carray. His voice was the reason why I watch pro wrestling. Nothing but love and respect to good ol JR.

[@abrhmvlya]

Definitely the GOAT of professional rassling commentary... "RUNNING LIKE A SCOLDED DOG", "A SLOBBER KNOCKER"

[@FaysalIsGoated]

NOBODY can hype up a wrestling segment/match like JR can. NOBODY.

[@edenromanov]

Jim Ross is the Voice of Wrestling as far as I'm concerned, I didn't realize how rough the man has had it, just goes to show how strong of a man he is, I hope he'll stay with us for years to come!

[@Tht1kidYouKnw]

JR is the voice of wrestling. I'm glad I grew up listening to his commantary. There will never be another commentator like him ever again.

[@shiryu7]

I'll always remember Ross for his early commentary work for NWA/WCW. Pure gold. He'd suck you right in with his words and make every match he'd call meaningful. My absolute factorite pairing was him with "The Body" Jessie Ventura.

[@kevinpayton2664]

He was great in JCP/WCW. I still can hear screaming "Barry, no!" when Barry Windham turned heel and joined the Horsemen in 1988.

[@Pensfan5919]

My favorite JR call is from WCW, "SIMMONS WON THE TITLE!!! Ron Simmons just won the World's Heavyweight Title!!!"

[@kevinpayton2664]

I didn't think much of Jim Ross when I watched Mid-South/UWF in the 1980s. It was until he was in WCW when I realized how good he was as a commentator. His time in WWE is what made him a legend.

[@jasonmartinson7758]

BAH GOD! He is truthfully the best there is/was/ever will be in the announcers world!

[@joestone2579]

His and Lawlers voice was my childhood.🤘 So many classic sayings. He's truly the goat!

[@jw6113]

JR doesn't want know what's going to happen during the matches, who is going to win or loose. That way all of his reactions while announcing are genuine. That's why he is such a great announcer

[@brianpeeler3486]

As a young kid watching wwe/wwf with my grandfather JRs voice is all I knew and it wouldn’t had been what it was without him and the king every Monday

[@househeadspeakz]

Jim Ross is the Tom Brady of Wrestling commentators. No one has done better before and since. I'm so glad he found a place in AEW!

[@zsmarine0831]

JR is a GD legend in the business and life, I can’t describe how great my childhood years of watching wrestling were. And his use specific words helped me understand their definition without ever looking them up before. JR is an amazing person, long live the king.

[@joedillihunt]

the absolute voice of wrestling and part of my childhood 💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 JR is the king of commentary!!!

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

Greatest wrestling commentator of all time, hands down. I LOVE this man.

[@sandman2898]

J.R is definitely the GOAT of the booth I was born in '86 I remember watching WCW Saturday night with my grandma in 1990 - 1991 and hearing Jim Ross call matches..the good days

[@Omnamahshivay8079]

What a lovely video this is. We all knew JR as the commentator, but seeing the many hats he wore and the work he did , he truly is an amazing talent. And to see , ol Vince mistreat his employees again as commodities is truly sickening. I just truly, hope the fear of competition from AEW and NJPW , makes Vince treat his talent better.

[@wordlifejohn1122]

Jim Ross is voice of wrestling. Still going strong to this day.

[@jmendoza2003]

Jim Ross is the greatest Wrestling Announcer of all time. At live Raw show on television after the show was over Jr and king hanging around ringside still I reached to JR hand and he shaked it. He truly care his fans.

[@rickjames2.0]

I was a regular caller for Jim's radio show back in the day. I remember he ran the main event of Wrestlemania 9 on his show that was unprecedented at the time

[@jordankennedy3938]

JR is THE BEST commentator of all time many have tried to be Good Ole JR but there is nobody close to JR on commentary nobody will ever be better than JR he is a commentary god a legend

[@chadczternastek]

I've become with years of maturing and evolving, and gaining much wisdom, to easily say JR is the legend of wrestling. He evolved, works, and works, his mind is able to process all aspects of it, his opinions are always right. Listen to his takes on things sometimes on his podcasts, him being himself, the way he words things. Best was recently when he was responding to how he was edited on Dark Side Of The Ring. I noticed they would use clips where he was going dark, when he wasn't. He basically called them out and in my opinion, warned them he would never do their show. The way he worded it was pretty impressive.

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

No matter the time, JR will be always THE GOAT of pro wrestling commentary.

[@AbsoluteChad69]

Facts

[@jamesgolder373]

He was and still is the greatest announcer ever on wrestling legend and the absolute best growing up in the attitude era he just made it feel like the wrestling the rivalries the hatred and the storylines were real......attitude era was the greatest time to be wrestling fan as a teenager and Jim Ross was as big a star as the wrestlers

[@jernigan007]

THE voice of my generation

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

No one could touch JR until he started Phoning it in 98-Onwards. Seriously he was so knowledgeable and informative,got matches over well helped tell the story in the ring to us fans at home other than the usual stuff.

[@crazyangst12]

My dream commentators is JR and Mauro Ranallo. They can make a match feel like a once in a lifetime.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

JR was great and had a legendary run, i still say the Heenan's performance for the 1992 Royal Rumble was the greatest of all time though...as a kid it didn't get any better than that.

[@TRivera13]

That's two different jobs though. JR was the play by play commentator or the "straight man". Heenan was a color commentator or the "comic relief".

[@mattbryant8320]

It’s amazing that you manage to keep all these around 20 minutes long.

[@TheKyleLC]

I met Jim Ross a few years ago just before Covid hit. He is still the Greatest person in Wrestling I ever met. While everyone wanted to be a wrestler as a kid I always said I wanted to be Jim Ross. Love this man to death.

[@toprope_]

JR and Michael Cole on commentary is a core part of my wrestling memory from 2011-14 when I watched heavily as a kid.

[@leestens419]

My favorite example of JR'S talent is this: When HHH was at the height of his evil ways in 1999-2000 and he broke JR'S arm...you felt JR's legitimate venom towards The Game through his words..yet in 2000 when HHH was teasing a babyface turn for a few weeks before they revealed he was the one responsible for Rikishi hitting Austin with the car, he still managed to convey sympathy towards HHH when Angle was antagonizing his marriage to Stephanie. It was like the broken arm thing never happened. And that was ok

[@daveboone7432]

[@ronaldkhupe7608]

I been asking for this one! One of the greatest to do it on commentary 💯💯

[@shawnlittle9378]

Jim Ross is the reason that wrestling at that time was at the pitimi of its highest point the highs and lows you could always feel a sense of urgency when he was talkin and you believed every word that he said because it was true it was honest and he always called a straight down the middle no matter what he said it was just spectacular extremely phenomenal he is the voice of the voiceless the greatest ever end no one could ever ever duplicate him

[@loudpockets90]

Best time of my life hearing good ol jim ross shout "its Austin it's Austin!!! Or Jack hammer!! Jack hammer!!! Jack hammer slam!!!!

#BROKENINHALF

[@johnnyjohn2527]

He & Jerry Lawler were a superlative announce duo. JR says what he thinks, does what he wants, and doesn't take shit from the wrestling powers that be. He's a gentleman w/ strong conviction and an even stronger constitution, a professional who never got the respect he deserves from that curmudgeon Vince McMahon.

[@SugShane]

JR is not the GOAT. He's the god of wrestling broadcasting. It was an honor when WWE came to Oklahoma I got to meet him twice and signed some of my WWE DVDs

[@eldiablo2044]

The greatest voice in the history of all sports in my opinion. This is coming from someone who growing up if sportscenter wasnt on in the morning the rest of the day was off. Jim made something fake seem mmore real and emotional than real sports

[@TheAtlantaThrasher]

Who cares if he messes up from time to time. We all mess up at work. He can call a DDT a P&J for all I care. It's not like we're listening to this on radio and are taking down historical notes for each match. We got eyes. Dude still does a fantastic job.

[@kevinpayton2664]
