I listen to this show weekly. My man JR, with all he's going through, still sharp, lucid and hilarious. God bless. Much love!

[@ciaranmurren]

What episode did you listen too??

[@markl5998]

Hearing JR say "gangster lean" and "ya dig?" Priceless çomedy

[@cgKillerWhale]

Anything Steve Austin, "Oh hell yeah!"

[@Tasiturne]

Start at 4:32

[@Extreme4LYF]

Bret also says that he went to Vince and asked him to bring in Austin when he was in ECW

[@meld1817]

Austin b4 the huge pops was awesome to watch

[@tommyk9844]

Get well JR. Ive listened to you broadcast since the mid 1980's. I say this with all honesty and respect, you are the greatest wrestling announcer, commentator, voice, in the history of the business. Solie was great, Tony is great, but no one is even close to you.

[@misterhiggledypiggle]

Great podcast guys, this is still one of my favourite eras. Also get well soon JR!

[@InstagramAWrestlingHistorian]

Chilly McFreeze! 😂

[@Rschr101]

Fang McFrost!

[@dan223344556677]

Ice Dagger!

[@Rschr101]

The GOAT

[@Straightprimo]

Talking bout that gangsta lean! 🔥🔥🔥

[@KaitoRyuga]

No one can ever beat the promo of the Whining SOB 96-97 Austin.

[@lcannonplo4411]

Nob

[@mattysquizzato7094]

Sure they can; Whining SOB Bret Hart. HUGHHHHH!

[@mikeypitt8315]

Bret was the whiner not Austin

[@andrewfuller881]

I came for grilling with JR and stayed for the ads.

[@_flyinlion_8995]

No lie its tough to not recognize the drastic change in his voice

[@brainhakker7133]

God Bless him, because That stuff is poison and it's Brutal AF on those in their 20's , let alone those in their 70's .

[@danieleastridge2365]

Prayers for you JR

[@jamiemckell34]

Thanks JR, for being an inspiration.. I needed it today

[@Trapamura]

LOVE YOU JR DEADASS!!!!!

[@dazlafrmthaHX5]

Love you jim you have been in my life for 30 years ish, wrestlemania 9 thank you for everything heres too plenty more years f your passion filled play by play

[@Leaf-CS2]

Favourite commentator of all time started watching wwf in 1998 what a time to start watching hey :) Stay Strong

[@fishhookism]

Austin is the one that really destroyed the heel vs. babyface concept. He became the anti-establishment vs. corporate America.

[@hellohell77]

Isn't that the ultimate babyface vs heel program? I just think because Austin also did a few heel things, people called him an anti-hero. But by 98, he was a face character. People get too caught up on what faces and heels should be and how they should act. If you're getting booed you're a heel, cheered a face. That's how I see it.

[@Tasiturne]

Keep fighting jr !

[@dutchboi2425]

J.r you are important to us too big bro💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾...best wishes and an abundance of health wealth qnd prosperity ..keep on keepin on

[@delbertprince5302]

Great Speech Jim Ross about the finance of wrestling…..

[@heftyhugh9086]

We love you, JR.

[@delbertprince5302]

Preach Jim Ross about Stone Cold Steve Austin….There are a lot of Stone Cold Steve Austin fans however nobody don’t know Stone Cold Steve Austin struggles to succeed.

[@TylerMorganShow]

Fantastic episode

[@ThunderLips730]

Great episode, fellers

[@jiggyjaguar]

Thank god it’s Conrad and not that clown pail bromeliads

[@Stagetwothroatcancer]

I hate that guy!

[@reavravenhurst587]

Thanks for the amazing wrestling J.R. Good luck and God speed.

[@chrisortiz8072]

Without austin giving the rock and hhh a bigger spotlight I dont see them getting as over. The fueds he has with these guys elevated them. Even Mick Foley to a degree through his evolution process

[@Rschr101]

Austin opened the door for all 3 of those guys to get worldwide exposure. Foley put his body on the line to get HHH and especially Rocky over.

[@bobbbobb4663]

savewithCONrad

[@FallicIdol]

Beat of luck in your recovery, JR

[@richardwakefield3178]

I’m painted in bright WWE colours, but JR is the one guy I wish we still had on our team.

[@zanrosscooper8344]

Austin promos were classic funny but the one he did talking about how he was supposed to get the us title and all that ish never happen…just great

[@joedavidson6556]

Conrad back for the save this time. Hopefully the Paul push has come to an end.

[@daviddorf]

JR, people have been through worst stuff than you BUT what you are going through is still difficult. Praying for you! Merry Christmas. :-)

[@TheJokerman321]

Lol dont down play his cancer dude, like wtf of course other people go through worse shit thats the way of the world

[@ZERODIS0]

dude good luck and it would be a great birthday present to know that you will be cancer free and hopefully on AEW

[@hellohell77]

Didn't Austin use the million dollar dream move in WCW sometimes? I could've sworn I saw a couple clips where he used it there.

[@genxtasy9914]

Finally, Conrad and a topic I truly care about.

[@jamesreding6336]

Good luck get better we got our wight Christmas in Tacoma Washington in last hour of the day 1 inch

[@Upsross1970]

They’re literally grilling JR..

[@GodyP]

Lol Buzz cut Austin kinda looked like human bender

[@djmeduna2009]

[@brainhakker7133]

Oh Yeah ?

[@squinteastwood4637]

[@adamdavis1737]

[@brainhakker7133]

Boo !! Boo to your Lame Ass attempt at a Joke !! Oh, hope u had a good Christmas .... I'm not the Damned DEVIL after all >_

[@squinteastwood4637]

You just mindfucked me lol

[@robertkelly8559]

This is fine. JR is cognizant and logical. No one is taking advantage of a rambling old man. I am glad this happens every week.

[@PookieBanton87]

Gangster lean 😂😂😂😂😂

[@billybadass3056]

Ted w/Terry was a way better combo imo.... just saying

[@wrestlingtapes2036]

Bret made Austin

[@danielescalera6638]

Steve bloody in the sharpshooter is such a memorable visual that you just didn't see back then and such a well done moment

[@williamchristopher5653]

He helped. He didn't make him

[@duanetriebel3055]

I pray you will be healed in Jesus name!!! Amen!!!

[@clintondaugomah8185]

BOOMER SOONER BAY BAY..

[@angeliaoswalt3510]

You sir,need to be thanking the Lord for his healing hands upon you're body removing the cancer. Instead of you using his name in vane. You should ashamed of yourself.

[@ciaranmurren]

One of the worst episodes. Jim couldn't stay on topic for one question. If you cut out all the non SCSA stuff this would be 30 minutes.

[@mikeypitt8315]

Thing is Ross is such a waffler it is so frustrating when he goes off topic just waffling and the listener is waiting for him to get to the point and back onto the subject

[@88smjls]

Lies Michael Jordan made being bald and goatee popular.
