Sure im not the only one to say this but, good old JR and Jerry Lawler were the voices of my childhood never missed an episode of raw and wouldn't have been the same without you thanks JR!

[@LarryLoudPack204]

Thank you for everything over the years jim best commentator ever

[@ZOMBIE_STOMP]

Imagine JR dressed like goldust 😂

[@mackdontpayforstrange3207]

I lost it when Red Ass Jr made an appearance when Conrad brought up the bulldog move 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏽

[@edhelme2445]

Goldust was amazing

[@JstarJoker1]

Stardust left chat

[@TheBaitShopGuy]

It's cool how some of Dustys kids made it in wrestling where guys like Verne Gagne, Bruno Sanmartino has kids that didn't make it far in pro wrestling.

[@ameliastencil6058]

Let's not forget the amazing David Flair😂 I actually felt bad for that guy

[@eddie9244]

Skip to 19:55 !

[@rickkoch8316]

JR hardly remember Chris Adam’s but I agree with what you said. NO EXCUSE for putting hands on women! Great episode

[@matthewgabbard6415]

He was a very troubled person, who died the way he lived. In a fight over nothing. Some people just do not need to drink, it affects them in a way that puts everyone around them in danger.

[@brianpowers3742]

Love JR!! Seems like when he and King did the call, I was longing for The Golden Age’. I didn’t realize how good I had it until 2017-2018…. Great to hear JR calling the main event last night. He is so good. ..

[@reichspector2413]

I remember when JR said Goldust couldn't carry a tune with a bucket 😂

[@RobClooney]

Great episode. I can't wait for the follow-to to Dustin's career. Question: What was the difference between the locker room's perception of Dustin and Erik Watts? It seems like Dustin had much more respect than Watts, and I was wondering as to why the disparity? Surprised OJ's recent passing wasn't briefly mentioned, but I can understand wanting to breeze through any mentions.

[@jakobschmidt2152]

Conrad: I will save you money as an accountant Also Conrad: Rocketmoney saved me $1000 a year in expenses I had NO IDEA about. Oops!

[@eddie9244]

Goldust made me uncomfortable, he debuted when I was 10 years old

[@FLORIDA_DAN]

Mariano Rivera, exclusively threw a Cutter.

[@d-mo733]

Yup! All he threw and still got batters out! My Marlins kicked their asses in the 2003 Series tho! Will never forget beating them in their own house. Amazing moment, but yea, Rivera was a beast!

[@TimL86Roe]

Jr one of the best to do it

[@ryanpatrick3284]

I want to see more Dustin on AEW.

[@TheNYJets15]

Skip the entire show and watch the scrum…that’s the entertainment

[@MikeyP1983]

Look at JR schilling his book from his bed lol

[@drewlooksatmeifakeasmile]

I want goldust back.

[@lb2.0.45]

Damn red ass JR is on display in this episode for some reason.

[@edmann1820]

The white Bronco story surprised me. There's a lot of bad can be said about McMahon, a lot. But that was an unnecessary act of kindness he didn't need to do.

[@TheTimMalcolm]

is JR ok? im worried about him

[@unknownkingdom]

No things are bad

[@bobbyjohnson9409]

He’s old as shit. Poor guy been through alot of health issues. Forgetting what he’s talking about 😢

[@curtisburgdrof8618]

Dustin Runnels aka gold dust should least won WWF heavyweight champion more once period he was great perform and should WCW world heavyweight champion too .

[@TheChadxiii]

People in the comments showering jr with love meanwhile conrad remains ignored as he should be lol

[@DUFFYISBACK]

Was goldust a world famous movie director?

[@AmongGangstas]

46:25 Story actually begins 🙄

[@DUFFYISBACK]

wow goldust is 6'6

[@maineventmafia7181]

Stone Cold a woman beater to.

[@Cblumberg89]

This video made me lose respect for JR

[@ghost_tom_joad8530]

How come?

[@MikeyP1983]

I have less respect for him than I used to , as I got to see the real guy I realised I don't really like him , he has awesome taste in music his fave band are the same as mine(Eagles) so he has amazing taste in music which I respect him highly for so massive respect for that but on some other levels , nah less and less respect

[@ghost_tom_joad8530]

@@MikeyP1983 That was specific 🙄

[@MikeyP1983]

I love Stone Cold Steve Austin he is THE GOAT my all time favourite without a doubt so no knock on him at all it is about Jim Ross he hates on guys like The Ultimate Warrior and Chris Adams and their treatment of females yet Steve Austin has a well publicised bad history with females and Ross seems to have no issues with that,it just goes to show how people's morals/principles are flexible depending on who the person is and what their feelings are about the person to begin with, Jim Ross is hypocritical,sanctimonious ,poe faced etc

[@Cblumberg89]

@@ghost_tom_joad8530 refusal to acknowledge when things are screwed up simply because Tony Khan's checks don't bounce. As critical of "Dark side of the Ring: plane ride from Hell" he was about inaccuracies, you'd think he'd be more forthcoming. Forthcoming about what an imbecilic move it was to show, on network television, punk handling Little Boy Perry. Jr will continue to Tarnish his legacy with public statements contradicting all the wisdom a man with his tenure SHOULD speak.b

[@softwarephil1709]

Anyone who likes Goldust needs therapy.

[@portapotty69]

Dustin is my favorite wrestler. Period. Cody's nice, but for my money, Dustin is my favorite. Hope we can call him heavyweight champ one day.

[@Kay_Fabe]

So you're honestly telling me as Good'Ol Jr., that Strickland, Okada, and Oceanspray would have survived during the Bill Watts era? The Jim Crockett era? What a bunch of bullshit. Dick Murdoch would wipe the floor with them. What a delusional fan base

[@mightyknight]

Absolutely. Do bear in mind that JR can't currently speak negatively about AEW given that he's employed by them.

[@KickYourFace10]

Whoa whoa, did Conrad say Survivor Series 1995 was one of the worst PPVs ever or was that a Meltzer line?

[@johnlancaster4229]

It might not be one of the "worst ever" but, outside of Bret/Nash it wasn't all that good.

[@KickYourFace10]

@@johnlancaster4229 Opener was hot and probably the best opener to a WWF PPV ever (save Bret/Owen WM X) up to that point. Wild Card Match was fun and it was also fun seeing all the joshis in a WWF ring. It was far from one of the worst ever. You also had Mr. Perfect’s debut on commentary. It was just a really fun show all around.

[@hardkoregamer1981]

I just love how Dustin under his Gold Dust character could get other pro wrestlers to break character 😆

[@wrestlingcommunity]

Mariano Rivera is the Yankee Pitcher you’re thinking of

I see there a few YT silver play buttons coming down the pipe for a few podcasts
