Wonder if anybody out there is just like me that puts this on puts my headphones in and just kind of relaxes for a couple hours listening to all this good backstage stuff? Something to wrestle with is awesome!

[@tylercooper2051]

Same here, I start listening to STWW, while just chilling sometimes playing video games, other times when working (as it both makes the work day more enjoyable, along with making the day go by quicker), sometimes I even listen/watch while kicking it with a friend or two and/or my brother (yes he's obviously a friend too no duh lol). I've lately actually been smoking while listening as i'll blaze an L or a bowl/bong cap while. If anyone smokes weed you should do so. Not only does it make the show better in almost every way (stimulates the mind and at least for me allows me to more in depth dive into the topic(s) at hand, also heightens the humorous aspects of the show, among a few other perks smoking while watching/listening brings). Also it is just simply relaxing as fuck lol.

[@ManiacFitness]

Exactly same here i listen when i lay down and it helps me fall asleep! This one and the Cornette experience are great . Grillin JR is great too but there's an add every 2 min and after the first few times its hard to listen when i have to keep hitting skip

[@TheeCoachg]

Same. I stopped watching in 02 tho so thats probably why

[@booty121212]

It's just gets boring talking about matches. Half the time they end up doing a mini "profile " on a wrestler anyway so why not just do a full profile on a guy like Booker t or the road warriors for exmaple.

The only good part about this insomnia. Is listening to this. Thanks Guys. :-) I love Good Ol' JR.

[@ChuckImania]

when I was a kid I remember one week I had bad pink eye... couldn't watch TV... but Jim Ross & The King did such good play by play it didn't matter. A lot of pro wrestlers owe a lot to JR for making them legends.

[@garypearce34]

Thank you for a very interesting and entertaining episode. Spot on 👍

[@jasonbattaglia2390]

What a great episode, i listen to em all but this one was jus good work done by both compelling stories, no ads, jus good ole JR!!

[@cobaltss50]

I had the WWF soundtrack as a kid and I remember when the ManKind song came on and he started talking about being a freak and a monstrosity having scars on his body and him doing a scream . Then the music was sad but soft and he started crying and say mom I'm coming home. That song always gave me chills the way he could deliver word's very powerful stuff.

[@franklintonietti753]

Of course, This is such a great pod cast,love the pace ,the details the interaction between the hosts ,the story's and it's done devoid of all the over top screaming and unnecessary antics

Jim Ross’s call of Hell in a Cell isn’t just one the most famous wrestling calls, it’s one of the most famous play by play quotes of recent memory. Even lots of non-wrestling fans can quote “BAH GAWD!” and “HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!”

Bruce Prichard Is 😂 His Jim Ross Impressions He Said Well Ion Kno If He Gone Stick Around

[@nickh7626]

I don't follow the WWE on a weekly basis but I have been listening to these podcasts and I can see how Jim Ross could be difficult to work around. Especially with the business focusing more on "entertainment" aspect rather than say Jim's "NCAA 4-sport star athlete" approach. But just hearing Jim on the air here, i couldn't imagine how he would be behind the scenes. He got too big for his boots?

[@warrenrod7549]

[@pikkon899]

[@TheeCoachg]

These bio episodes are the core of STWW. This one reminded me of Cornette,Bischoff,Russo,Mr Perfect etc Id love a Sherri Martel episode.

[@josephboza7448]

This was a great podcast. JR had a 26 year relationsihp with WWE full of ups and downs. Dr. Heiney I think rubbed people the wrong way cause that was the last image we had. IF it was at the halfway point or in the beginning, it wouldnt have the backlash that it did. Fans will always remember 1998-2008 of WWE as JR and King calling some of the best moments and their chemistry. The fans didn't want to look at JR as a heel. Let's be real. When he made Cole sing the star spangled banner, the fans cheered instead of booing.

[@jasondouglas152]

I originally started listening to this pod cast about a year ago because I thought Conrad was JR

[@justinblair3263]

Lol me too man.

[@jasondouglas152]

[@jacobyellesbury5880]

Jim Ross is arguably the greatest wrestling play by play commentator of all time. It’s a shame that the WWE always made him the brunt of ridiculous story lines. They got the job done (making us hate whoever was attacking JR at the time, verbally or physically). However, I just never had any interest in him being involved in story lines. The Monday’s without JR have turned bland and boring, with the exception of Graves. Michael Cole can’t hold Jim Ross’s jock let alone his seat. Why someone ever thought Cole would make a great lead commentator is beyond me. Anyway, thank you for the countless memories JR. I plan to watch AEW just to hear you back at it. We’re forever grateful!

[@MrGHansen77]

Cole's lips are firmly planted on someone's ass, cause he's the drizzly shit's

[@senshix]

@@MrGHansen77 honestly from everything ive read from lots of people cole just dies every single thing asked even if its wrong he wont stand up for himself in anyway. Hes basically a robot thats why hes where he is. Has zero opinions and he just repeats what hes told verbatim. Basically hes spineless. He also does alot of work quantity kver quality. The amount if stuff he does on raw even ross says he wouldnt be able to do from pushing sponsors and vinces idea of things. He also produces other announcers and ive seen him in nxt meetings. I hate cole i think even kevin kelly was better but thats why cole is where he is. Id prefer vic joseph or t Phillips honestly...

I was just thinking when he said they were in the training room, I'm surprised Vince didn't make all his guys workout with him and stay in shape. Vince looks like Jack lalane and all the office guys that were with him for years everyday are overweight and flabby.

[@rustykuntz94]

I never cared for Lord Alfred Hayes it felt he ever had a grip on what was going on with the business at any current moment. He butchered guys names and wasn’t just the British thing but would always screw up tag team names calling one guy the others name (see Rockers vs Demolition 1989 match). There was also a creep factor to him, maybe a Jimmy Saville thing, not making any claims just asking questions. Just got that vibe. Also he would drone on and on about a nothing small issue throughout a match while the action was red hot.
