Through Bell's Palsy and his wife dying, his outlook on life is something to behold. Really miss him on television.
GhostSpectre a lot of us miss JR on TV, maybe he & The King will come back for #RAW25
He still does commentary for AXS TV's coverage of New Japan, if you miss his work. :)
@@Time2LevelUp Sadly he doesn't have the same energy and enthusiasm that he used to, but I guess it's understandable with age. It's great to at least still be able to hear him though.
I do too! I don’t see how Vince thinks we don’t want to see JR!!
At least is back on tv again! Definitely the voice of pro wrestling imo
I'm not even a professional wrestler & I just learned all lot listening to JR... Writers, producers, wrestling talents, scouts, ect need to listen to this.
I was actually at JR’s return after his Bells Palsy incident. It was at a WWF Monday Night Raw show in Detroit, Michigan. No one knew he was set to return that night so it was a pleasant surprise for everyone. He received a standing ovation. The Rock also threw Stone Cold into the Detroit River off of the Belle Isle Bridge that night too lmao. April 12th, 1999.
Jr is a freaking genius when he said you need to make a professional relationship with your boss, not in ass kissing way, but in a way where your boss gets to know you. That will open opportunity for you. Thats some real shit.
Best in the world at what he does -Jim Ross
Ceem Play You're goddamn right.
Jim hasn't hit the best of his personal ability since about 1992, and in their way for their styles Gordon Solie and Lance Russell were just as great. But Jim's legend is deserved, his ability to make these memorable great calls even out of absolutely terrible crap is to be commended. Goes to show not only how good he is but how far the overall quality of live commentary has generally fallen that he stands out as a singular talent even doing far from his best work. I will miss him when he's gone, but his voice will live on!
JR is the GOAT.
He the best in the business.
The JR meme proves it. You can apply his epic calls to literally *anything.*
jim ross voice is equally as good as Howard finkel
Both as well as Mean Gene are so iconic that even non-wrestling fans recognize them
There would be no attitude era if it weren't for the announcing. Thank you JR!
True
Not really. The Attitude era kibda started with Goldust.
@@NintendoPsycho and HBK
@@petershury7135 It can't start with both unless it was at the same time... Lol
Jim Ross understands the business. All the names that he mentioned when asked who he would try to bring in if he was in charge of talent relations again is exactly who I would have said if I were in that role. Maybe some of it is a no brainer, but not everything WWE does is logical.
is a shame most of the persons he mention wouldn't accept work for wwe
I think a directive has come down for Nakamura to "lighten up" his strikes. He barely even hits guys anymore. If he and AJ DO get a Mania match. I have a feeling Aj and him will just go all out and tear the house apart.
MrThundaro That’s so lame. The strikes in WWE look bad enough, the last thing they need is to be lightened up.
DREVM
It means "lighten up" relative to his striking back in Japan.
Nope.
MrThundaro watching his strikes in that last match with aj in japan and now in wwe...its night and day
DREVM Strikes in WWE are bad enough? Obviously haven’t seen Black, Ohno, Hideo, Brock, Rollins and more. You clearly don’t watch.
amazing to see jim ross dealt with anxiety, i deal with anxiety myself.
His voice was my childhood
Jim Ross is a natural treasure
The commentating duo of JR and King is without equal. Nothing more needs to be said.
March of 98 was WM 14, not 15, Sam
JR is the goat at what he does
That is so cool to hear that JR mentored Velveteen Dream, and the teachings show with how awesome Patrick Clark portrays the character.
Damn what a life to be able to get paid doing what you love. #respect
I wish JR wasnt so self concious of his "disgusting face". I dont listen to JR because of looks. Most of the worlds epic announcers and play by play guys have been seniors. It dont matter.
Jaret Wood he actually looks pretty good for what he’s been through and his age.
Jaret Wood when your boss approves various skits that mock you appearance in front of millions you’re probably gonna feel insecure
@@simplyphenomenal solid point
JR and Nigel Mcguinnes would be an amazing team!
Nelson Sanchez takeover chicago
minority420 without Percy dragging them down.
R.I.P. JR's wife 😥
My favorite Jr vkm King moment was when the Hart Foundation reunited and King was crying Vince and Jr was looking at King and he said what y'all looking at as he was wiping his tears
Thanks sam . Really appreciate this . Con from ireland
This is why JR should be THE talent recruiter. He is concerned with great wrestling, not making original talent out of some nobodies that will inevitably get fired.
So Jim Ross is a fan of Sopranos?That's great.
If you listen closely to this interview, you will find so many life lessons. One example of many in this interview is. Be Yourself. Weather a wrestler or a Fast Food worker, be yourself. If you have the ability to be yourself at all cost under all circumstances, life will open up to you. Jim Ross 👍 Never disappoints.
J.R. is probably the best play by play commentator ever, But I don't agree with him about trying to sign Kenny Omega, Okada, and the Young Bucks. They're fine where they're at and have all the creative freedom in the world. WWE would water them down, job them out to homegrown talent, take away their gimmicks or put their own spin on them. The grass isn't always greener...
Collin's Tiki Zone , I agree.
Every Monday, I pray that they don't ruin the Woken Matt gimmick...
The first two are decent but WWE don’t need the Young Bucks, very overrated by most fans.
I really wish WWE would hire JR to travel to every RAW & Smackdown & just be a coach to everything backstage... The talent, the writers, ect.. I think its different than it use to be.. I don't think talent CAN speak up unless you're already on top... Didn't they consider Aries "hard to work with" because he spoke up? If the writers come up with something stupid (which is all the damn time) the talent gets heat for being too hard to work with if they speak up & say "no, I'm not doing that.. Let's do this" or "no, I would never say that.. This is what I would say" ... Then bam, now you have heat.. & I've heard of so many wrestlers who come up with their own ideas of who they are & get turned down every single week... Then once they're gone, their ideas get put to use on someone else.... JTG for instance.... HE came up with the Little Jimmy thing... He just didn't call it "little jimmy" but pretty much that whole gimmick was his... Yet we see who ended up getting to use it & JTG of course didn't get anything but released. So its different than how it was back then & they need a majority influence back there to get shit back right. Grown men can't be grown men back there anymore.
Miko TruStar They need to get real wrestling writers like in the Attitude Era. I know a couple writers and a lot of what they hire are bad comedians and reality tv writers, which is why it feels so stupid and jokey all the time.
Miko TruStar Also this is what you get when there’s no competition in an industry, one (previously amazing) giant taking over and doing whatever the fuck they want because nobody can touch them.
Miko TruStar I think he mentioned before he can’t tolerate the travel anymore,so I don’t think that’s happening unfortunately.
Like an agent? That's a huge demotion considering he was vice president of talent relations when he was at his peak lol!
tujefa1981 I guess it would be talent relations.. But I wouldn't even want him with a title.. Talent relations have restrictions.. I'm talking more of an advisor to EVERYONE.. Like if he see something that he knows is stupid, guide that person or situation, if he see some injustice, guide the situation, talk to Mr. McMahon & help him with the direction of the shows... Do just whatever he sees fit to do with no pressure lol. Like especially if he could talk to Vince & the writers about the talent & their abilities.. Cause its like he has more knowledge of what Nakamura should be doing than they know.. I know he would be able to speak up & let it be known when they are wasting someone's talents.. Its an unrealistic job overall.. That's why I say just pay him to be backstage lol
I had a dream about being a wrestler but then I found out only certain guys are allowed to get up in the WWE system, much less headline WM or winning the Wwe championship... But its okay to watch only what you want.
frank segura dont let anything stop you from following your dreams. Anyone on WWE would say the same.
Sam when JR says Kenny Omega vs okada go look at those matches the mat the best matches outside of WWE
therebelnetwork215 They were the best matches. Full stop.
Jim ross, u are the #1 voice of all wrestling and I don't think anyone cares about how you look all we care about is seeing you and hearing your voice on TV. You are the reason I watched wrestling when I was a kid!!!!!!
"Oh hell yeah, I want a cheeseburger!". Idk why but that part killed me lol 😆. Love JR
Love Jim Ross and yes we need C.M Punk one more run..💪
grew up with Jr the good years of wwf/wwe miss him on the Mic
Jim Ross is the best, awesome interview.
I can listen to JR talk for days on end. Love him
I want his thoughts on gedo's booking
I could listen to his voice all day.
"THEY'VE KILLED HIM! AS GOOD AS MY WITNESS THEY'VE BROKEN HIM IN HALF!"
Great episode!
I feel like I always learn and grow as a person listening to him.
Is there anyone more likable than JR?
Bigbyrd1234 , PUPPIES!
no you don't
Tom Hanks.
JR was right, R vs R would 1 helluva match to watch :)
OmAcC650 JR would probably advocate to call that match
Rilee Parvin lol I wouldn't mind JR reffing that match.
Jr is awesome.
If JR and Mauro Ranallo did a PPV together I think we'd just be listening to them instead of watching the action
I think you get a sense of just how smart JR STILL is about wrestling when he gets asked who would he hire for WWE if he was back running Talent Relations again. No errs, no umms, he instantly right off the top of his head knew exactly who he would be after day one. Even after all these years still sharp and keeping a thumb on the pulse of the business.
The irony of WWE today is that every time they try to make things safer in the ring and more family friendly: people get injured more often and NO-ONE gives a rat's ass about any of the Superstars. Seriously, you could replace them with people from TNA or ROH and the audience would yawn - switch over to football or MMA.
Jr needs to do a book signing in the uk, would love to meet him
No one is better than Good Ol JR Jim Ross
Wish you guys just kept talking, great interview.
Does anyone know where you can find JR's weekly podcast??? They mentioned it around 90 seconds in.
podcasts app on apple devices or google podcast one. its on their site
fgnz0012000 thanks
When JR talking about wrestling outside that Sam like I don't know what the hell you saying I don't know these wrestlers outside my wwe Bubble. this wrestling promotions Sam should check out NJPW & Ring of honor or PWG
He been through some bad times, god bless JR
TWO GOAT's - JR and HBK !!!
HBK is a bitch.
Nintendo Juggalo Shawn is the greatest in ring performer of all time ~ JR , Undertaker etc...
The Don He's still a bitch. No respect here.
Nintendo Juggalo No happy new year for hbk 😔
RebelNick JR and Lawler
Man, Sam is really good interviewer.
19:53 Best advice ever!
Does JR talk about takers match at wrestlemania 33?
J.R needs to get back in to wrestling...he just sounds so much better than everyone on WWE TV today.
Jim Ross is truly a legend! He deserved being in the H.O.F 🤘
I didn't know his wife died that's sad let alone anyone losing a loved one I've always liked Jim Ross I was getting into wrestling in 1992 and just fell in love with wrestling I was 7 years old. We have Vince McMahon and the King on commentary most of the time which was very awesome on the side I can't remember if he was on like Saturday morning shows but I remember before Vince McMahon stop doing commentary it was mainly the king and Vince and Jr was there I remember but anyway all this blabble my point is I grew up listening and watching Jay r and I loved whenever Stone Cold came out that chance and him saying Stone Cold Stone Cold Stone cold over and over and being Jr and Jerry The King Lawler on commentary was golden anyone nowadays doesn't touch Vince McMahon / the king or Jr and the King they are a big part of my life and I recently got back into it I stopped watching wrestling in 2001 and I'm trying to get caught up and I really don't like anything past 2003 if anyone can point me to anything worth watching please do so because I'm a huge fan of Shawn Michaels Bret heart Stone Cold Steve Austin Undertaker I sat behind the ring at WrestleMania VII and it was a something I will never forget anyway I just thought I would share my love of the new generation of wrestling and the Attitude Era which is pretty much 1994 through 2002 or 3 I believe. And wanted to wish Jr the best on his future endeavors and give my condolences to his wife passing sorry about the sloppy typing I used voice typing and It's tricky to insert good punctuation without the keyboard
JR IS TRULY THE GOAT OF COMMENTATORS
Jim Ross #1 We love u
Good ol JR can make something as simple as making a sandwich sound interesting.
Legend
JR just captures you when he speaks.
Jim Ross would be an amazing ventriloquist
itzLCD 😂 SMH...”that’s wrong.”
Happy Birthday Jim Ross!
goodinterview
@Jrsbbq on the twitter
..."sell it like you are going to the electric chair".
Jr is a legend bow down bow down to the king
Best commentator ever
.
Top bloke Is JR
I love J.R
I hope he meant for CM PUNK to get his Mania Main Event that he deserves.
MrThundaro Punk’s had enough big Mania matches, let other, more deserving wrestlers have a go.
Legend ❤️
JR is the GOAT!
Nakamura at 33:38
Wm15 was not 1998
Please god don't take this man away from us anytime soon
Yup, he's the G.O.A.T
1998 was Wrestlemania 14, not 15 Sam.
"Every character should be an extension of themselves'.
You know. The longer I think about it, the less true this statement gets.
Goldust was nothing like Dustin Rhodes.
Mark Calloway is not a supernatural zombie old west undertaker.
Glenn Jacobs is not... whatever Kane is.
These are three of the best characters in the history of the business.
Meanwhile, some of the most INSUFFERABLY BORING characters of the last 20 years - John Cena, Randy Orton, blah blah blah - have been 'extensions of themselves'.
And the ratings just keep going down down down.
jr will piss him self rather then leave a match now thats wrestling brother
please let this guy commentate WK 12
HAPPY RUSEV DAAAAAAAAY!
Even before he was at wwe
Social media has ruined wrestling characters! I'm not sugar coating this subject!
sam is a really good conversationalist and interviewer. if only it had been him instead of conrad...
Million views down to under 50,000. Gotta get these numbas up
I would love to see CM Punk vs Balor
Karl Eaton Cm Punk vs Samoa Joe
will always miss his "GOD ALMIGHTY!!!".......
Pro cool BAH GAWD!!
Pro cool "GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!"*
Pro cool "THATS GOTTA BE KANE!!!".
I'm not trying to be disrespectful to the legend JR, But is something wrong with his face?
You really didn't know?
More deaths in us from automobile accidents ..... tragic
Sooners lost the Rose Bowl in overtime(first time in history).
Hell of a game. That they lost. Just sayin'...
Invite cm punk
March 98..wrestlemania 15?? Haha and Ross didn’t even correct him
Is this Halo music in the intro!? Ffs.
SAMMY BRAN MUFFINS!!!!!
