JR and the King are easily the best announce team I've ever heard in pro wrestling. I dont think we will ever top it.
Arcturus Dunhelm Paul heyman beats king by a long shot
Stl Metro Yes.
Gorilla and Bobby are my all time favorite, but Attitude Era JR and King were great too. I also really liked the brief stint we had with JR and Heyman.
JR and Heyman. ;)
repairmanjack78 Anyone who doubts how great Bobby was (And Gorilla) should watch the 1992 Royal Rumble (at least the match) JR and King are up there though.
Sam Roberts is a great interviewer. Not a dick, doesn't interrupt, very respectful. Like him a lot.
he's a fan. explained Montreal screw job for non fans which at this point I'm amazed how many interviews focus on that match.
+Tyler Durden It's such a hot topic still because that was a terrible thing for Vince to do. He screwed Bret, the man that took and ran with the company flag after Hogan left, despite him saying he didn't want to lose the belt in Canada. Shawn Michaels never would've became the Show Stopper without his feud with Bret, because Bret made him elavate his game to a level nobody else would've been able to do. Even Austin owed a lot of his success with the fans to Bret. His I Quit match against Bret at Wrestlemania 13 was the defining moment of him becoming "the toughest SOB in the business". Refusing to tap to Bret was one of the most iconic moments in wrestling history.
bret screwed bret by taking more money than he deserved and jumping ship to WCW after wwe gave him such a huge push and elevated his career. by MANY backstage accounts, he was a dick, and had a poor attitude. he was a good worker, i'll give him that. but the ONLY reason bret got such a push in the first place is because vince was under so much heat due to the steroid scandal, so they needed to put the belt on a smaller guy that clearly didnt look juiced out of his mind, hence the belt was given to bret. thats why the clique and vince came up with the hbk vs bret angle, two smaller guy that could be champions, completely taking focus off the guys that vince generally (and still) prefers, roided out monsters, lol
@@ryanakahussactually he didn’t jump until his contract wasn’t going to be honoured he wanted to stay and if we want someone to be mad at blame Jim Cornette he’s the one that came up with the finish
JR and Heyman in 2001 is the most underrated announcing partnership ever !
Oh Yeah Heyman Had a Odd Way Like Randy Savage On The Mic At The Table!
England 1966 I agree totall opposites but we’re fantastic
JR and the king was class. Vince and the gorilla was awesome too and loved Bobby heenan aswel.Good Times. WWF/WWE just ain't the same anymore
I don’t know I think Jim Cornett was a great addition to the commentary he has such class and style he’s just great was very good for the business
Nope, JR and Jim Cornette
Great interview! I couldn't have any more respect for Good Ol' Jr. After all of the crap they've done and mistreated him, not to mention the complete bullshit way he was let go, he's still a constant professional. Very classy guy.
Blame ric flair over the summer in the 2k14 panel
JOEL FLSA Not yet, unfortunately. Have you?
Its actually a Godsend JR was released. WWE is a stale sinking ship.
SERIOUSLY JR COME BACK! I NEED YOU DAMMIT!!!
fire Ric Flair instead of Jr
Hahahahhahha damn
You need to love your son, Vince. Bring Shane back into the business. A strong family foundation is what the business depends on.
“JR screwed JR.” - Vince McMahon
@@murraysaucedo897 jrs the excellence of execution
48:10. this is how you know JR is one of the best commentators of all time. 10 seconds to announce Owen has passed and he probably had so many emotions going through him, and he was able to compose himself enough through probable shell shock and sadness to deliver that terrible news as solemnly as possible. It's hard for anyone, let alone commentators, to handle something like that, and the fact that JR found out with 10 seconds before his announcement... Idk how he did it.
He didn't give a shot about Owens, he came to call some naked men touching each other
Gabe Sloan qI I
an hour long interview? this is great.
still not long enough
Ryan M. NEEDS MOAR JR STORIES. Him and Mick Foley would be a fucking blast to hear together.
BTW my favorite Jim Ross call of all time was when HHH returned and clobbered Austin in the head with a lead pipe and cost him, "the WWF BAH-GAWD TITLE!" followed by "DAMN YOUR SOUL TRIPLE H. DAMN YOU!"
JR was not only the best voice of WWF/E but he was also the heart and soul IMO. I dont think any commentator will ever be better...
100%. JR is the best to ever do it and there isn't a remotely close 2nd.
I miss The King and JR duo on announcing...
Fantastic interview.
A great hour to chill with a couple cups of coffee too.
Lol, EXACTLY!
WaqarDepp I believe you mean "HELLO, EXACTLY!" ;)
I Have So Much Respect For JR Big Time As a WWE Fan!
MY GAWD ALMIGHTY, MY GAWD ALMIGHTY, I KILLED HIM
@Vince McMahon JR is The Best in WWE!
I eagerly await the day that Sam interviews Jim Cornette.
Same here!
Love to see more of these 60+ minute interviews. If you wanna get A LOT of views. Try and get Mark Callaway on. He will most likely get you the highest views.
Arcturus Dunhelm as far as we know. Even Austin has said that taker is still not comfortable talking to people (even him) about wrestlemania. He wants to heal before he does anything.
dan schutz Has Taker been on the podcast yet or it has been agreed to but hasnt happened yet?
None yet
Taker is old school as well. Maybe he just doesn't want to give up his gimmik until he officially retires.
dan schutz Steve Austin said he's getting 'Taker on his Steve Austin Show podcast soon, then we get the REAL story of the Deadman.
The world must know who Sam Roberts is, awesome interview.
Damn, I'm Old....
Not old! Vintage, like a fine automobile or wine.
Jim Ross You´re refined...like a good old wine....WWE isnt the same...it really is "The end of an Era", and i think "The end of good wrestling" : (
Jim Ross I heard some guy on James Hale radio show that sounds JUST like you.
Jim Ross AS GOD AS MY WITNESS you are the best damn announcer to ever grace any medium.
+Jim Ross SO AM I!!!
JR is such a great guy, you can tell him by just by hearing him talk.
The best interview I've seen with JR.
Impressed!! For one solid hour he didn't mention Stone Cold's name once!!!
He did when he was talking about "Mr. Mcmahon", but just once. Said that character had the perfect rivalry with a guy named Stone Cold.
As integral as both of those men were to each others careers, JR's, and Stone Cold's accomplishments speak for themselves. In my humble opinion both were easily the absolute best of the industry.
He mentions him at 38:15, which is not a solid hour.
God... when they got to talking about the night Owen died brought me to tears. I wasn't able to watch the ppv when it happened, but i had heard about it shortly after it happened, and wept for hours. I can't believe how much emotion is still brought up by them just talking about it.
This is probably my favorite interview Sam has ever done. JR is such a massive personality within wrestling, his way of telling stories is captivating. When he started talking about Owen, my heart sank. What an absolute tragedy. The Hart Family were my favorites to watch in the 90s, losing Owen was beyond devastating.
One of My Favorite WWE Interviews From Sam on TH-cam and The Stories Long Before I Became a WWE Fan in 2007!
Awesome interview, Sam! I could have watched this for days.
The most heart felt soundbite of the Hell in the Cell match I thought was actually Lawler. The 2nd fall, through the cage. When he simply said, in his real voice, "that's it, he's dead". Because he actually thought Mankind died. The look on Taker's face sold that soundbite as well, because he was looking down from the to of the cell thinking Mankind had died.
I always love when someone talks about Owen Hart of how awesome he was as a person
JR has got to be the classiest man in the wresting industry. All the times he's been fucked over and has never said anything even remotely negative about Vince or WWE.
Man JR should come back and broadcast WM 32 with the heel King.
This is where Sam shines. He's a great interviewer and he's incredibly passionate about Professional Wrestling. I'm not a fan of him on the Jim and Sam show honestly but here I could listen all day.
RIP to your wife JR.
The podcast is great btw
wow. fantasic interview.
Very candid interview. Said it before but sam seems to get the best in people through wealth of knowledge and mutual conversation. I find it unfair that WWE found flair as a more valuable asset to the company so they fired (again) Jim Ross. WWE should not have had Flair on this panel knowing his previous behaviour with alcohol and the fact that he was grieving a young sons death made it that much worse. Exploitation of ric flair at best
Hour well spent, great interview.
amazing interview sam, love it ! who knew jr was such a great man, what an interesting interview this was. Cheers for the video sam
The more I watch different eras and different brands of wrestling, the more I appreciate J.R. and Lawer.
I'm 7 minutes in and just realized the camera work. I like how it pans back and forth while you're talking, as if you're sitting there looking back and forth as each person talks. It works well compared to the usual cut back and forth most people use. Nice little touch to make it unique man. :)
i couldve watched/listened to another hour of that easily. Guy was one of the defining voices in my growing up.
Agreed. He left the WWE, so did I.
"you love a villain that is easy to hate" great quote from good ole' jr!!!!! :D
Sam with an interview 50 times better than O&A's
That was a great interview. I started watching it by viewing the clip where JR talks about why he was fired from the WWE. Then I watched another clip about him talking about the Montreal Screw Job. After those two I had to find the complete interview. Loved every second of it and wished there had been more. Never heard of Sam Roberts until now. Going to find some more of his stuff. Again, great watch! Thanks to the both of you.
***** Can you please try to get Jim Cornette in? You may need at least two hours, though. ...okay, just block out three hours, Corny can be long-winded, but it's radio fucking gold.
Ever since his release from WWE not too long ago, ever since has been giving these interviews more often..and man am i enjoying the hell outta em, I'd be very siked if they did a JR documentary, even though hes not part of the company, i know it's unlikely, but it would be a great dvd
I love JR, he's by far my favorite Commentator since Gorilla Moonsoon and Bobby Heenan
good ol' JR! wrestling will never be the same without him!
It’s impossible to dislike Jim Ross
@Christopher Gutierrez Yeah JR is a Awesome Storyteller!
brilliant interview, would love you to do an hour with jim cornette
This was an amazing interview. Great job!
I could listen to this for days. One extremely knowledgeable, interesting man who's been in the business for decade and is an excellent storyteller, and another who's clearly in love with the business, can't wait to know more, is very respectful, and knows how to conduct a GREAT interview. Great job!
Great interview. I've always loved Jim Ross as an announcer. He made WWE so much more entertaining.
Kasey Reusser Yeah and Me Too I Have Wonderful Respect For Him Since He's a Hall Of Famer!
Fantastic interview, also very well done too. The first time I've ever heard Sam but I thought he was excellent and didn't talk over or interrupt his guest.
Amazing interview Sam. I could listen to JR for hours. Luckily now that he has his podcast I can!
Cole could never fill JR's shoes as a Monday night Raw broadcaster. Bring back JR.
JR is the man...the next 1 hour interview has to be with piper!!!
Reguardless of when Undertakers last match is Jim Ross needs to call that match
Jim Ross is a legend and in my opinion the best announcer ever
We love you JR
your're the best
For people wondering what real journalism is this is what it's called this was a great back and forth interview. One of the best journalism jobs I've seen in a long time
Greatest Play by Play ("Straight Man" if you will) in the history of WWE. In my honest opinion, the ONLY person on his level behind that desk was Bobby The Brain Heenan on color commentary. That being said, an absolute legend. I've done commentary at an indie show and it is SO much harder than you think... especially since I was on my own trying to do color and play by play as almost a one man show. JR's timing, mind and passion for the business is so on point it can never be duplicated, emulated or replaced.
In a dream scenario I've always said I want to be the next Bobby the Brain (which is impossible BTW but I'd love to try), and if I got to sit behind the desk to do color after managing my client's match I would want a storyteller like JR to bounce off of... no less. Someone who doesn't call every spot a "maneuver" or be a walking advertisement like what they now consider passable in WWE.
G O A T
This interview could have easily gone well over another hour or two. Great stuff Sam!
Saw Jim Ross at the London Wrestling Convention at the weekend and wasn't disappointed with his Q&A. For someone that gets asked the same questions time and time again I think that his presence on stage was amazing! Would have no problem with paying to go see him again.LEGEND!
This is my favorite interview in your show Sam, great job!
God... To hear the re-telling of Owen's passing is so heartbreaking.
This is one of the best wrestling interviews I have seen. Great job Sam.
Haven't watched WWE regularly since 2001 but I recently discovered OSW Review and Stone Cold's podcast and I'm so into learning about all this back of house stuff. It's great.
Weird same here. Like I'll read a WhatCulture article here and there, and I'll rent a Wrestlemania for my nephew sometimes just for fun and to tell him how much better the attitude era was and stuff. But I have been watching wrestlers shoot on the backstage stuff the last couple days and I just can't get enough!
P.S. As a fellow Attitude Era fan were you as pissed as me when you found out fucking LESNAR beat Takers streak?!! And in my hometown New Orleans too. Smh it's just not the same anymore..
Their was no reason for the streak to end. Bad move on Vince's part
I can listen to JR talk for ages. I'm so happy that he has his podcast, I wish that his guest were in studio a lot more, because that's just my preference, but getting to listen to good ol' JR talking about the business and to some of the greats is just so entertaining for me. The man is legendary in the business and I don't think we'll ever get some on the play by play that is quite as good as he was/is.
This interview was awesome!
I have been watching Sam Roberts for a few months and I gotta say your amazing dude keep up the great work
Incredible interview, great job Sam. And for those who haven't checked out JR's podcast yet, download it now. It's amazing!
This needed to be at least 2 hours, if not 3 hours.
Ross is a gentleman.
Thanks for posting this up on here :) Really enjoyed it :)
I Love The Stories From Jim Ross About The Past in WWE Long Before I Became a WWE Fan in 2007 Wish I Had Started Watching It In The Early 2000’s After The Attitude Era!
Your interviews with talets from the "rasslin" business are simply the best. Please keep them coming.
Brilliant stuff, ive just subbed your channel Sam
Big hello from Scotland.
Finally, someone who actually likes wrestling and can give a good interview. Thank you Sam.
Absolutely awesome interview from JR and the interviewer
What a brilliant interview. Great effort Sam and JR. Montreal saved the WWE. Even The Hitman knows that. The irony of that moment is indescribable.
For the way the wwe treated him with all the shit they did up until his firing he is astoundingly nice about it that's a sign of true class, good on you JR!
J.R the best commenter ever!!!
57:20 as CM Punk said, Vince McMahon surrounds himself with 'ass kissing, yes-men'
Great interview! Could you try to get a new one with Damien Sandow soon? That would be really awesome :D
Fantastic interview! Well done Sam...
Well, i cant believe i stood for the entire thing. awesome interview
JR’s voice always makes me feel like I’m a 13 years old again and I’ve just put my video tape in the VCR to watch royal rumble 2000. WWE can put as many Micheal Cole’s, Corey Graves or Joey Styles on the desk but no one will ever come close to hearing “I’m good ol JR with Jerry the king Lawler at ringside.....” that’s when u knew u were in for good play by play commentary. I should watch AEW more 🤔
I'm delighted for Sam being in a position to do all of this cool stuff.
Love Sam great interviewer, reminds me of a combination between HBK, Sideshow Bob & Aaron Rift.
Great interview, Sam
Bret is from Calgary. Saying his hometown is Montreal is like saying Good Ole JR hails from Newark.
+Ruprect44 right? not even the same province.
Mitch Bedard Nope. Montreal is 4 provinces and 3 time zones to the east of Calgary.
JR = Legend!
This was an awesome interview JR was the best wwe commentator period.
I really appreciated the raw honesty and accountability displayed by JR. Great interview!
great stuff sam, good guy ross, youre better then most people on earth.
JR is the best and will always be the best
Jim Ross is The Best Ever While Being a WWE Fan Since 2007!
No Chris Benoit talk?
Gosh, I miss JR on RAW every week. Cole is actually a pretty awesome commentator, but JR is just amazing. His podcast is pretty fun to listen to each week as well, definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.
U can tell Sam has alot.of respect and love for Jr from a business standpoint
Sam and Jim Have Fun Talking With Each Other!
I’m 7 years late to this but omg JR is a legend. WWE fan from 2004-2009
When I think of WWF/WWE matches in my head I hear his voice selling a move or talking about something Steve Austin did lmao. His voice and lines are legendary and a big part of my childhood.
Jim Ross Deserves My Respect For Everything He's Accomplished In His WWF/E Career And I Looked Up To Him Like The Father I Never Had
I’ve been watch JR for year’s, and he’s always been my favorite. There is no one better than JR.
Thank you Sam, could listen to this all day.
was this the same interview from the podcast??
