I've loved Jim Ross since I was a kid... Now that I've grown up and see how he has handles the hardships in his life. It makes me like him that much more. What a classy guy.
Goddamn, I respect JR even more. He's a class act and sees things in a very professional way. I'm glad he's out of the WWE and he's living his life. He looks like he's lost weight, he looks great. You may not like the man, but damn it, you have to respect him. For taking all those humiliation segments all those years. One of the best wrestling commentator of all time.
The John Laurinitis "Era" in WWE is one that I try to forget often!
That era was pretty awesome
Yeah the paralegals loved it
When he says "ball-less writer types", I'm pretty sure he's talking specifically about Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara.
Yeah the guy responsible for the edgiest gimmicks in all of wrestling has no balls. Sure.
Jacob Israel?
No, he's not.
@@BigEvan96 you think that shit was edgy? Lmao what are you 14 watching attitude era videos on peacock? Shit was embarrassing
Those guys were gone when the really humiliating segments on JR took place
Good grief, That is a class act way of looking at things.
It's amazing, isn't it? Jim is absolutely one of the most gracious and professional people I've seen. I respect him even more now.
badnewsBH no he isnt im usre he is bitter inside. to have a career like that only to get fired for being drunk and unprofessional. he was not professional
stndrds79 He wasn't fired for *being* drunk and unprofessional, he was fired for failing to control a panel wherein *Rick Flair* was drunk and unprofessional. There is *nothing* to suggest he is a bitter man.
***** why would he be fired only for the actions of someone else, like ric flair, who is not a regular person on the roster? he was clearly tipsy and i resent the fact that he would use his handicap to try to make an excuse and justify slurry speech. jr, im glad management didnt fall for that. shame on u
stndrds79 1. WWE thought the panel was an embarrassment, and blamed him as the host.
2. *None* of the people on the panel were on the roster. It was a legends panel.
3. He didn't *have* slurry speech.
4. Shame on JR? Shame on *you* for abbreviating 3 letter words and forgetting how your shift key works.
Still the best of all time
josh Night Wing Wing
Yes, you are 100% right. Gordon Solie was and always will be the greatest announcer of all time. It's refreshing to see a younger fan know this and appreciate true greatness.
Why would they fire him that way? The guy worked there for 20 years. They should've done it backstage privately and then did an angle afterwards to write him off TV.
Why fire him at all? No one will ever be as good on commentary as JR.
Because the WWE is now a corporate product (meaning stockholders want to be pleased) and anything that potentially threatens the bottom line of the company (even when it's not even close to doing so) is jumped on that white blood cells on a virus. This is why the WWE needs to go bankrupt.
skankuser When did the shareholders voice the opinion that JR threatened the bottom line of the company, and who are said shareholders?
u dumb
stndrds79 Articulated excellently, with perfect spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Thank you for showing me *I dumb*.
JR is the Muhammed Ali of commentators
Glad to hear Jr's voice again on commentary, enjoying AEW a lot. Will always be a JR fan, not just for commentating but for everything he's done behind the scenes over the years.
Believe it or not, for a long time JR WAS the RAW for me. Hearing his voice would give me great comfort. Hell of a commentator.
how can you do a HOF so dirty ... not just any hall of famer but the voice of your company.
ThingsYouWant2C
The guy JR if it wasnt for his commentary the attitude era would not be the same without him.
Jim Ross is the best announcer of all time. However, the reason why they ran these angles to poke fun at JR was because he took it for all those years. They wouldn't have done it to jerry Lawler because he would call them out or quit. I think JR needed to hold them responsible a little more.
JR is twice the man Vince will ever be!
Oh shut up you don’t know anything how about you educate yourself
Yeah, he's twice as fat.
I started listening to Jim Ross with UWF in the mid 1980's - he and Marc Lowrance at WCCW actually called the matches instead of promoting the next card or arguing with "guest" commentators (except Michael Hayes). They both had their own group of fans and didn't come off like actors playing parts, as they WWE fools do.
Talk about a humiliation angle.
How about the whole Mark Henry,
Mae Young thing. That was beyond cringe worthy. It was as if Mark Henry pissed someone off so they set out to destroy him. Then making Big Show get down on his knees and cry and beg to John Laryngitis not to fire him.
That wasn't just humiliating.
It seemed spiteful.
It's absolutely pathetic how WWE treats their "employees". Keeping them all as independent contractors sure gives them a lot of leeway and they know it. How big of a douche do you have to be to surprise a long term employee with something like that? It's just another way for Vince to remind everyone that he's the boss. Jim Ross was a kick ass commentator who was also the head of talent recruiting. It's not like he was the first guy they've screwed over. Anytime someone criticizes WWE publicly they suddenly get pushed down the card and jobbed out or released. Vince keeps blaming the talent for not stepping up yet it's painfully obvious they don't have the creative freedom that they once did. I swear the only things that have changes with the script writing each week is the date at the top of the page. The least that dipshit could do is pay for their travel and health insurance considering how often he f***s them over and plays with their careers and livelihood. The guys ego means more to him than the quality of his product and he's surrounded himself with a bunch of yes men. Vince knows they won't speak up because they've lost the leverage to sign with the competition.
The kiss my ass club was one of the most humiliating things Vince Mcmahon has done to his employees
McMahon got a kick out of humiliating his employees on live television, as those angles were unnecessary.
Mauricio M that much is true. But you have to admit that after survivor series 2001 it was funny when he did it to William regal.
I don't know whether, Jim Ross is actually ok with how he was treated or if he's trying to be nice, but both as a fan (of wrestling and of Jim Ross) and generally as a person, the way he was treated was disgusting and it was bullying. There were two levels, there was the stuff where they got him to dress up in stupid outfits and get Santina Marella to flirt with him or Big Dick Johnson to thrust his cock in his face, which was just poor taste and embarrassing, then there was (face) Vince trying to tell Hornswoggle how you really do an impersonation of his JR's bells Palsy, doing a skit operation on a mannequin of JR while he in reality was actually of tv having an operation, trading him to Smackdown and not telling him just so they could see his reaction (this was at a time when RAW and Smackdown had different touring schedules, so JR would have had to change all travel arrangements for the next couple of years) and then taking him off TV, while he was still physicall on tv with the camera's rolling. I don't even know how some of it didn't break contract.
It’s one thing to have a heel target JR for a physical attack because it’s an easy way to get heel heat, or to piss off Austin, but mocking his Bell’s Palsy was bullshit. He deserved better and I’m glad he is out of there.
People bash Vince for humiliation angles like this kiss my ass club and whatever else and they call him a bully ect.. But here's the thing he also humiliated himself countless times for the sake of our entertainment.. He kissed people's ass on live TV, let's not forget him pissing his pants on live television in that Austin BANG 316 angle.
The thing is that in this case, it's definitely not funny or entertaining see the releasing of their best announcer in his hometown on live TV.
Jr was the best commentator wwe ever had him and lawler they should have never fired them
KHAOS x TH3ORY truth
Is it me or does it look like JR lost some weight?
No, he's fat! HAHAHAHHAHA
Anyway, I need to get back to pushing Cena someow
Vincent Kennedy McMahon no Vince bring back CM Punk and reward him the WWE World Heavyweight Championship ;)
***** Punk doesn't respond to my calls
I miss him...
How dare you insinuate that, show some respect to the greatest promoter of all time! Good day sir.
EZDose420 Blasphemy, He is the one that always overacted on commentary!! Have some damn respect will ya?
The way they treated good old JR at times is bullshitAnd the fact that he is the greatest announcer of all time and they still treat them like they’re concerned that he is an absolute legend is bullshit
Instead of surprising people live on TV with a "you're done" type of message why don't they tell people in meetings or backstage mention "oh btw were going to have this guy cone out and do this to you and its because we want you out of this position and doing something else"? Why does it seem like a big game to them?? That's just unprofessional
Vince definitely has a humiliation kink
I'm not sure that getting fired live with no warning would do anything to reduce JR's stress levels. Credit to him for remaining so supportive of WWE; in his place is would be much less forgiving I think.
there is tons of people(wrestlers and administrative) saying that JR wasnt the best person backstage.... maybe that's the real reason ehy he got treated like it.
What a stand up guy. Salute J.R
At the end of the day Vince has a severe prejudice against southerners. He hates everything about them and as much as Jim Ross gave him,he still saw it fit to reduce his character,which ultimately could affect his brand,to nothing. JR has seen worse tho,he ran with Bill Watts,im sure he has.
Vince McMahon kisse my ass club was the best humiliation angle of all time
You know hes on about Russo. Jr is the best commentary of all time.
jim is a class act
love Jim Ross. good guy and knows football too.
I still don't know how John Laurenitis became so powerful in WWE..,,..this guy used to be the flag bearer for the sheepherders years ago.
Kissing ass.
the disrespect they have shown JR throughout his career is astonishing. yes he was well paid but not well treated and certainly not paid well in respect. The man always conducts himself as a first rate human being and professional, well liked by everyone I have ever heard say his name and yet for some reason he had a big red bullseye painted on his forehead that Vince liked to lob lumps of his shit at and it just isn't right.
JR is always classy!
he looks great. god bless jr
:O it wasn't J.R.'s decision to stop on commentary? WTF! Who decided that!? Why man..
Why wouldn't they keep the best teams?!:
J.R. & King on Raw.
Booker T, Cole, & King on Smackdown...
Several reasons:
1) Booker is fucking appalling on commentary - even worse than he was on promos.
2) Lawler is almost as bad. He's the weak link on Raw.
3) Cole and JBL are superb as a pair.
Christ J Sorry but Cole/JBL are awful. I know they're told what to say, but JBLs 'catchphrases' are annoying as shit and Cole can't remove his tongue for John Cena's ringpiece long enough to call a match. And all respect to the King, but he was 1000% better as a heel.
This guy is a saint
It's official, JR enjoys himself some fart jokes.
JR took the high road
That' s why i want JR to help AEW to be a good wresling compagny ..whit all his knowledge
The fans loyalty to JR will cost WWE in the long grass…Hes AEW’s gain
One day when Vince dies people will see he was such a great guy and such a genius. Truth is that neither are very true
I just heard there's a team named Foxsana and a team named Rybaxel. WWE = Worst Writing Ever.
Sam got his own show? wow
Holy shit Sam looks so different🤣
total class act....
I like his commentary....and his accent. HA!
next time you interview someone let them talk and the camera needs to be on them at all times, and no "mhm,mhm, yeah"
its seems like he got threatened about speaking about it negatively
Dude! Shut up and let JR talk! Can't stand these types of interviewers.
JR is the best wrestling announcer of all time don’t @ me
Any heat that is ever created by anything in wwe, is always wasted on John Cena anyway. hahaha
Don't even need to watch this video. I know what he's going to say. "We're playing roles. I'm the sympathetic announcer. They're the evil heels. It's entertainment, folks." And then going on and on ranting about "people on the internet blah blah blah." Good god.
Actually he doesn't talk about the internet people.
Rafael Jasso You mean.. EVERYONE?
ilabene my oh my you were wrong
Huh, didn't know the Johnny Ace firing thing was something JR didn't know about.
Jacob Israel?
The egg has a crack, where is my shoe?
Fantastic
"Tv persona" Jim Ross deserved everything that he got big cowboy man
He has a lot of stock...Not worth much now :s
agreed
You have no idea what you are talking about. After the pump and dump, it's back into it's normal range.
Speaking of a company's stock not being worth much now.. look at Radio Shack.
When you wrote this comment agreed but now its about where it should be and maybe going up due to the network doing alot better
JR said they were stock options. I do believe that when a person is let go they are required to cash the options. So he probably no longer held that stock when you wrote this comment.
Untrue. You don't need to cash in stock options when you are no longer employed with a company.
He deserved it cause he farted on ppl in the past oh yeah yeah
Sam needs to take a damn breath and learn how to listen..... How annoying..
I don’t like Sam’s Hair
Why is JR always drunk on air and slurring his speech ...
