No commentator team has come close to JR and Jerry King.
Jr and Paul heyman
+josh jackson Forgetting about Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan or were you born yet or old enough to remember?
I'm gonna combat that with Tony Schavone and Bobby Heenan.
Jerry lawler is a fucking disgrace
Perhaps now; but he was awesome in the NewGen and Attitude Eras.
jim ross the type a guy who still watches wwf on mute and commentates to himself
hahahahaha
+microtechmachineshop Lol
If he live streamed it I would mute my TV and listen to him instead lol
lol
+HardTotheCore64 god i would too,its not Raw without J.R
I don’t care who the sponsor is you don’t fire JR
The Canes still is
Who was the sponsor?
Irfan Iqbal We was fired in the pg era to begin with
I wonder if they had lost viewers by firing JR. If they have lost, I was reading an article about why WWE got rid of ECW. And there was said that Mick Foley said: Vince would rather lose 1 million dollars that in this case are viewers than gain 3 billion dollars that in this case are viewers doing what is good fort the others or what they tell him to do. So that is Vince. Doing by his mind and losing 1 million dollars than doing what others tell him and lose 3 billion.
@@denislmlbj I'm sure they did
Stone cold and The Rock in the ring, JR and the King ring side, that’s WWE heaven!
Vince McMahon and Jessie the body Ventura were better imo
Bobby and Gorilla kiddos, that was the standard of commentary.
JR and Heyman was my favourite commentary team. Jesse Ventura was also great.
With degeneration x as the outside ring enforcers
The best of times!!!👍❤😁😎⭐
WWE doesn't seem to have any respect for their employees, even if they are legends.

Chris J that is lie troll
Twenty Years of stellar work then one mistake and YOU'RE FIRED!!!! Sounds just like the major corporation I work for.
Odin the German Shepherd that's vince
tyler gnosis - Oh yeah. It is definitely past time for Vince to hand over control to somebody else ... just not Stephanie ... or Triple H.
Matthew Hudson NO CHANCE! haha
Yet you think 20 years of outstanding service you would know better. If you don't know the consequences to your job maybe you shouldn't be working it. Like if you were a cook and you spit in someone's food would you expect to still be there? I barely watch wrestling, but yes I do agree Jr was the best. But as you and anyone else can see they were losing money, so in my own opinion why would you insult the sponsor whether it was mistake or not.
Complete horseshit. I feel so bad just watching the shit stain called wwe. When Orton retires I pretty sure will stop watching this complete garbage
Firing JR, was the biggest mistake ever made by Vince.
Buying WCW was the biggest mistake Vince made......was the day wrestling died

Jack Mack No one said * All time* you see. Lawler was a good commentator before he started sucking the babyface's dicks. Cole is good when he commentates Matches. he just sucks at making jokes ( so does lawler ) and when he tries to be a heel while commenting and Interrupting some really intressting moments etc. both of them ruined howard frinkel announcing Cm punk's entrance aswell.

Without JR it's no good...
It amazes me. Jim Ross hired The Rock, Mankind, and other well-known talent, and McMahon repays him this way. What an odd way to express appreciation.
The man convinced Vince to hire steve austin. Jr is the real genius, Vince is an idiot reaping his father's work. Once the wars ended and all that was left was tna, Vince couldn't give a fuck less.
Dev n VInce is an absolute scumbag. The man literally makes my skin crawl.
Dev n Vince probably convinced himself that everything was his own personal accomplishments alone.
Deathbrewer
Considering he fired jr recently, and multiple times in the past, I say you're right.
He fires him, then realizes all of his ideas and roster suck, then he rehires him until he gets pissy about something again.
if Vince had full control of the situation he might have retained JR, but with the company going public who knows whose decision it was to fire JR.
I heard wrestlers doing worse and still keep their job,firing JR was total BS
Jim Ross and Jerry King were in the WWE what Pat Summerall and John Madden were to the NFL. Legendary commentating team whose voices instantly take you back in time to your childhood and/or some unforgettable match. Exceptional commentating can take a below-average-to-average match into a top card, main event match up. The individual commentating voice gift is rare. Putting two, rare, gifted individuals together is even more rare. Vince should have fined Jim Ross and not fire him. Terrible loss for the WWE.
Ross got fired because he's the voice of the best era in the history of pro wrestling. He's not a puppet like Micheal Cole or even Lawler who's gonna keep promoting the stupid ass $9.99 campaign. He's gonna promote the action in the ring!
Oh I know, every 10 minutes these days on raw it's like "www network 9.99" poor self promoting. It's really embarrassing! Even mick foley was good on commentary imp but he wouldn't listen to vince in his ears all the time
goldmind85 Um I bet you jim ross would promote it because he loves wwe if you listen to what he says
*****
goldmind85 Yes, because if Ross was there, he wouldn't promote the Network pivotal to the companies future growth.
True
WWE hasn't been the same since. He should still be sitting right beside the King....
Yeah, and I miss king talking puppies!
rowdyroughman
king so boring now
Seriously, the entire commentary team sucks; its Cole misspeaking or Cole and Bradshaw arguing.
Steven Simmons
plus cole being face is still always wrong all the time
Steven Simmons lets be fair JBL is pretty good, its Cole and King that are boring, still nothing compares to the beaut JR
He's honest and admits his mistakes, you don't fire someone like that. He has a 'perfect Wrestling commentary voice,' I will miss that voice-if I still watched that wrestling federation, but it's gone to crap 'all acrobatics now, no tough stuff like hard core matches, Street fights.' 'However' JR looks great, healthy, 'looking good man' you 'still' got that, stuff 'em!

When it comes to calling a wrestling match, Jim Ross is the GOAT
Now I watch him on all elite wrestling. He’s awesome.
He was wonderful. Gordon Solie was the GOAT.
@PeterBrown-mz4nv I remember Gordon Solie growing up , I have the utmost respect for him. Now in saying that I have to go with Jim Ross.
@@fastlane1221 Same here the other way around for me. They were both great.
@PeterBrown-mz4nv I agree, It's a hard decision for me. But, the reason I lean towards Jim Ross is he was with WCCW back in the old Dallas Sportatorium. Now, Jim was young in his early 20s, perhaps late teens. When he went to Georgia Championship wrestling after a stint in Oklahoma before joining Mid South Wrestling. I followed him for years before I enlisted in the military. I'm sure I left out some things because I didn't watch much wrestling at the time, but I did enjoy Gordon Solie when Georgia Championship Wrestling, along with a young Tony Schiavone. It was a great time, in my opinion, to watch wrestling at its best back then.
Just wanna say, THANK YOU JR,
for making our childhood GREAT!!
"BAHHH GAWWWD AWWLMIGHTY"
Cannot be replaced. Ever.
BAHHH GAWWWD AWWLMIGHTY, THEY KILLED HIM!
His voice was the voice of wwe for such a long damn time. I don't get why they fired over him something that petty.
Don't worry. When he dies, they'll love him again. Scumbags.
+NewLeatherface good point. It's crazy how wwe using ppl's deaths as profit. I think if anyone should get the profit off the diseased talents should be the family of diseased. Then again, Idk why I'm only pointing out wwe, lots of things do it in the entertainment felids. Back to JR, he made you get into the matches. Even if it wasn't that all of a great one, his voice and words made it seem like it more than what was really going on lol. But that was his skill. Getting ya pumped for a match and in a match.
Kris Sanders that sounds like McMahon though.
Go have a drink at your job tomorrow and see what happens. No matter what he did or didn't do, he still had a drink on the job. Fired!!!!!!!!!!! He deserved it. Don't care if that wasn't the reason, it's still a legit reason to fire somebody.
I love Jerry the King and Jr best commentary jerry is hilarious
"TOMBSTONE" "TOMBSTONE" "TOMBSTONE"! He could create magic with just one word man! Get him back!
JR was my favorite announcer. What a time to be alive, the (wwf) wwe will never see this level of talent again.
Same here. Lawler & JR 1997-2000 was simply amazing. Their complimentary energy made watching wrestling that much better.
I will argue and say that Jim Ross is arguably in the top 10 conversation as one of the greatest commentators of all time, and I'm not talking about wrestling, but in general. Thinking about it, Jim Ross new about a decent amount of how the matches would end, and even then he still made it seem like it was a live sporting event where you didn't know the outcome. He is a great commentator and made wrestling almost seem like a legit sport like basketball or football. He deserves to be in the broadcasting HOF.
+Gabe Sloan he'd be an awesome baseball broadcaster. BY GAWD HE CRUSHED THAT BALL! LOOK AT IT GO!
He was in the top commentary team of all time with Jerry Lawler, they had incredible timing on everything, the storytelling done and the way they set up every angle was awesome. Every person got over purely because the commentary team put everyone over by setting them up, nowadays the commentary team are too busy talking about how much someone sucks, its dumb as hell.
i like him. but taz and cole are my favs
+Gabe Sloan I agree. I could listen to hime all day long. I will never understand why Michael Cole still has a job and this man doesnt
I mean, Gordon Solie aside, who was even good enough to be considered a better play-by-play announcer?
It's ridiculous to see guys getting fired for such idiotic reasons. Back in the attitude era, they would give a guy a push if the media reported he was drunk at some panel.
Don't think they would
Charly The Kid Back before they went public you bet they would. During the Monday Night Wars they needed any publicity they could get.
TPSOTW
Because when they were privately owned they didn't have to be so politically correct. Still, it's kind of ridiculous to fire their most respected announcer for having a few drinks before a panel. Especially considering what shit JR often had to put up with in WWE over the years.
KalvinEllis
it has more to due with image. we live in such sensitive and idiotic times that parents use television to do there jobs. if they see wwe has bad so called role models, they will not allow their children to watch the program which ironically would give them more time to play call of duty and watch mtv, 2chainz and beyonce as if those are good role models.
3nderoX
people don't regulate much anymore and expect things to be perfect.....look at all the 9 year olds on COD when its rated mature
Vince McMahon has messed up wrestling so bad.
Not only him but these pussy parents and cry baby ass kids
It's not Vince it's that ignorant daughter of his and that douche HHH
Vince McMahon is what's right and wrong with today's wrestling product.
Gearswitch819 no it’s definitely Vince. Everything runs through Vince. From creative decisions to the concessions stand. He’s the one that makes all the decisions. He’s messing up his own company.
Why and how?
The main reason I can speak English fluently is listening to this guy in childhood || Baww Godd!! all mighty || legend .
How many times has JR been fired?
He's one of those people who worked his ass off and remained loyal to the WWE till the bitter end and still gets no respect.
So true
+Not Another Game Channel! I love Jim Ross. Have for decades. While he has been released several times, he was in Vince's inner circle for a while, was head of talent relations for years, as well as the lead play by play man on Raw from 1998 - 2008. While they might have mistreated him a few times, they had a pretty lengthy and successful working relationship for almost 20 years.
The only reason he gets "fired" is because his Bells Palsy
The WWE lost out on this one, not Ross. After 2008 (end of the RA era), WWE went to absolute crap with the PG universe era. Good riddance.
Of course you blame PG for everything, watch WWE Whatculture
+TF2Charmander The Robloxian well i mean after the end of the RA era it was still good until it went garbage in 2010
Verenice Quintero Omg I know 2010 was a shit year, then early 2011 was shit, then CM Punk made 2011 - 2012 barable, Daniel Bryan became a start in 2013 - 2014, and now NXT is doing wonderful in 2015 - now.
Attitude Era, will always be the best.
Attitude era sucked it only worked in 1997-2001 because it was a special era
“SOMEONE RING THE DAMN BELL”
I never knew he got fired I thought he just had left
Even without a single crowd in Wrestlemania this time imagine how JR would make everything still be magical.JR is the not only the best commentator in WWE.He is the best commentator for any sports.
@@differentworld1646 MYYYYYYYYYYY GAWWWWWWWWDDDDD ITSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THEEEEEEEEEEEEE UNDERTAKKKKERRRRRRRR!!!!!
I thought he just left as well.
He is on AEW
THATS GOTTA BE KANE THATS GOTTA BE KANE
Watching wrestling since I was a kid and now almost 50yrs old. I can honestly say that JR was and still is the most exciting, experienced commentator in "ALL" of wrestling. Everyone is so quick to forget all the years JR kept us in the edge of our seats and as far as I'm concerned no one will ever measure up to JR. We the loyal fans of wrestling will always love and respect what JR did for wrestling. Thank you JR for all you have done from the bottom of my Southern Texas heart. There will never be another quite like you honey.
Respect for MR Ross,..he's the best there EVER was....He could call a Sunday afternoon arm wrestling with two old ladies half falling asleep....and I would watch on the edge of my seat ...Thank you sir...
Agreed! Best comentator of all time!
He was wonderful. Gordon Solie was the best.
WHEN JR WAS FIRED, WWE LOST THEIR VOICE THAT DAY........
lost their soul
That's life guys. Major companies DO NOT CARE about their workers. No matter how long you have been with them or how hard you have worked, sooner or later once you start slipping just a tiny bit they will use that to fire you and replace you with someone better and younger.
Well them being younger yeah but better... nope
Wwe doesn't care who they fire because anyone is replaceable
Jr aint replaceable and that's why AEW won. Wwe unwatchable now. Sincerely from a fan since 91
Well said
One of the worst mistakes WWE did was let JR go
BROKEN IN HALF BROKEN IN HALF
Even since he had his face paralyzed they were looking for an excuse to fire him. I still think he and Jerry are the best announcers in the business and miss the duo every Monday quite frankly.
2014: "I'm always gonna be a WWE guy."
2021: "Hello everyone and welcome to AEW Dynamite!"
its wednesday night, and you know that means
Always loved how JR carried himself. A true professional and a class act if I say so myself
Absolutely the opposite! He is classless who talks terrible about people who are no longer here to defend themselves. CLASSLESS
I stopped watching WWE the moment they fired this legend.
this face of a man who has been broken...... in half
Good god almighty that's a good comment
ba gawd don't comment that think of your family Jeff!
As god as my witness, I am laughing myself in half
Somebody stop the damn comment thread
This comment has me spaghetti-legged.
(More obscure ross reference)
" as god as my witness his body is broken in half"
"ROCK BOTTOM, ROCK BOTTOM, ROCK BOTTOM ON THE BOSS!!"
- Jim Ross
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!
That was bullshit firing JR over that. Paul Heyman ripped up his notes. Ric Flair could not have been stopped by JR without JR making a huge scene. Triple H and Vince are just punks.
explains why vince lost 360 million the last 2 months.. he lost it years ago the product is just lazy and declining since the pg era was introduced he fires jr after all these years and all the success he brought the bussiness through signing developing talent like the rock stone cold and mankind his legendary comentary career but he hires and pushes eva marie endlessly... and he choose to end the streak to a hit or miss part timer hours before wrestlemania before letting brock disapear for 6-8 months .. not to mention it was followed by a divas tag match as the co main event of wrestlemania damn hes stupid now
Where did you hear that Paul Heyman ripped up his notes?
Idk88 On the video, after JR looses control he tears up the script as a joke
I would have stopped him in a way that entertained the audience and made Ric feel good.
king and jr, best tag team forever
Both are no longer working for the WWE now. Well they had a good run, better than most and made alot of money to use for their retirement, so don't feel too sad for them.
Jr is certainly still working for WWE
He's lead commentator for NJPW not WWE as of 2016.
Gorilla and The Brain are the all time best. JR and Lawler were awesome though.
Wenxing Wang will you stop! (monsoon voice)

2014: I will always be a WWE Guy- Jim Ross
2021: I will always be a AEW Guy- Jim Ross
We've gone from 'AS GOD AS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF' to 'oh my' from michael cole with vince screaming directions in his ears. J.R. was the man!
The truth is, in WWE you can't even burb without Vince's permission. Vince doesn't want anybody to be creative or innovatice. His Godzilla like ego wouldn't allow it.
You obviously have zero clue. If that were true Stone Cold would of stayed the Ringmaster and never reached main event status. The company is always looking for talent to step up and say I don't want to do this shit, let's go in another direction.
The problem is the wrestlers today are too scared or content in their role to make any noise. All they have to do is speak up and they can create their own character.
Viktor Stagnetti Stone Cold does what he's told. If he was told stay ringmaster, he would have done it like the professional wrestler he is. Vince let him speak the way he wanted to compete with WCW. Nothing else. No wrestler 'speaks up'. They beg to speak. Jericho begged to do his own talking in WCW instead of a script. Etc etc.
Cory Smith How would you know, If they speak up or beg to speak? You are not there? You are not one of the Boys. You are just a fan, so don't sell your opinion as Facts.
Viktor Stagnetti False you can't choose you'r own gimmick, wwe choose that
Magnus Solli wrong wwe does give you a gimmick in the beginning but look at austin he was a wrestlig master then came to steve austin so what you are saying is wrong and people need to understand its there choice to say no and be fired or released so wrong
Remember the good olde days when Jim used to say "OH MAH GAWD, SOMEBODY STAPH DA DAYUM MAYTCH"
This is tremendous... Art Garfunkel interviewing Jim Ross!
Bwahahahaha. OMG. Nice one!!

Flair showing up drunk: Not fired
Heyman tearing up JR's notes: Not fired
Jr 'slurring' his speech: Fired.
Really, Vince?
Damn right. The kayfabe Vince is just the real Vince dialed up to 11. I respect Vince for his sense of the business, from 85 to 91 and from 96 to about 04 maybe, but I have no respect for him on any kind of personal level. He is a greedy turd that believes he is always right, even when he knows he is dead wrong.

They was a fantastic team. Just like Michael Cole, and Taz. Not Michael Cole, and JBL which totally sucked. Oh!. Even Michael Cole, and Kevin Kelly was great on Sunday night heat during the attitude era at the time.
No WWE is a shit show nowadays, no amount of JR or the Rock can fix that. Ba gawd the show is broken in half! This is truly a sickening display
Tazz?? Sorry bro... J.R. was doing it long before Tazz appeared on the scene.
Ric should've never been given an invitation on the 2k panel after such a heartbreaking and terrible tragedy...
JR looks like he's being dubbed everytime he talks
I never realised his voice sounds just like Dave Ramsey.
Columbo Dalmas Holy shit. You’re right.
😂
I have a feeling he'll be back at some point...everyone comes back eventually and Vince doesn't hold grudges forever.
He can't afford to hold grudges now at his age. We don't know how much longer he has left.
tell that to savage
Tony Montana That's because Savage fucked his daughter. True story.
trippychill Angle and Gangrel had the opportunity to come back. However, around that time, Angle and Gangrel were doing shoots left and right on WWE. As for the Hardys, how many chances should those guys get? Matt was all fucked up and left, Jeff was a junkie for the majority of his career and left multiple times, and WWE still let them go out against each other at WrestleMania.
Rion Paige
NOT True Story, that's a rumor. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. Even IF it did, he'll get over that eventually too
What a gentleman. He has been fired and takes it on the chin. Doesn't blame others and pays respects to Flair. Class Act.

Josh Harris do u blame him tho good for him
I dont blame him... wwe is ass, has been ass since 2004 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
It’s not like he completely agrees with all the Indy shit there tho 😬 you can hear him being like that’s bullshit or wheres the logic in that all the time
iRaps1 Considering how annoyed jr gets on tv and fite I wonder how annoyed he gets behind the scenes/after the shows done
@@oriyion i stg i guess because he's not associated with the creative direction he's not too worried, but he probably gets pissed when he has to call blatant bullshit.
I think he has a case for a disability lawsuit against wwe
Attitude Era commentary team
*Triple H after betray DX*
Triple H: "you know normally i would come out here and I would have just 2 words for all of you...."
*fans interrupt Triple H by chanting Ass....hole....*
King: "oh oooh. sounds like the fans have 2 words for Triple H"
JR: "That's one word, King"
King: "Ooh"
"Ass" and "hole" are two words. lol
jpowers55 asshole is one
@@denisgojic2133 a combination of two words
@@seanegan8150 combination of two word becoming one word..
@@zuhairzubir8539 well yeah, it still means the same thing though.
Ass hole.
Asshole.
Jim Ross is the most underrated, yet the greatest Legend in the WWE.
"I'm always gonna be a WWE guy" This comment did not age well.
Nicholas Heiberg
I don’t get it ?
@@floridafan561 I think he meant because WWE is shitty these days
slick s Jim Ross is a commentator on AEW, WWE rival
That doesn't have to mean literally. It can mean he will always root for them. Which may be the case.
He even finished it off with wishing them success...
JR on AEW is not as good as the old days. He screws up frequently during commentating and he seems uninterested
I was in the front row for the symposium, being awake for 26 hours straight after my flight was delayed 18 hours from London, it is still something I will never forget. I don't think anyone could've handled that situation any better than JR to be honest, it could've been alot "worse" or out of control maybe a better word. Truthfully the whole idea of a wrestlemania symposium at summerslam made no sense!

I agree. It's like what he told Sam,folks had to understand that Ric Flair was going through a tough time & JR did the best he could. 2KSports had no problem because they enjoyed it,but firing JR? Bad move that turned out to be a blessing for him

That's WWE for you,they'll fire JR over this BS & gives Ric Flair a job. When you think about it,jobs everywhere do this stuff. I got suspended from my job last year for some BS,before that back in 2008,I fired for something that was beyond but wasn't beyond my control
I stopped watching WWE in mid 2012 and when I found out Jim Ross was fired from the company I was pissed off, I was even more pissed off when they decided to end Undertaker's streak to Brock Lesnar, IT SHOULD'VE BEEN TRIPLE H OR SHAWN MICHAELS OR CM PUNK The company is dead to me now.
Triple H, and Shawn Michaels turned down ending the streak. Only one who accepted was Brock Lesnar. Taker had for years been asking everyone to end it but no one would do it.
TheKAlltop Probably cause no one wanted to be the one to end the thing that made Undertaker so ominous and unreal, I remember hearing that Taker wanted Randy Orton to end it at Wrestlemaina 21, i'm just saying there were a lot more better options then Lesnar.
Worst part is that they didn't consider Bray defeating the streak. 😞
Codyman yeah or even Kane would've been a better pick.
+David Captain Charisma Ryan don't worry, that was takers #1 pick. But of course no one wanted to do it
Some of my favorite Jim Ross quotes. "He's running like a scalded dog." "Will somebody stop the damn match!" He's being whipped like a government mule!" "It's gonna be a slobberknocker!"
Tougher than a two dollar steak!
JR is the only wrestling personality I want to meet some day
Commentating is the heart of wrestling that tells the story of whats happening. Nuff said
Your first good comment Jimmy fuck stick.
Jimmy Gee WHAT ON EARTH?!?!?! Neighbours, everybody needs good NEIGHBOURS. **SERIOUSLY**!!! That is your avatar!!! I cannot imagine a more irrelevant program.. maybe 'home and away'. UN-BE-LIEVABLE!
boliussa happy to know i made your day..
Jimmy Gee Wel, you're not much of a fan if you don't want to explain why you made him your avatar.. I guess you're just two sacks of shit, hence the connection between you.
boliussa morons like yourself don't deserve a proper reply.
I hope Shane O Mac regains control of RAW after his match with The Undertaker and rehires Jim Ross live on-air.
It will be dope
Took th' words right out of my mouth
+hotgirlsarehot You do know that this is just a Kayfabe thing, right? Even if Shane does end up as the General Manager, Vince still has the last word on everything.
rock00dom puh mu ah bodo
People 1 Okay? :D
The Jim Ross firing was the most disappointing moment in wrestling for me. He's a class act and the most talented announcer in the history of wrestling. It's sad to see him go out like that.
MY GOD HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!!! I'm no longer a fan of the WWE but that will forever live in my memory
Even when hes gone from the company, hes towing the company line. C'mon JR. You did nothing wrong.
Why are so many people surprised that he was fired? It's the WWE they'll fire you for anything lol
***** Listen if Hulk Hogan can get fired then anybody can.
Bringing JR back is what's BEST 4 business
truestdude Totally is :D
+PandasDontShare True, they fired HBK back in the day for a fight they heard he got into...
Let's not forget, 'HE'S BROKEN IN HALF!'
I didn’t know he wasn’t with wwe anymore
That’s how relevant wrestlin* is to be anymore
