      I agree. Conrad absolutely sucks, he drains the life out of JR. I think with a more excitable partner JR would get better questions and be much more better suited because I love listening to him

    I remember recommending this on Twitter. I would LOVE if JR could give his insight to what makes a good talent relations officer. What the job entails. What to look for when you are scouting talent and how to approach different scenarios (talent being let go etc). As an autistic man, I’ve learned a lot by just listening to JR and how he approaches certain situations and what direction to take. A clever man indeed.

    For what it’s worth, JR was 20x more loved, respected, and trusted by the boys than Johnny. JR was always a straight shooter with you. If you needed to improve at something to help you reach your potential, he’d tell it to you straight out. Johnny didn’t do that. Instead, Johnny would go and chirp in Vince’s ear and bury that talent behind their back. Thought he was a god-awful head of
    talent relations. And when it comes to comparing the two of them in recruiting? Good Lord! Johnny’s not even in the same stratosphere let alone the same ballpark, vs. Jim Ross in recruiting prowess!

    Talent relations is seriously the most underappreciated job in all of wrestling. Babysitting a ton of egos while trying to please the big boss at the same time as well as having payroll done on time.

      As a person who's done payroll, it's a headache by itself. To manage egos, booking, play by play and Vince too, that takes a lot of work, patience, and skill. God bless him.
