JR is Such a Twat
 

Yeah, last night he said, in regards to JBL interfering at Armageddon, "A commentator has no right to get involved with a match!"

Yeah, so what the fuck does he call breaking a glass jar over Tazz's head at Summerslam '00?

You aren't supposed to remember that.

What, so these really aren't the droids I'm looking for?

To be fair, I had more or less forgotten about it...

TOVO Fact: Tovo never leaves the toilet seat up.

<font color=goldenrod>You see, Tazz was a heel then...and heels are the exception to every rule. Hence why its perfectly acceptable for a face male to beat a heel woman.</font>

I remember everything. Even Max Moon.

I Still Remember...

TOVO Fact: Tovo hates when he gets a bad haircut.

You better be saving these facts for a special edition DVD. (And no that did not used to say "addition. :shifty:")

He also said "Chris Jericho has challenged JBL to a fued" lol

LOL. Doesn't King interfere in a lot of matches?

You seem to have missed the several times this year his own broadcast partner has wrestled. That Tazz and JBL were wrestlers. But as you say JR's losing it.

Vince owns the whole of wrestling and thus wrestling history. So, with that in mind, it is quite acceptable for J.R. to "forget" the times that Tazz or King or even himself have gotten involved with matches.

It's the same as having Jeff Hardy stand there and proclaim that his match against HHH for the Number 1 Contendership was the biggest of his career, comletely neglecting that he has fought for the WWE Title before.

Wooooooooo TOVO facts return :love:

TOVO, I'm starting to worry. "You never leave the toilet seat up", you prefer "candles to lamps"...I'm sensing that rather than being the hard-edged, straight-talking oracle of this forum, you're actually a big, softy, romantic, sensitive new-aged guy. :wtf:

Side note (which may be in the Raw thread) did anyone else notice that Lillian announced Melina as Kelly Kelly last night?

I'd still hit it.

Well Lawler actually being in a wrestling match is different. I can even forgive Lawler's beatdown on Santino, as that took place after a match.

What I hear is "Jillian, Layla, Kelly Kelly and Victoria."

I had no idea who was who for half the match.

I don't know, but there were definitely 18 very nice things in that ring at one point. :naughty:

Dont diss JR, or you will get an OU beatdown! (HSd to get an OU reference in)

Maybe he's gay.;):rofl::rofl::rofl::D

:eek:

Unless it was with Bret Hart or HBK you can't ask us to recall anything that happened over 2 weeks ago.

What he said.

I would have gone with "a woman." It's less to type.

I miss the days when King use to antagonise JR. That's also what made it mark-out material when King used to stand up for JR. It was like "Hold on, I might be all for making fun of JR, and I might slap him over the back of the head for the hell of it, but he's my commentary partner, dammit!" Whenever JR calls the Whisper in the Wind a Twist of Fate, King should jump down JR's throat for it. Reminding JR that commentators like he and JBL can do whatever they want is another thing he should be jumping down JR's throat for.

My word, I'd have marked out so hard if King just turned on JR after that, and said "So, JR, it's alright if I beat up Santino Marella, but JBL beats up Jericho and it's a crime? You're such a hypocrite!"

A serious question about Jim Ross:

Do you believe that part of the reason JR used to be a great commentator, was not solely because he poured so much emotion into things, but because as Head of Talent Relations, or whatever he used to do, he knew the wrestlers a lot better?

I mean, JR strikes me as the kind of guy to know the wrestlers and be on talking terms with them, but the guy is a lot older now, and more removed from the heart of the WWE. He wouldn't spend nearly as much time at the office, and probably focuses a lot on his wife, his health, his restaurant, and even his blogs.

I personally think they should cut JR from RAW, and have him move backstage, and help with coaching newer guys to the position. I mean, the WWE has Todd Grisham who is learning on Heat, Josh Mathews, Jack Korpela and this Max Bretos guy (I'm not sure if he's still around, though). Keep JR around, but have him do some Heat commentary. Maybe have him do alternative DVD tracks with wrestlers on their releases. Give him the occasional on-screen appearance, and just move him back to a less time consuming role on TV.

No. I think his decline began before he left talent relations, and has to do with his own passion for the business as such. Or maybe, simply because of his health. God knows, he's been through a lot.

That's probably it. The guy's just getting older and can't handle as much. They really should get someone new to sit in. I remember really digging Joey Styles when he first showed up. Why the WWE feels the need to edit him is beyond me.

JR is still the best play by play guy in the business. Before they try and get rid of him again, they better find someone who can call a match better. Cole sucks and Styles is now a shell of himself

We should ditch commentary booths. On TNA programming just give Nash a mic and let him talk over everything and on WWE do the same thing with JBL. It's bound to be brilliant!

...or maybe not, but it'd be fun for a while anyway...

TOVO Fact: Tovo always uses a towel to clean his machine after working out.

Shouldn't it be The One Version Two now?

TOVT? First it doesn't sound as good, and second, why am I upgrading a version?

TOVO Fact: Tovo enjoys a glass of Gin & Tonic with his lunch.

Starting up the TOVO Facts again, I thought you were going to a new version. A new sleaker, sexier version.

What is he, Microsoft?
