I can drown out Lawler to a certain extent. His voice is unique, but not overly banshee-like. Not in the way Ross's is. Lawler, I'll sometimes forget is even there. I don't have this deafening BAH GAWD THOSE VICIOUS CHOPS blaring from Lawler.
But I guess I'm biased because I'm from Oklahoma. Yeah. I know of a grand three things that actually came from Oklahoma.
Jim Ross.
The Oklahoma Slam.
And Oklahoma himself.
Holy shit. What an amazing plethora of Oklahoma-based wrestling devices. Watch out, Canada. Oklahoma's climbing the ladder. I mean, even if NOTHING came from Oklahoma, I'd be happy. Instead, what few popular elements that actually come from Oklahoma are blatantly hillbilly. On a funny note, though, I have a friend named Patrick Raust who looks almost exactly like Jim Ross, complete with potato-shaped body, saggy cheeks and squared off glasses. And his name is Pat Raust. COME ON. What are the chances? It's like we're homegrowing fat rednecks to replace Jim Ross when he dies. Maybe nobody'll notice the switch. I wish I had a pic to post here.
