J.R Appreciation Thread
All good things must come to the end. Although most of you are glad that he did leave and I must admit I kinda am to but aside from the last few years he did produce some fantastic work. No one on the commentary team to this day could put over a face or a heel like he did.


I’m sure like many of you remember moments of his passionate commentary. When I think of great moments in the WWE in my head JR’S commentary usually come to mind. Moments like Benoit and Austin’s first title wins (although it was basically the same ), Michaels win at ss after his comeback and every time Austin came to the ring (Stone cold, stone cold, business is about to pick up).

And I’m sure JR’s unique vocabulary is imprinted in your minds as it had mine.

So please don’t use this as a chance to pay out the ROSSMEISTER.



Cheers fatfuck.

JR and the WWE just seem to fit together.He's an important part of the company(despite not being as good these last few years).It'll be weird him not being there next week.

There are a few good memories of JR, here are a few

His commentary during the 1998 Hell in the Cell match.
"Would somebody stop the dam match!"

The way he dealt with the news of Owen Hart's death and relaying the news to the viewings was very classy and honourable

His many, many faux-pas
"...and that turnbuckle ain't made out of chocolate, folks"

He was a very good commentator, but it was time to go. I don't think he'll be missed all that much, but he will remain the voice I associate with wrestling for many years. I wish him the best.

Now bring on Styles

I agree whenever I think of Owen's death I always think of J.R's words “I hope that I am half as good as a man as Owen so that one day I may see him again”.

It's obvious that JR was fired. Look at all the threads popping up about JR's successor and whatnot. Besides, with all the hype if you dodn't see this coming then you're an idiot.

Besides, it won't spoil your viewing pleasure because it sounds like the whole segment sucked ass anyway

The segment was good actually, the Mcmahons got some real heel heat. It just wont be the same as the last time they were like this, because there's no one like Austin or Rock to feud with them.Don't see why JR had to go out in such a humiliating way though I guess that's the WWE way.

Its a travesty that JR is embrassed so many times by the McMahons. If I was him I would be still pissed off about the kiss my arse club Incident.

I thought what was missing from his few years was how he could get so pissed off at a heel. The anger in his voice made you hate him so much more.

And Youell there is another thread called "Who is going to replace JR"

The way they embarrassed him on the way out, it made me think that Stone Cold is getting him his job back. If this is really the end, then that's really fucked up. JR deserves a nice sendoff, and even though I don't enjoy his work much anymore, he deserves to step down gracefully for all his hard work.

My first memories of Jim Ross (forget JR, he'll always be Jim Ross, IMO) was as an announcer for WCW. He is probably gonna up there in the top 3 announcers of all time, with Gordon Solie and the guy from Chicago (I remember him, but not his name. Jack Brickhouse?)

JR should have left 2 years ago. He has been nothing but one mistake after another in that time period and honestly it has only hurt his rep as a legend behind the booth. I loved his work with the early WCW product, and he was great as the voice of the fans during the Attitude Era...but something changed when Attitude died and they brought back gimmicky people. JR wanted to create an embelish the JR gimmick of a BBQ, Sooner-Lovin', Deep South Commentator. And once he tried to be mroe then he was, he lost everything he had been. Fairwell JR, it's only a shame you didn't "Go Sooner(s)"

Kanes return..


Kane could choke toss Steve williams over the top rope. Then chokeslam him through a table. AND THEN tombstone him on the steel steps.. im a f'n genius!





Then bitch slap J.R..

and kick him in the nuts..



~~~INSTANT HEEL HEAT~~~




As for J.R. Will always be remembered for his glory days years ago, became stale and almost like a characture of himself over the years. Sad really, he was still a good commentator though. Im not going to buy him leaving WWE soon though, i think he'll get his job back sooner or later.

i like JR.

but he is old school, and the move back to whichever station they're on now, I think is good to culminate in a new announcing style.

My favourite JR. commentaries:
Mankind VS Taker - hell in a cell.
Commentating on Steve Austin - "Ston cold, stone cold, stone cold!
WMXX - triple threat match.


it will be different without JR around thats 4 sure...I hope jerry lawler moves along soon too
