Off the Record with Jim Ross (Part 1)

[johnitodx]

0:45 I´M SOrry, Very Hilarious

[MikeEzko1]

Always good to see Good O'l J.R.

[MrDko9873]

the pace of otr is way too fast

[Mack7395]

JR is still in wwe. But hes not an announcer anymore.

[maktaloz]

anyone know what year this was made?

[ThePluss182]

wow and they fired him again for all the stuff he does for the wwe and they still treat him like shit wow really fuck you wwe if tna didnt still suck i'd watch it

[RedSoxNation92]

fired twice means your on your 3rd "chance" J.R.

[125possom]

Wow..i never knew JR had that much power backstage

[RemoteCellularUnlock]

@125possom JR has one of the best minds for the wrestling biz..

[cantstopsweeper]

@RemoteCellularUnlock

In the words of the Miz REALLY?

[cantstopsweeper]

@125possom

too much if you ask me.

[becomeaprowrestler]

Since Jim Ross headed talent relations for years in the WWF/WWE, he knows about the flaws which aspiring wrestlers have. It is interesting to see the types of wrestlers which were brought in during his tenure as talent relations head versus those brought in by subsequent personnel in that role.

[darbnamrehs]

I wish this lazy-faced racist was never brought back.

[Wrath0fPlatypus]

Ross is a wrestling genius*

If him and Heyman coulda made a show together, that would have been the greatest*

[schooldaze21]

glad they brought Jim Ross back

[BlackDiamond77100]

good ol jr is the man

[GangiFilms]

GOOD OL JR JIM ROSS

[leftyfourguns]

Interesting hearing JR talking about trying to get Sting in. I know this was like 8 years ago but I think Sting would still be great in the WWE. Drop that stupid Joker ripoff thing he's trying to do with old man Hogan and match him up with Undertaker at next years Wresltemania!

[kbdemonbain]

this just shows that the stone cold and the rock era was just one of a kind

[Sabreboy48]

Sable's obvious attributes haha

[EmtyThe1st]

"When you have a Primary Demographic of males 18-34"

LOL IRONY

[252Dazz252]

@EmtyThe1st Yup, now the primary demographic is 0-8.

[brockheinz]

1:19 what is he talking about he called damien demento an asshole and awsome kong fat. Both may be true but was alienating them nevertheless

[springblend]

6:57 '' I think for only Just 10 million ''

ahhhhhh priceless, forgive and forget

[liquid49286]

Judge Mills Lane called... he wants his line back

[julianwhitee]

He barley moves his mouth when he talks

[lionslicer9999]

@julianwhitee he suffers from bells palsy, it paralyzes parts of your face

[cantstopsweeper]

@lionslicer9999

apparently it also paralyzed his brain otherwise we wouldn't see him put so many rookie talents in the main events prematurely.

[mrbluto3]

Fuck Oklahoma.

[mrkingt]

@mrbluto3 what do you say that? oklahoma is the greatest place to live in the world. Oklahoma Sooners football one of the finest in history. not the Okc Thunder in the NBA is a exciting team to watch. Jim Ross is the greatest announcer he's knowledge is far beyond anyones.

[AJCM3]

@mrkingt Jim ross is the best thing outta Oklahoma. The Thunder stole Seattle's NBA team.

[turnstylezdrumming]

HA JR is pretty funny!!!

[jnashification]

Wow anyone else get creeped out when JR said "lets get it on"

[bamjungle]

Landsberg is shoooortt! Anyway, I like JR's Play-by-Play style yet Mean Gene was better.

[bamjungle]

Landsberg is shoooortt!

[Mizzarrk]

the cookbook guy ......

[matrix4022]

I could listen to JR talking about wrestlers and their history all day long.

[SuperDerekShort]

The Keg? Sounds like a fucking canadian fag joint

[azariah15]

@SuperDerekShort That's a stupid comment. Nothing but ignorance. How is the name of the restaurant "The Keg" linked to a fag joint? If you said a place frequented by college/university fraternities, that would make sense.

[Mist27]

@SuperDerekShort You're a fat, ignorant American piece of shit. You're such an idiot that you can't even realize that Canada is a better country than the US.

[stopballclapping420]

@Mist27 if it wasnt for us americans you faggot ass french ppl wouldnt even be alive so stfu

[jimbofairc]

@stopballclapping420 if it wasn't for the french, america would probably still be ruled by the british, call it returning a favour.

[seattlehawkins]

@jimbofairc I'll take being British over being DEAD! You Dirty French Fuck!  XD

[jimbofairc]

@seattlehawkins Ha i am british mate, just helping people remember their history before having ago at each other. By returning a favour i meant that the french helped the americans then vice a versa.

[seattlehawkins]

@jimbofairc Sacre Bleu!

[MRRHINO619]

when was this interview ?

[BudlightBuzzin]

TNA is getting better. Don't think they'll be any competition for WWE, but they are getting better. TNA is still pretty corny, but it's raised it's bar. hehehe!!!

[triplejpm]

wow, a good idea? don't fire the guy who was pretty much dead on with everything that was going to happen in the future. fuck I mean, It's not like thats good understanding and knowledge in the buisness Xp

[VinnyLT9000]

STFU JR. go drink your fucking barbeque sauce.. you screwed booker t all the way to tna

[jayW817]

@VinnyLT9000 yeh im sure your happy with michael cole the fag that dont shut up!!!!!! GOOD OLE JR RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LordBodycount]

BALANCE?!?! On a two hour show your lucky if you get 4 matches, the rest of the time its nothing but talk or backstage BS

[killabuffalo]

I wonder if Jim Ross could do hockey? I would love him to be hired by TSN

[alexmackovjak]

good ol jr

[hbk2hhh]

@Darkstar27100 he did get a push not till 7 years later bull shit

[MrVinlak]

Thumbs up if you want 'good old' JR back!

[theunholycrown666]

@MrVinlak J.R was the best announcer in WWE history. I miss hearing his voice. He announced with so much passion, unlike the bland ramblings of Michael Cole. Not that I have watched WWE for a number of years.

[destructodisk]

jim ross is better than michael cole

[ChiknThighTatorPie]

@destructodisk I miss old michael cole, the one who used to be with tazz

[caramico71]

@destructodisk well no shit

[ChickenFriedHamMan]

Jim Ross is and always will be, THE MAN

[arlichar11]

wow.. if i had chance to talk with jr, i wouldnt waste time with subjects like booker t ,goldberg and sable lol..

[natedogs212]

J.R. was an awesome announcer for the WWF/WWE. He was great with the microphone.

[xndrh]

man i wish that legend was still behind the announcer's table

[natedogs212]

@xndrh hell ya!! he needs to be back behind the announcer's table for sure

[DarkMoonGeneral]

Love JR him and Jerry The King are the best announces for the WWF-WWE

[Tryztan]

@DarkMoonGeneral 2nd best. Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon where and will always be the best in the business.

[DarkMoonGeneral]

@Tryztan

I like their chemistry they are very funny but there are others that are good as well :)

[ColorsBright]

@Tryztan I started watching wrestling in the late 80s early 90s and my teen years were with JR and The King and they were always my favorite but I do have to agree with you, Bobby Heenan and Gorilla are probably the best. I also did really enjoy Vince doing commentary as well.

[AdamiZnoGouD]

@ColorsBright Yeah i would have to agree.. For our era, and our time, JR and King were amazing. But Monsoon And Heenan will always be LEGEND!

P.S. Comeback J.R. ]:

[ExtremeBogom]

Hate this Mike guy. What a douche. Acts interested but then interupts.

[dylanrocks83]

I HATE that he cute him off of Sting to move on to Savage and Sable

[johnissoevil]

WWE was much better when JR was senior VP of Talent relations. Nobody got released unless they absolutely deserved to get fired. The only reason his successor, John Laurenaitis, is even in the wrestling business in the first place is because he is Road Warrior Animal's brother. Laurenaitis sucked as a wrestler and he sucks as head of Talent Relations.

[shawndx100]

wow i hate watching michael landsberg interviews because he keeps interupting his guests before they finish answering his question wow

[jfizzay]

JR should host this show.

[FilmMakar]

Jim Ross is a wrestling king.

[CraigWeir1986]

the streak would have been 'hard to do'.....bullshit JR, Levesque flat out said he wouldnt let that happen on Raw, and Taker wouldnt let it happen on Smackdown...

[Dud512]

@CraigWeir1986 I think Taker would do it more likely than Triple H

[RubberClits]

@CraigWeir1986 Ummm...okay...so it was hard to do...why are you complaining...?

[240ups]

Hank Hill talks wrestling, "I tell you WHAT!"

[ermonski]

BAH GAWD KING! JR'S ON OFF THE RECORD! BAH GAWD!!!

BUSINESS HAS PICKED UP!!

[CraigWeir1986]

@ermonski poor attempt at getting 'thumbs up''

[ermonski]

@CraigWeir1986 LOL

[xps28]

holy crap....watch landsberg's smile and tell me that South Park doesn't have their portrayal of canadians spot on. =D

[KELLSONIC]

how long ago was this

[weatheredtome]

Wish he would have dug a bit more with the Randy Savage issue.

[bricksmma]

Looks like he rolling a blunt

[PCJ27imagination]

Lansberg is a good and smart interviewer. He just talks too much...seriously, out of respect...ppl want to hear the the guest more.

[TehQuestion75]

Fucking douche!

I wanted to continue to hear what JR said about Sting!!!

[antsman88]

"we do whats best for the product!. SO WHY DON'T YOU BRING MACHO MAN BACK!?!?!?!?!?

[creedstruth]

@antsman88 Cause Macho Man has dimensia he dont remember what hes doing , hes in bad mental shpae , and cant do much physical hes over 50 years old...

[MrGlasspider]

what about ultimate idiot? They gave him 3 or 4 chanses.

[killalotus]

"listen very closely.....lets get it on" best line opening a show ever

[Astrocracker]

Simply the best for 20 plus years. Only an unfortunate battle with bells palsy keeps him off television.

[newyorkrican08]

yooo why they took jim ross off of tv??? ARE THEY CRAZY!!! SOMEBODY LET ME KNOW WHAT GOING ON???!!!!!

[WhereverTheyMayRoam0]

@newyorkrican08 JR is off TV cos he got another attack of Bells Poursy

[chrisz31974]

Another bout with Bell's Palsy

[dgenx210]

@chrisz31974 3rd time now actually

[creedstruth]

He pissed off stephanie ...

He wouldnt go along with there bullshit storylines.

[AlexDCl]

JRs awesome.

[TheHockeyCentral]

Funn how JR's voice somewhat changes when he is announcing and when he is just answering questions.

[josh692004]

jr is a great announcer, but i did love king and vince, king sucks now he doesnt announce the same not very heel like and he dresses like a middleaged queer...but my all time fav is gorilla monsoon and jesse ventura

[bloodsling]

yep,mid 80's-early 90's wwe kicked ass

[BigGreen486]

What about the attitude era and very early 2000?

[shimmerknockout]

Wow The Guy Who Interviews Jim Ross Interups Way Too Much

[funksta818]

JR is my favorite person in the wrestling buisness that was not a wrestler.

[metricmel]

Bussiness is about to pickup ladies and gentlemen!!! lol

[vinskiiiii]

Jim Ross is a fat and ugly motherfucker. he criticized Tony Halme who just died, and that to me is just pathetic.

[figo1rulz1]

umm hey geniuss

this interview was in 2003

[DimebagVision]

Jim Ross is good, but overrated as hell.

[MrJJohnson420]

I like JR , but i think the best announcers were the King and Vince back in the day

[MJSpiritual]

Landsberg lost his voice. Thats God telling him not to fucking interrupt the guests hahaha!!

[SAM7169]

@MJSpiritual - That is soo true.

[nilesrules666]

@MJSpiritual Nah I'm glad he does that, he's a brilliant interviewer.

[gunshot65]

@MJSpiritual YES!@

[bluewarrior54]

WWEs demographic was 18 to 34 year old males back then. wat is it now? 7 to 12 year olds lol man what happend?

[DimebagVision]

WWE turned into a pubically traded company, meaning the board of directors don't want another "attitude era," and investors are just stupid.

[TheBoss90011]

i liked the combination of paul heyman and jr

[chrisz31974]

Me too, very underrated

[cDayz]

As good as Tod Grishem & Matt Striker are I really hope JR comes back its not the same with out him. Is it true Coach is coming back to the WWE?

[twistedkatana1]

i hate to say matt striker kocked it out the park last night at TLC. way better than cole and even lawler. jerry has really lost it.

[MexicanSeadude]

the king was so much better when he cheered for the heels

[dpistons149]

@MexicanSeadude Thats right.Jr rooted for faces and the king heels

[Chewyfied]

@MexicanSeadude Yeh and Michael Cole is a twat.

[jimsnider34]

Does anyone have the OTR interview with Flair? I have not seen it on Youtube yet

[MrBabz71]

I miss J.R. & Schavonnie announcing together.

[Mrblancnoir]

JR is I think the most over-rated wrestling commentator of all time. Listen to Geno Monsoon, and Jesse the Body. They make JR look terrible. Way to much unnecessary screaming and way to much "damn it to hell". Too over the top

[PuttyNathan]

Why was jim ross fired twice?

[prototype00000]

@PuttyNathan

cos vince mcmahon is a dumb prick

[blesstv]

good ol JR

[KISSfan888]

what?! he's the best commentator in the history of sports dude!

[sskats]

I thought the WCW guys were way better. They hyped the matches so much more and better.

[efonzerellie]

after Bobby the Brain Heenan of course

[MrTheLAJ]

@drillsergeantregan

J.R. has done more for the wrestling business than 98% of others who have been in it.

[pineappleexpresion]

wat ive been jammin jt since 89 dude you must be a baby im 27

[spider486]

jr is AWESOME one of the best WWE announcers in history

[colster4life]

Fight that bells palsy like a true Oklahoman tough son of a gun!

[pbgmt]

i love jr

[stylinhawaiian7]

I thought JR was gonna say "Business is about to pick up" at the very beginning. I love Jim Ross man. Ross is boss. End of story.

[beatlegreg07]

same here. i woulda put money on it!

[Jericho2k7]

I hope JR gets better.

[chrisgangsta]

why is jr on smackdown

[9slipknot6]

cuz of the 09 draft

[TeflonBTM]

I hate that entire breed of wrestlers..punk,hardy,morrison­,cena,jesus wtf happened to wrestling???only guys that aren't old school that I can stomach are orton and maybe triple h..edge is good 2,and thats really it,poor quality now a days.

[edvhou812]

HHH has been around for quite awhile now. He arrived in WWE in the mid-90s. Crap, it may have been before that. HHH is getting close to old school now.

[TeflonBTM]

oh yes you're right,debuted around 94ish with WCW.I like Orton and wat legacy has to offer,Edge puts up quality matches,just miss some of the Beniot,Angle,even Lesnar main events.that recent stuff had quality front runners,now its...gross.

[darkrazor23]

well u can only say cena because punk< morrison and hardy are good wrestlers they had good matches with triple h and edge and orton

[TeflonBTM]

well in that case maybe I should rephrase wat I said.ok ill give u that morrison,punk and hardy are talented,unfourtanetly,they all just flat out don't entertain me.I watch they're matches and I get bored,.

[InstantClazzik]

ok, first off Punk is phenomenal. Straight edge lifestyle and a great worker & money on the mic. John Morrison is a awesome performer and is insanely athletic! Like him or bot, Cena is a horrible wrestler, but a good entertainer and great for making sure the WWE lives on and does alot for charities (I'm not a fan of his ring work)

As for Jeff Hardy,,,waste of talent and a royal druggy...I hate that guy

[TeflonBTM]

Yes as I stated they are talented.But just because one is talented,does not mean they entertain me.IMO punk/morrison/hardy are boring to watch in the ring,I cant even watch those guys wrestle the wrestlers I like.And I may be alone on everything I say,but Cena is bad for the WWE,thats why its gone to shit now,same way WCW pushed Jeff Jarrett,just because you push a guy and stick the strap on em doesn't make him good.annoying to watch HHH win the belt over and over but fuck.rather that. then Cena

[InstantClazzik]

oh yea I agree with you, what I find entertaining is different from what you find, and that's the beauty of this sport! =) Ya Cena and his little "Superman" gimmick is exactly like the JJ of WCW. Honestly if you look at RAW now and Nitro of the past...there is little difference, which is a very bad thing. I too would rather see ANYONE but Cena hold the belt...Cena is stale and not entertaining in my eyes.

[ColorsBright]

@InstantClazzik I always say that WWE seems more like WCW than WWF. Have been saying that for many years now.

[chazatlas]

@ColorsBright - well unfortunately there is no competition (WCW) like before. so actually WWE is reverting back to their really cheesy roots of the late 80's-early 90's.

[IBrandedHater]

If u prefer the old days then watch old matches. I do.

[TeflonBTM]

me too man,all the time,just takes me back to my childhood.its refreshing

[IBrandedHater]

Its funny too because I always find somthing I've never seen befor.

For me The Austin and Rock rivalry was the best thing to happen in wrestling.

[TeflonBTM]

ya man,hbk vs hart at wrestlemania 12,hbk vs razor 2x in a ladder match,the 1st ever hell in a cell,casket matches with the undertaker from back in the day,wtf is that elimination chamber bullshit lol

[IBrandedHater]

No, if it had the wrestlers from that attidue era in it XD

[kyledubrule]

so you hate morrison and cm punk but you like orton and triple h those 2 are the reason for the most of problems with todays wrestling and what about the undertaker he's great same with shawn micheals

[TeflonBTM]

yes they are 2 of my top 10 fave wrestlers.and yes Orton and Triple H may be the root of the problems,but I legitimately enjoy watching them wrestle,as for punk/morrison/hardy/cena,I just don't,but hey,to each his own.

[xxxragexxx40965]

heh When he said big jewish fel i thought he meant Big jewish fail for a minute lol

[ant8tfive]

landsberg rules

[geoffsmellsbad]

lol jr was gettin more n more pissed off with that douche landsberg

[CharlieChaz82]

Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker saved the last Wrestlemania and they are both old school. Bret Hart was a good wrestler and i liked Stone Cold's personality and character. I quite like Jericho he is one of the only ones who still relatively young and has made a great impact. Don't like Orton or any of the others really...The young talent that Jr talks about isn't really up to much. I agree that wrestling was better 15+ years ago.

[TNACrossTheLineFan]

only reason that match was awesome was cause They did what THEY wanted to do ;)

[howlinbayer]

Well wont disagree that much but you are forgetting one guy: John Morisson. He will be big time one day and that day isnt that far away. Many people see him as the next Shawn Michaels and he could be it. What he does in the ring no one else does at the time now in WWE as far as i can see. Hes just amazing and will be THE next superstar. Maybe he will start a new era. Lets just hope for it.

[TheHitMeister]

Howlinbayer... dude I agree with you..John Morisson is a great performer, being with MNM gave his some persona, but once he went solo he was really nmoticable.. he is able to do anything in the ring, and great to watch wrestle, he is really entertaining.. the guy got a excellent build..I've always thought he would be a great "Steve Fox" in Tekken, IF thye made it intop a movie, but they chose another.

[diablo254]

i havent seen john morrison wrestle since the breakup with the miz... so i kinda cant estimate his ability...... i think there are alot of guys in the wwe who can be very popular in the wwe but with john cena, batista, bug show etc takin the spotlight.... these great talent like kofi kingston, chris masters, etc dont get the fame they deserve....

[TravisDrago]

Landsburg is such a dick

[JPREZ615]

Michael "The Interruptor" Landsberg!

[firekind1980]

always amazed how people can find sable attractive.

[TNACrossTheLineFan]

I think she's pretty hot still lol

[NiggadaumHistory]

lol thats funny, king used to play the perverted announcer, but in reality he's a pretty honest family guy, atleast now, but in jr is really the perv lol

[imblahhblahh]

u have to be able to work a mic in wreslting..if u dont have the skills on the mic u will not make it very far...i mean of course there are exceptions to the rule..but over all..u need the mic skills

[egonsziggypengler]

goldberg is not very good at wrestling

[smudgeVIW]

damn sight better than batista.
