Off the Record with Jim Ross (Part 3)

[paulandj]

You promote your cookbook by telling a story of your mother dying of a heart attack from those very recipes, Git r done JR.

[sevadaj]

Michael Landsberg is an ass-hole!

[sitch43]

the greatest commentator to ever live

[Querymonger]

hey wow lol

[CLewey44]

The notion that JR is the best announcer ever is not automatic. I always really enjoyed Monsoon, Ventura and Heenan. JR is great but those others mentioned were awesome too in their own right. McMahon was a good announcer too.

[statlerbrotherfan]

Is J. R. still part of WWE as V.P. talent Relations?

[brockerhoff]

@statlerbrotherfan nope.

[solo13th]

@statlerbrotherfan i think its HHH now

[liquid49286]

JR isnt just going to work each day, he IS the work each day.

[KissMeImPunk]

I wish Austin never had that neck injury..nothing against Owen it's just Austin would've been able to do alot more.

[julianwhitee]

the interviewer gets alot of crap for interupting, and ofcourse that's a bad thing but he is really on of the few interviewrs that asks very thought out qouestions

[KaiserSoze679]

Haha so, americans think beer containers have a sexual orientation, and don't know the difference between a continent and a nation... but OUR education system is failing. Interesting thought, but look at what country spawned "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader", and continues to be able to run it (due to low prize pay-outs). Oh, wait... economics is probably over your heads.

[KaiserSoze679]

@SuperDerekShort Jealous? Of what? It's such a typical thing for the morons of the world to just assume everyone's jealous of them. Newsflash asshole, we aren't that far away. If we wanted to be Americans, we would be... but we don't, cause we live in the greatest country in the world. Oh, and PS... if you think the word 'keg' is somehow gay, well, I guess next time you drink a beer you better get it in a bottle and practice your deep-throating you self righteous piece of shit.

[ghghjfgrt45]

@KaiserSoze679 haha "Newsflash asshole, we arent that far away. If we wanted to be Americans, we would be...but we don't,"

NEWS FLASH ASSHOLE...Canada is on the North American continent so technically you are american dumbass. I guess they dont have maps in canada. Or mabye they do, its just that your stupid and cant read one, either way the the school system in what you call the greatest country in the world has failed you miserably.

[10Modo]

@ghghjfgrt45 HAHAHAHA...This guy thinks North America is a country! Wow....quite the school system indeed. It's because of fools like you that the whole world considers Americans to be stupid and ignorant.

[ghghjfgrt45]

how do i think north america is a country? how do you get that from this comment? hahaha you are fucking stupid. My point is Canada and The United States are both on the North American continent making both people from the US and Canada Americans. Its the same as Germans and Belgiums (or any other country on the European continent) are all European. Saying your a dumb American when your from Canada is like a German calling a person from belgium a dumb European.

[vancitypoet]

i wish he'd get some bad ass no nonsense kinda guy on there who, as soon as he got nterupted....just got up and smoked landsberg on the nose.

[Celinancc1701]

JR didn't want to say too much about the Macho Man cause he piped Stephanie, OOOOHHHH YEAH, DIG IT!

[Altezza447]

@Celinancc1701 @Celinancc1701 never said what he did but that was most likly what happened she was 14 at the time that why vince dnt want put him on hof

[SuperDerekShort]

The Keg? Sounds like a total canadian fag joint. fuck canada. jealous mother fuckers.

[thefriendsociety]

J.R is badass, he rules as comennator I'd like to see him come back and I'd like to see an actual heel commentator king or paul heyman instead of that insult to commentators michael cole

[hbk2hhh]

im telling you guys go to pwi top 500 wrestlers hardly any of them make sense its definetly not ring skills like i thought must be popularity check it out

[ResidentBigEvil]

jeeezus, adam landsberg is terrible... who the hell gave this guy a show?

[mattydee86]

@ResidentBigEvil what show are you watching? his name is Michael

[diablo313]

I'm sure JR loves the interview process for young women wrestlers.

[BuddhaShiva1]

a great guy

[HuskerFanatic]

@BuddhaShiva1 I love JR but I'm just saying, not everyone does. Road Dogg (yes THE Road Dogg) can't stand him. Now granted from what I've seen of the Dogg on shoots he comes off as bitter, but what I'm saying is not EVERYONE loves JR.

[f9hunter]

wow Jr said to Michael "no sir" thats alot of respect

[ChaostheClown]

@f9hunter you can totally tell he was raised with good manners in a bit of an oldschool fashion, which is great. I suppose that's why they call him Good Ol' JR. He's just an all around good guy.

[scruffy2112]

@ChaostheClown Not judging a man but, I lived in Westville High in Okla. And have known him for years and he is a major pervert and I mean more than regular stuff, I mean strange.

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

@scruffy2112 : Details, please!!!

[19duhart]

@scruffy2112 thats a lie and i know that for a fact

[newyorkrican08]

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

[P3nnybags]

@newyorkrican08, he had a relapse with Bell's Palsy.

[looder22]

@P3nnybags GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!

[ktsucks1]

@newyorkrican08 he retired u stupid fukn little bitch

[RMilvae]

that interviewer is such an asshole...fuck him...iron shiek needs to humble him..."I FUCK YOU IN YOUR ASS"

[Tackzi]

LOL

[bobolob]

I don't know about you guys but now I just wanna get a steak from the The Keg Steakhouse and Bar!

[surenopimp]

LOL

[kirkwanglers32]

Pro Wrestlers do get Hurt.

I met Bret Hart In Canada,my Hero.

The outcome is Known,Wrestlers get hurt 100 Stiches -All.

[Natalya1sFit]

lol my uncle is a cardiologist so my aunt can live on smackdown smores and piledriver pork chops

[WinterSoilder]

@Natalya1sFit LoL nice.

[HugeDickNick]

Kurt Angle problem is he doesnt know whats good for his own body, He works so hard and hurts so bad.

[Pragmort]

You're stating a plain a simple fact that no one could reasonably argue with, however I don't think you can account for the amount of pride that he has as a performer. Some might bring up the big pay day he had for WrestleMania 19, but if he wasn't so driven to be acknowledged as the very best to lace up the boots, surely money couldn't compete with having a quality of life after wrestling.

[bogans4truth]

lol! my mom made the best bbq sauce in the world....... until she died of a heart attack.

[danielkayfabe]

I understand people not liking Michael Landsberg. I like him because very few members of the "non wrestling media" do the research that Landsberg does. You can tell he understands the business.

[faithfulgirl82]

I like JR. Pretty good, solid guy. Also like him as announcer/commentator, but Heenan probably goes above him in my book.

[danielkayfabe]

This show is still on in Canada. They just haven't had a wrestler on in a while. Raw is in Toronto next week so they will film new ones.

[faithfulgirl82]

Great to hear this show is still on... as much as I'm not a fan of Michael Landsberg, I like his interviews with wrestlers.

[BrandonNicholasBurge]

They had Taylor Wilde from TNA on there in July

[christheferal]

listen carefully, JR says "groom them" or "groom him" or something at around 7:45 when the music fades out. LMAO!

[wyllie4281]

Is this show still running? wrestling sucks ass now these candid interviews about the old days are quality.

[m0tl3ysl4y3r]

I agree with you, I have always enjoyed these episodes of Off The Record

[jdeleo926]

What about Gorilla Monsoon

[newfiemale25]

Good Ole J.R thx for the upload

[arnez8706]

JR is THE GREATEST WRESTLING ANNOUNCER OF ALL TIME POINT BLANK PERIOD

[mymatebone]

I prefer Joey Styles but hats off to JR

[charliesalami]

J.R. is the greatest i dont know what the WWE would do without him. He started out with Gordon Solie and definitely surpassed him to become the greatest commentator of all time Gordon would be so proud of him.

[mawriz]

LOL JR is so funny, smart, and witty.

[rudenoodle]

"Beautiful item's"

Fucking classic.

[TruSoldier143JC]

Is it just me or could anyone else see JR doing Monday Night Football? He did very well for the XFL when it was going!

[ancestron]

Would be better than Tony Korn-holer thats for sure.

[johnnyman100]

hell ya

[Ryu2o4]

JR is the Madden Of Wrestling.

[pvtweaver]

madden of wrestling....I like it! I'll use it!

[Gateway0807]

hes not the madden of wrestling where is the JR 2009 wrestling video game HUH?? JR is garbage

[ancestron]

you have no idea what you just said. If I see you in real life I'm gonna kick your ass.

[Gateway0807]

yeah thats tough talk thru a computer i might add your a nig

[WickedClownCarnival]

Nooo..... People respect JR

[Gateway0807]

LOL not even close lol...

[pvtweaver]

not really my comment to begin with but, JR is the lovable commentator that a big wwe show wouldn't be the same without. think big show, who do you want to voicing it...Micheal Cole? Mike Tenay? Don West? Tony Shivoni? Taz? Todd Grisham? Nope, JR and the King Jerry Lawler...

[MrY2a]

jrs the best announcer without a doubt!

[Ryu2o4]

The Best Hands Down.

[BBX118]

Absolutely, no question.

[melbz1266]

if they really cared they would have held kurt out.

[Gateway0807]

I agree JR is lieing just like the rest of the company people think JR is so good he sits behind that little desk every week and screams

"The RattleSnake The RattleSanke" LOL he repeats himself and gets loud so often

I also agree with your post, the WWE is only intreste din the money thats why all of them are helath wised messed up

[RimlandThesis]

landsburg's reporting is this new age shit of interupting guests...but it's still good interviews with these WWE guests.

[nkslnkvl]

i havent liked landsberg at all in these interviews, but his question about "Would you hire JR today" was such a good point, that i have to give ole Lanny some credit...its the same thing that fucked up the Real World on MTV

[maximusthegay]

ur the man Gerry D! where r all the rf videos?

[NoBrianNoGain]

Did you find them? I would like to find them all again...

[ashleybound]

To anyone who has doubts, would you rather listen to J.R., who has years of experience, or Paul Heyman, who doesnt have that much, concerning Steve Austin?

[trashers4cashers]

JR says austin left due to health and personal issues....but in paul hayman interview he cited it was his in ring character usage

[YamiSilaas]

im not one hundered percent sure jr is completley trustable. He is kindof like vinces lapdog, paul on the other hand has no reason not to tell the truth.

[trashers4cashers]

very true

[normandale1987]

I don't know...I think JR knows Austin a lot better than Heyman. If I have a question about Austin, JR seems like the guy who would have the best answer.

[Woohoo5241]

J.R.'s honesty and integrity is unquestionable and unmatchable. Ross may not be telling the entire truth here due to the sensitive nature of his then-job (Senior VP of Talent Relations), but he's not a liar or a fudger.

[YamiSilaas]

I dont know about that. Hes lied and cheated his way before. Theres no such thing as an honest man in wrestling.

[LarimusPrime]

He's a lying piece of shit, just like Vince.

[Woohoo5241]

JR's very pubicly differed from Vince on a NUMBER of issues.

[ryanroolz2]

both are true

austin had many health problems and injuries which means he wud not of bin able to wrestle for much longer but he did walk about because of the character thing he didnt want to work with (and lie down for) brock lesner

[hotboy872000]

Lita and Trish are the Greatest Female Wrestlers of All Time.

[joshbradybuddy]

I think JR is on the juice here.

[chshaw87]

if you listen carefully at the end, michael obviously asks him something to do with his future or something, cos ross says 'i've hired john laurintis....i'm sorting groom him'

[MrPragmatism]

This guy is a legend

[Khalifornia]

JR talks just like he writes his blogs... he talks/writes a lot, but doesn't say really much.

Keep on cheating!

[AngleSlam76]

I love OTR thanks for uploading!

[starlifter03]

He's not a wrestler dumb fuck.

[jswags]

Hey genius...JR is announcer on TV and involved in management behind the scenes.And if you're going to insult someone, at least learn how to spell correctly

[LeaderOfTheFlock]

if your mom or dad had bells palsy they'd look like that too or maybe worse. Big ups to JR for having the courage to still be on camera.

DUMBASS

[MusclesRUS56]

hell ya!

[michaelbrandon96500]

@LeaderOfTheFlock dude well played... whoever is giving JR abuse is a dick

[LeaderOfTheFlock]

@michaelbrandon96500 Thanks Bro! Just can't stand people who down talk other people who has the courage to be themselves while they sit behind a PC and take shots at people to make em feel cool....... WHAT A JOKE!!

[NWpowerhouse85]

@LeaderOfTheFlock It's noticable for sure, but it's not even like he looks like a freakshow or anything, but regardless, your comment got a thumbs-up from yours truly

[orichimaru244]

da fuck is wrong wit you man damn

[zachw1014]

J.R is a fucking legend!

[DeadSilence2009]

I miss Kurt Angle in the wwe =( and the rock but they wont ever come back..

[julianwhitee]

@DeadSilence2009 rock did come back :)

[akuma4u]

at 3:13 we will see that retirement match for austin at wrestlemania 25, it would be cool if it was against the undertaker. (or hogan which is highly unlikely, or the rock)

[PizzaguylolXD]

JR seems like a guy that'd be fun to just sit down, have a beer with, and watch football or baseball or something.

[KTKore]

So true. Seems like a really friendly down-to-earth kind of guy.

[slvrangel1122]

JR enjoys the process of interviewing young women? This guy sounds like a pervert, I think authorities should investigate...that sounds creepy

[mikefl9190]

agree slvr-he did sound like an dirty old pervert with that

[ScreenFlavour]

most of the guys in the wwe are

[sambill]

fair play to JR he never ducked a question and the answers he gave where honest

[sheptropremix]

JR is an awesome announcer, definitely the best. But he looks like he's not even moving his mouth when he talks lol

[FearsEdge]

Bell's palsy.

[jonpgonzales]

i really don't see how thats funny.

[ToNi9992]

The person probably didn't know he had a problem with the left side of his face

[shimz1]

i love the fact that J.R's life isn't totally moulded around wrestling

[blaster710]

It seems like the host actually liked/respected JR, figuring this is the first time he didn't interrupt him when he was speaking.

[nikmiktrik]

2003

[patzcool]

when was this interview taken?

[mcgoo421]

Sounds like 2003.

[kortexdelrio]

It is 2003 cuz JR spoke about Goldberg and Jericho at Badblood... He also mensionned Chris Benoit, Booker T and Kurt Angle... And Austin s biography did came out in november 2003 (wikipedia)... Sounds 2003 to me...

[DTMTroy]

i wonder if this neck fusion thing is going well with tazz i'd love tazz to come back as an athlete and just come out whooping ass on someone

[mathias1211]

taz has back problems and wont return

[magicbus333]

idk i never thought hbk would return so maybe in a couple years taz will

[realdoogie]

its aboot the recipes

[G3rron]

lol i love the interview process. JR is a undercover pervert lol king atleast is vocal about it

[tGbgangsta]

I can stand fags like you. all i was doing was pointing out is that J.R. made a good point so why are you trying to start shit over the internet punk ass bitch!

[bizzybez]

too bad this show doesnt interview wwe nemore wish there was a way to hear these real stories on anotehr show..

[tGbgangsta]

I like when J.R. sayed that it kind of aggaverates him when people think wrestling is fake, these guys are not athletes, they dont get hurt wrong, wrong, wrong, because i feel the same fucking way J.R. is fucking great in this interview.

[WWEFanatic2007]

OTR has had alot of wrestlers on the show and even though the host can be a bit of a douche at times they are still pretty good interviews.

[HipHop24Seven2]

not anymore tho, since TSN's deal with WWE has expired about 1-2 years ago. So no more WWE wrestlers comin to OTR oh well the ride was good while it lasted.

[NBKDrifter]

where is part 2?

[GerryDisthename]

Part 2 appears for me on the side. If you don't see it just click on my profile and you'll find it there.
