andrewjacksonbr Yeah, everybody talks about how wonderful and compassionate Jan was, traffic accidents are one of those horrible tragedies that can happen to almost anyone practically anywhere. Breaks my heart!
Good ol JR has given us lifelong sayings and moments, but personally as a fan from his early days of WCW till his podcast now, it's a shame but also a testament to his strength to suffer the loss of his wife in the horrific way he did allow me to say thank you Jim Ross for being the voice of many generations.
Imagine Jim Ross at Christmas dinner. It's shaping up to be a hell of a slobber knocker there's roasties, stuffing and turkey and BAH GAWD DAD JUST TOOK THE LAST PIECE OF TURKEY. WHY DAD!? NOT THIS WAY. SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MEAL!
BY GAWD HE JUST DESTROYED THAT PLATE OF FOOD, THAT TURKEY IS GONNA KILL HIM, FOR GOODNESS SAKES SOMEBODY GET SOME DAMN TOILET PAPER AND HELP THIS MAN. GOOD GOD AWMIGHTY HE'S FLUSHED THREE TIMES ALREADY, HE'S GONNA BREAK THE TOILET SEAT IN HALF! GOD! OH GOD NO!, HE CLOGGED THE TOILET! ENOUGHS ENOUGH SOMEBODY HELP HIM!
Not only the greatest commentator of all time, but the talent relations executive responsible for signing perhaps the most elite group of WWE Superstars in history. Enough said.
He is so articulate, has such a great command of the English language, great voice. He would have been an accomplished announcer for any professional sport he chose. Fortunately us "wrasstlin" fans got him.
Yes fantastic interview, Mr. Ross is intelligent and entertaining. The amount of road stories and behind the curtain so to speak stories he has are endlessly entertaining. Not to mention he is ensconced in wrestling stories.
Upon first listening I thought they where being terse with the questions regarding his wife's passing. But, you know what? JR just answered the questions without missing the beat and classed up the interview enough for everyone. Best broadcast announcer in *sports* period.
Joseph Burns Well, it's an involuntary physical reaction most people have to tear up if their nose gets legit busted, so I imagine on that level at least he would cry, haha!
JR is such a great person easily the 🐐 of Announcers and talent scout just look at all the Hall of Famers that he has signed so sad what happened to his wife this man has had one hell of a life that is for sure
I was in the hospital for 3 weeks with weird erratic heart beat that slowly got really really low. 25bpm. Anyway, they thought I had Lyme disease and treated it for first week until tests came back. Though unlike JR, they haven’t solved my issues yet but think it’s an auto immune disease. Ended up getting a pacemaker Defibrillator surgery three weeks ago and now feel great. I’m only 35 tho lol
dandjedi jesus, i had lyme and still have the after effects, and i never heard of erratic heart or low bpm being a symptom. I could hardly move and felt my back and bones were broken. Its such a painful feeling. You feel lethargic and just ache everywhere. Hope you feel better bro.
Adam Carbo I ended up having cardiac sarcoidosis. Just noticed I made this post 8 months ago. I’m doing great tho and it’s in remission already from prednisone. Had to get another defibrillator in March tho because the first one had a wire that came loose inside my heart. Life goes on lol.
+Drew Russell there was a few the “left gate open story” was deep as a child I would have never been able to do that also Constant traveling Will take a toll on anybody and marriage
Damn JR is good to listen to but these guys lack of preparation is just annoying. Who is Jim Cornette? What did you do before WWF? How long you been in the business? How long was your wife sick(when she wasnt at all)?? ...JR was nice enough to even indulge this because I would have left.SMH
It's a comedy show, not a professional interview. JR knows Jim is a comic. He also knows Sam is a superfan that works for WWE. If JR wants to sell his book to more than just wrestling fans, then Norton is a great surrogate for a non-wrestling fan audience.
32:53 "Right. Because people are seeing it. But yeah in a way it might hurt too because people might, like you just said, describe the wrong thing too much. Because they think, "Hey you can see everything," so they spend too much time and avoid other things that ya can't see that you might know are necessary to talk about." Jim sounds like Intern David
I hate how JR continuously speaks ‘honestly’, yet ill of the dead, when they aren’t here to defend themselves. Truly the greatest commentator ever in my opinion, a true wrestling legend, but a shit human being. Would he be ok with people constantly doing ‘shoot’ interviews that paint his wife in a negative light? Would that be morally ok over some crap BBQ Sauce with good ol’ Jim whilst we flip burgers by the pool in summer?
I don't think this dude is long for this world. The haggard look, the slurred speech, the frizzled hair and corpse-like face hanging on bone. Then there's the red plaid shirt...
SethMcFartlane to be fair, he's always looked and sounded this way, lol. I listen to his podcast every week, he's handling his wife's passing admirably, he's an inspiration to me.
Jim Ross talking about his wife is gripping and humbling. RIP Mrs Ross
andrewjacksonbr Yeah, everybody talks about how wonderful and compassionate Jan was, traffic accidents are one of those horrible tragedies that can happen to almost anyone practically anywhere. Breaks my heart!
Wow stone cold, the rock and Vince were the first ones to call jr and see if he was ok during what happened to his wife. Good friends to have
Good ol JR has given us lifelong sayings and moments, but personally as a fan from his early days of WCW till his podcast now, it's a shame but also a testament to his strength to suffer the loss of his wife in the horrific way he did allow me to say thank you Jim Ross for being the voice of many generations.
When I saw JR was on, I was thinking this is just Sam fulfilling his wrestling nerd fantasies, but this interview was great! What a good, humble dude.
this is like the 3rd time sam interviewed jim ross.
I'd be interested in hearing what Jim's thoughts were on JR and this segment. Great interview.
a pro wrestling legend ... top notch personality ... could listen to dude for hours
Imagine Jim Ross at Christmas dinner.
It's shaping up to be a hell of a slobber knocker there's roasties, stuffing and turkey and BAH GAWD DAD JUST TOOK THE LAST PIECE OF TURKEY. WHY DAD!? NOT THIS WAY.

Lucas King ?
LMAO !!!
Lucas King Christmas dinner or thanksgiving dinner lol 😂
Lucas King...HAHAHAHA!!!!!! THAT'S FUCKING PERFECT BRO! "Thanksgiving @ the Ross home...guaranteed craziness, & hilarity will ensue!"
Jim Ross ,, that right there is the greatest of all time !🎧🎤
What an enjoyable interview. Haven't watched a minute of wrestling in decades, but will never forget JR's voice and mug. What a class act
It's hard not to like Jim Ross.
Aaron Wood If only you met him in person. Guy’s a two-faced piece of thrash.
how so? Did you meet him?
Legend.
JoeDeceiver thanks man, idk if I'd say im a legend, but Im flattered regardless.
I’ve never heard Jim (Norton) laugh so hard! Way to go JR!
Not only the greatest commentator of all time, but the talent relations executive responsible for signing perhaps the most elite group of WWE Superstars in history. Enough said.
J.R is just so multitalented. It'll be a sad day in the industry when he passes. Pray the day never comes.
God bless you JR, sorry to hear about your lady...
Jim Ross seems like a very down to earth, humble human being. Hopefully i get to meet one of my heroes. Good ol J.R.
What a genuine good dude.
He is so articulate, has such a great command of the English language, great voice. He would have been an accomplished announcer for any professional sport he chose. Fortunately us "wrasstlin" fans got him.
I was ensconced in this interview.
Jim Ross is one of the greatest wrestling announcers of all time, PERIOD!!
Jim Ross is the best. Funny stories in his book.
Jim Ross is a legit wrestling hero and a LEGEND
Yes fantastic interview, Mr. Ross is intelligent and entertaining. The amount of road stories and behind the curtain so to speak stories he has are endlessly entertaining. Not to mention he is ensconced in wrestling stories.
Upon first listening I thought they where being terse with the questions regarding his wife's passing. But, you know what? JR just answered the questions without missing the beat and classed up the interview enough for everyone. Best broadcast announcer in *sports* period.
JR is an inspiration.
Heeee brought it up
"what do you like to do that's non-wrestling"..."tantric sex". good ol' JR.
I've never sat through a cast that long but that was actually worth it. Thank you.
I was sad at the sudden end
Jim Norton = wrestling historian 🤣🤣
BA GAWD KING!
3:38 sweet Lil yimmy's laughter 😂
When he talked about his wife I really had to work to hold back tears. Jesus that's brutal man.
TheBear so did the story at 3:35.
he talked about his wife less then 3 minutes and that made u cry,i wonder what would happen if someone breaks ur nose?
all i was thinkin was why won't he move the charred bike
Joseph Burns Well, it's an involuntary physical reaction most people have to tear up if their nose gets legit busted, so I imagine on that level at least he would cry, haha!
3:27 Ol JR bein sincere and succinct as usual lol.
Jim is always gonna be awesome just like😲🍺🎤🇺🇸Terry Funk
Great Entertaining Interview. Good Old JR Is The Man! Love The Show Sam & Jim!
Jim Ross needs to do one of those Masterclass video series on the business of Wrestling Promotion.
Jocko Adams Jim Ross can’t book shit. All he cares about is college FOOTBAWL to the point it’s embarrassing.
Jim Ross is wrestling to me
MY GOD SKITTLES! FRUITY FRUITY SKITTLES!
GOOD GOD HE JUST BROKE THAT SKITTLE IN HALF! SOMEBODY STOP THIS!
17:05 poor Jim. We love u mister Ross
GOAT = J.R., Love Jim Cornette story. Sam has huge respect for J.R. Gaud King!
learning something new everyday with jr. ensconced.
Bring on Jim Cornette next!
I never realized how important JR was to the business as a whole.
Oh yeah... talent wise, color commentary wise, business wise
The Load Warriors is hilarious!
THE PAPER FACTORY IN LONG ISLAND CITY!!! I WORKED ACROSS THE STREET FOR YEARS!
Good o'l JR what an amazing man almost died when he said if it was yrs earlier i would of smoked a bone maybe he should pot helps alot of things
JR, greatest commentator of all time
Amazing interview.
JR is such a great person easily the 🐐 of Announcers and talent scout just look at all the Hall of Famers that he has signed so sad what happened to his wife this man has had one hell of a life that is for sure
Love good ole JR
"Saw log!"😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Damn, JR looks rough, but that was damn good.
Eisengratz He’s been drinking. Heavily.
Holy shit I’m getting old, look at JR I haven’t seen him in years and boy does this sight make me feel the cold touch of mortality.
JR is really funny when he isnt trying to be inoffensive
JR IS THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO WRESTLING
Exactly
I pray that there's a cure 4 bell's palsy so J.R. can live longer
Robert Brown it’s not fatal.
i thought this thumbnail was just norton making a weird face doing a new character called slobberknocker LOL
Legend. End of.
Can I also post this on my official page?
16:50 nice show prep jim
Awesome FREAKING INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!
Great interview. Very astute questions from Jim and Sam.
thanks for this!!
I remember seeing him referee , He was called Tiger Ross .
MR. JIM ROSS THE GOAT
i love jim ross. i would love to meet him
Saw logs...lmao. JR is the best
Jim Ross is a GOD amongst wrestling color commentary. 🤘🤘🤘
not really, his colour work on Smackdown was rubbish. I think you mean play-by-play. THAT is where he's a divine being
You’d think Jim Norton would be a professional and actually do his research and prep for his guest
I don't know, I honestly like an outsider who doesn't know anything. I find that dynamic very interesting.
@Junior Sanchez I still enjoy it. Having all the ins and outs of wrestling is cool, but I find a fresh sense of wonder to be compelling.
@5:00 minutes "Who is Jim Cornnette?" who is this host? which rock and mountain have they been living under.
That was Jim Norton, he barely knows anything but base level stuff about wrestling, Sam Roberts knows everything though
Jim cornette is that guy who parks people's cars right? Everyone knows him .... 😏
Great podcast:)
Jim "ensconced" Ross
Sure loves the word ensconced.
Wrestlers were pigs with that bed hotel story
Wait a minute...that guy in the background looks like KC from the Howard stern show.
He reminds me of Burnt Crysler
STOP THE DAYM MATCH
HE BROKE HIM IN HALF!!!! LOL
JR could read the phone book and I would listen
I was in the hospital for 3 weeks with weird erratic heart beat that slowly got really really low. 25bpm. Anyway, they thought I had Lyme disease and treated it for first week until tests came back.

OH MY GAHD!
Great stuff!
I’m 6 minutes in, and this interview is fckn awesome!
His Bell's Palsey does not distract me at all . His screaming did , but not his face lol ...he used to scream a lot ....
JR's the best!
Can Jim just stay home during the wrestling interviews? Sam can stay home during the comedians.
That's a great point JR. Why isn't Corny in the hall of fame?
Got book last night it is really good....
Is there a particular story that stands out the most?
+Drew Russell there was a few the “left gate open story” was deep as a child I would have never been able to do that also Constant traveling Will take a toll on anybody and marriage
+Drew Russell I also liked the way he owned his failures...this dude had been Through a lot
The goat
MAH GAWD!
Matt Rock HES BROKEN IN HALF!
MOTHER OF GAAAAWWD
that man has a family!
Do you have any last words 19:55
FFS Norton not even knowing how his wife died.
Damn JR is good to listen to but these guys lack of preparation is just annoying. Who is Jim Cornette? What did you do before WWF? How long you been in the business? How long was your wife sick(when she wasnt at all)?? ...JR was nice enough to even indulge this because I would have left.SMH
It's a comedy show, not a professional interview. JR knows Jim is a comic. He also knows Sam is a superfan that works for WWE. If JR wants to sell his book to more than just wrestling fans, then Norton is a great surrogate for a non-wrestling fan audience.

Aww that's so sad that JRs wife was killed like that I really feel for him
JR says his wife was killed. Jim Norton asked him how long she was sick. Worm
Where's the rest of this?
Monday Night Raw is not the same with out Jim Ross
It’s good ol jr!!! Jr -----> 🥴
Jesus JR I'm so sorry
Scott hall says it best "don't kill your stuff" let fans take each move in
How come wwe is so popular in the northeast when it really should be popular on the west coast
That's where it started.
I hate how JR continuously speaks ‘honestly’, yet ill of the dead, when they aren’t here to defend themselves. Truly the greatest commentator ever in my opinion, a true wrestling legend, but a shit human being. Would he be ok with people constantly doing ‘shoot’ interviews that paint his wife in a negative light? Would that be morally ok over some crap BBQ Sauce with good ol’ Jim whilst we flip burgers by the pool in summer?
woah something on the jim and sam channel actually worth watching? weird
STFU there is plenty of great content to watch
ass hole The Anthony Cumia videos are always worth watching.
ass hole really??? You'd rather watch a Jr interview rather than Sam interviewing someone else like porn star Lisa Ann?
cm punk did have jujitsu..no stand up
I don't think this dude is long for this world. The haggard look, the slurred speech, the frizzled hair and corpse-like face hanging on bone. Then there's the red plaid shirt...
SethMcFartlane to be fair, he's always looked and sounded this way, lol. I listen to his podcast every week, he's handling his wife's passing admirably, he's an inspiration to me.
SynthFox read the last sentence he's making a joke about Sam
Synthfox did your wife die?
Hahahaha!
Cerebral palsy and life partner passed away, how'd you want him to look?
