JR is such a good sport for handling these painful discussions about his experience in WWE. Be safe in Chicago, Conrad!
I agree. Conrad absolutely sucks, he drains the life out of JR. I think with a more excitable partner JR would get better questions and be much more better suited because I love listening to him
@@jstinson7072I'll never understand why you would listen to a podcast hosted by someone you don't like, and then comment about how you don't like him. It makes no sense.
@@jstinson7072 agree
@@alexwheaton6723because people love listening to JR and will put up with conrad, not that complicated
@@alexwheaton6723 because they like the interviewee, maybe? If you didnt like a talk show host but your favourite musician or film star was on their show, would you really ‘not’ watch it because of the host? What silly logic you applied there.
JR is a credit to our species. I’m happy he’s living his best life.
He definitely is a credit to humanity
For what it’s worth, JR was 20x more loved, respected, and trusted by the boys than Johnny. JR was always a straight shooter with you. If you needed to improve at something to help you reach your potential, he’d tell it to you straight out. Johnny didn’t do that. Instead, Johnny would go and chirp in Vince’s ear and bury that talent behind their back. Thought he was a god-awful head of
talent relations. And when it comes to comparing the two of them in recruiting? Good Lord! Johnny’s not even in the same stratosphere let alone the same ballpark, vs. Jim Ross in recruiting prowess!
I was about to be a typical UA-cam comment d*ck and sarcastically ask if you’d ever actually been in the wrestling business by thinking that you were a fan like me, then I saw your username and profile pic. 😂 Sorry Matt
Great comment to read and add to the video, thank you!
Love the podcast and redass JR! God bless you all. 🎉
I remember recommending this on Twitter. I would LOVE if JR could give his insight to what makes a good talent relations officer. What the job entails. What to look for when you are scouting talent and how to approach different scenarios (talent being let go etc). As an autistic man, I’ve learned a lot by just listening to JR and how he approaches certain situations and what direction to take. A clever man indeed.
Basically every episode of this podcast
Looking forward to next weeks episode. I love to hear Jim talk Mid-South Wrestling
Jim Ross... the Andy Reid of pro wrestling. Biggest compliment I can give. 👍
WE LOVE YOU JR!!! =)
Talent relations is seriously the most underappreciated job in all of wrestling. Babysitting a ton of egos while trying to please the big boss at the same time as well as having payroll done on time.
Like you would know
@@thealchemist69666He didn't say he was speaking from personal experience but if you listened to Eric and Bruce you would realize they all found managing talent to be an extremely difficult and thankless process
It really is and that's also why we got such a reaction when fully jumped off that cage Jr's first thoughts were how do you write a check to a Deadman well I guess two dead men
Getting payroll done on time is a hard enough job for a lot of people
As a person who's done payroll, it's a headache by itself. To manage egos, booking, play by play and Vince too, that takes a lot of work, patience, and skill. God bless him.
Great podcast jim Ross and Conrad Thompson talk talent relations
Show starts at 6:57 you’re welcome
They’re talking about rumors that the company is for sale. I thought it was already sold to Endeavor.
Hope you get better
Jim. Been enjoying these podcast and JR BBQ sauce and mustard this summer while bbqs
Hope u are getting better jim voice of wrestling for so many
That drawing looks more like James Gandolphini than Jim Ross.
Never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Get ready! Tulane plays Ole Miss on Sept 9, at New Orleans
Next week on Grilling JR
Jim’s first divorce
Haha, just hitting him square in the nyutz these past couple of weeks.
🤣💀
Goddamn pal😂
Well they look spectacular at least because of Manscaped.
I'll never forget on a episode of Raw, Vince was acting like he was performing surgery on J.R. ass, i felt so bad for Jim
I didn't know this was a JR podcast, I thought this was an HR lecture series....
Jr's looking good Conrad's got a nice tan I put the title on you
😆
I stay a hour away from greenville SC, I can't figure out if I wanna stay home relax with my dog watch Summerslam and AEW or make the trip to see collision
JR might be surprised by this but my wife uncles are Jack and Gerald Brisco! The Brisco Bros! Don’t worry though, I’m a Sooners fan.
didnt know jr was so close to going to TNA,
Ah yes conman...a guy that looks like he very rarely shaves, tries to sell us various shaving products for 10 mins each episode x 7 podcasts a week.
Dixie carter was out of her element running TNA....amateur hour
Considering current events, JR got out just in time.
If you’re watching this…Jr hired you!
The thumbnail is what Jr thinks he looks like
So what did the dirt sheets say ?
JR be coming across as too entitled
Brent tell Jr and Danny if the money ain't going to be there. They better go get a job and help out
Or this grilling is going to be a hog roast
Try to give the podcast a go every few months. JR is so unlikeable, so often doesn't even answer the question asked.
He's a very angry, old man. The shows with Paul were hilarious.
Jim you are the best!!!
