JR shytting on Ultimate Warrior all over his podcast

[Breh the HitMang]

JR is the real racist.

warrior may have been predjudiced, but in order to actually be racist, you have to hold down people of other nationalities. warrior stayed in his own little world for the most part, while JR had peoples' careers in the palm of his hand.

i'll never forget the way he would downplay the rock on commentary.

yea the guy who brought in Mark Henry, D'Lo Brown, Ahmed Johnson and The Rock is a racist,

so hes not racist because he signed some black wrestlers??

As lead announcer JR was good enough to fukk up their pushes through announcing and never did. Warrior told a black student during his college speaking tour to take the banana out his ass.

well he sure as hell tried to keep the rock neutralized with his announcing.
hes also the announcer who started the back-handed "great athlete" comment thats now commonplace when speaking about a black wrestler - which hinders them all, both male & female.

and im not defending the warrior at all, but warrior hurling an insult, wasnt gonna stop ole bul from progressing in his field.

just stop bruh, creating false narratives if you dont like him, you dont like him

plenty of stone cold racist promoters have put on way more black wrestlers.

theres no false narratives coming from me. you just came in here spewing some silly chit.

Him not putting Rock over on commentary sure hindered Rocks career

You guys love to take an inch and make it a mile.

Warrior has been gone since 2014, but even to this day whenever he's brought up, it seems like the people who worked with him find it hard to say something nice about him. The guy was an out there personality with a lot of questionable & controversial views who was difficult to work with. It is what it is.

As for Jim Ross? You all should read this thread if you get some free time today. These posters bring up a lot of Jim's shady moments including throwing Austin under the bus when he walked out in 02 (after Stone Cold helped Jim get his job back in 1999.)

The Jim Ross Is A Grouchy Hateful Vile Human Being thread

To be fair, he just did an episode on that time period, and he fingered that as one of the worst moments and mistakes of his career. Austin seems to have forgiven him, Vince, and The Rock for what they did in 2002, so I think it's just water under the bridge at this point.

On another note, while I actually really like JR's podcast (Grilling JR and What Happened When with Schiavone are easily the best podcasts in Conrad Thompson's stable, by the way), I always found his references (or lack thereof, really) to The Rock to be so weird. He never buries him, always compliments him when he has to, but he never brings him up the way he always brings up Austin. It's especially weird when he's discussing 2000, when Rock was clearly the guy moving numbers and setting attendance/gate records during the WWF's most successful year to that point (such a number mover that Triple H completely abandoned his actually really great slow face turn partially because he saw that he would have been a distant #3 to Rock and Austin). I don't think it's racism, and it might just be because Austin's his guy and was always competing with Rock for that top spot from 1999 onward, but it's weird nonetheless.

And don't even get me started on Rock's booking in 2000. Not that he was booked like complete garbage or anything, but no other top guy would have come out so well from it, not even Austin. Some of those shows in the fall felt like As the McMahons Turn starring Triple H with The Rock just sort of being there despite being Champion at that point. It's all good, well written stuff, but still.

i also didnt like JR's comments regarding the nation of domination.

particularly when farooq was making his quest for the chip.

the way he emphatically said that black wrestlers just couldnt get the job done, knowing its a scripted sport and knowing dam well that farooq wasnt gonna win at KOTR.

but people are gonna ignore this.
same way nobody wanted to respond when i brought up the backhanded athleticism comment that he ushered into wrestling commentary.

Him not putting Rock over on commentary sure hindered Rocks career

You guys love to take an inch and make it a mile.

they never did that chit when it came to hogan, austin, bruno, cena, etc etc

the rock's shotty booking is the main reason why yall voted austin over him in that tournament too.

but whatever, this place is full of suburbanites who fawn over average white women. i already know what its hittin for in here.

I was convinced that Helwig boned Jim's wife and/or mother, the way he was shytting on him. I had to turn it off b/c it was simply repetitive. Give them man his due to a few great matches- vs Hogan at WM6 and Savage at WM7. How many terrible workers have all-time great 1 on 1 matches? There's honestly not alot. With a good gameplan, dude showed up and performed, hitting all the right notes.
Overall tho, I'm digging JR's podcast. I really enjoy the late NWA and WCW talk.
