Jim Ross needs to stick to interviews from now on, he doesn't have Vince yelling in his ear to keep him alert.
I'm fully expecting him to nod off and take a nice afternoon nap during a Kenny Omega match :mjlol:

Ross when he's in a live event seems more inspired. I remember hearing the last match he called in the WWE with the End of the Era cell match and he seems right at home because that's the boys he came up with. Monday Night Raw and PPVs are his strong points. Even when he was on Smackdown, He seemed uninspired.

Time passes people by and he's not as knowledgable about puro and the players as he was in WWE. And he doesn't seem to appreciate the ROH/NJPW fast paced matches

Oh:ohhh:

I would've never known that. I haven't watched smackdown in like 5 years.:francis:


low-key, smackdown has been dope since i started watching the WWE again like last summer.

they let the workers work without the BS segments.

been saying for a while that's its the WWE's best show. better than NXT.

oh chit

I never realized that mauro ranallo is the dude from new japan.

I never paid attention to the commentators' names on new japan since I cant see them. and i never placed his voice.

I downloaded the first couple episodes featuring JR and it was good to hear him calling matches again, but I can't be using up all my XWT ratio for it every week. I'm sure there's a reason for this but all the matches were almost a year old and featuring people like AJ, Shinsuke, and Gallows/Anderson so that took away from it to a certain degree as well.

Side note: those NJPW camera people DO NOT fukk around with female competitors, they stayed blatantly zoomed in on the t*ts and ass almost the entire length of their entrances.

I think this thread may have been made pre-maturely.
All because Jim Ross seems to have ramped back up to his quality level this week on njpw.
He is in the pocket and seamless with the action this week.

Previously he was a bit off sync and that was probably unfamiliarity and rust.
Now, this week he is great.

I saw some of it last night and didn't like.

a big step down from mauro ranallo but I'll reserve further judgement until I catch the replay next week.

He was as good as uwf last night, breh.
If you looking for him to be over top like the wwf.
That may never happen.
On njpw, he calls it like when he first got in the biz and was a Dr death mark and Stan.

I'm not a fan of his wwf stuff.

I liked him better in wcw.

He is more in line with that NWA to wcw era after uwf in njpw.

he has that aura like somebody's grandpops commenting on current stuff that he less than casually follows.
