Jim Ross could call Kenny Omega " Carrie Underwood, AWA tag champion" and I'd forgive him. He's forgotten more about wrestling than 99% of fans will ever know. He's beyond legendary. In a class of his own.

JR making mistakes is absolutely fine in the modern day. He's 60 for crying out loud, it's perfectly fine. I still love him on AEW.

Them people giving jr death threats definitely need to see a Dr lol

I feel bad for the JR one. I while working at my local newspaper, I answered the phone as if I was at my old job at the pet store. Me and the person on the other end had a laugh over it and they were very nice about it. Can you imagine working for WWE as long as JR did you would make the same flub up too. It's understandable

Cornnette said on his show that Heenan was nursing a neck injury and was very warry of it around the wrestlers making him have that outburst. At this point a lot of people believed Pillman's crazy thing was a shoot.

I kinda don’t blame Bobby Heenan for dropping the F bomb. Didn’t he have a neck injury when Brian Pillman roughed him up? If he did, he probably thought he was gonna get injured further.

Two things: firstly, JR isn't a bad fit with AEW. The guy is a legend and he's still a great announcer. Who the hell cares if he makes a mistake every now and then? Secondly, how did Tony Schiavone F up when he LITERALLY did EXACTLY what he was asked/told to do? You can certainly argue that Eric Bischoff F'd up on that one, but Tony did exactly what he was supposed to do.

Cole should get a lifetime pass after having to continue the show while Jerry Lawler had a heart attack next to him.

Well Kane *is* someone like the Undertaker, in the sense that they are of similar height and weight. Not to mention how they are kayfabe brothers. So if someone can lift Kane, you would assume that they could also lift the Undertaker.

Mike Adamlee probably had stage 1 Dementia at the time. He's at about stage 5 or 6 now. Leave the poor man alone He's literally dying right now.

One that sticks with me is the whole "Cena's free!" "...No, Cena's FIRED..." exchange from that Wade Barrett/Randy Orton match where Cena was the special ref, lol.

I was one of those 600K who switched to see Mankind win.

to be totally fair, Kane *IS* "somebody LIKE the Undertaker."

With Bobby Heenan you forgot to mention a few things. He had a neck surgery not long before and almost everybody in the locker room knew, that he officially wasn´t to be touched by Wrestlers because of that. Except of Pillman it seems, and as far as i know, he apolgized afterwards, and told him, he indeed was not aware of that fact.

The Adamle blunders should *_not_* have made this list. In later years, it was revealed that he has dementia stemming from his playing days in the NFL and his medical team informed him that he is believed to be the first living case of CTE.

6:39 - NWA Powerrr was pre-recorded so the NWA had time to edit out Jim's comment so they're just as much to blame as Jim.

5:40 seriously guys, enough ragging on Heenan for the F-Bomb. Dude had neck surgery, was on the no-touch list, and was legit scared that he’d get re-injured. Pillman was completely unprofessional that night. Get the story straight already.

Jim Ross, arguably the greatest announcer ever, makes two mistakes and so he's a relic and not a fit? wow. And the number one spot goes to Tony Schiavone for doing something he was told by his boss to do? Whoever made this list is a relic and not a good fit for WhatCulture

JR mixing up AEW for WWE feels like a McDonald's employee doing the "Dairy Queen flip" out of habit after years of working at the competition

I seriously disagree with you about JR being a bad fit for AEW's commentary team in 2021. JR is still a great commentator

5:22 those monday night war signs were the best. DDP "Bangs" men 🤣🤣 Too bad i was too young to understand half the signs back in those days

All I’ve learned from this is that even wrestling commentators are human, and some people seem to expect perfection from imperfect people

To be fair to JR, he was with WWE for literal decades. Spend that long in one company, it's not surprising what you did there will slip into your work for a while after you leave. Since part of that work is promotion, the slip up is just more noticeable here than in other professions

In Mike Adamle’s defense, he currently has dementia. He was experiencing early symptoms of it during his WWE run.

Cole at WM37 when Bianca beat Sasha: “AND A KICKOUT”

The JC joke is exactly the same thing with Chapelle. It’s a joke plain and simple.

You can't beat Tony up for that: he was ordered to do it by Bischoff.

Jim Cornette's line on NWA was an outdated 30 year old joke about hunger. It had nothing to do about racism or whatever anyone may think. If you actually hear his rebuttal you would realize that. No way is he racist. Of you think that, you are as out of touch as you think he is. Absolute Nonsense that this made this list. 🖕🖕

Cornnette getting fired was BS. Change my mind!

My God, Corny is not racist. That was a bad out dated joke. Please stop being so easily offended.

Triple H gets really irritated when he screws up...loops!! When this happens watch the game's facial expressions. Totally priceless!! :))

What a world. Jim Cornett gets fired for what may be the funniest line he ever said 😁

You need to take Bobby off this list. What you failed to mention was that he had just had neck surgery a few days beforehand and was on the DO NOT touch list because of this. He was ligetimetly scared for his safety.

Five words: Randy Rosenblum Heroes of Wrestling. It's a dropkick, not a flying leg kick.

So crazy and wild that people sent JR death threats for some mixing up of words. People are so bizarre.

"A relic of wrestling's past" Gimmie a break I love the What Culture guys but put some respect on Jim Cornette as a wrestling mind, he knows the business front to back, inside out, way more than anyone in that office. I love What Culture, but if they both had competing promotions, Cornette would blow them out of the water.

Regarding 'Bobby Heenan Gets Flustered': From what I've heard, Heenan was wearing a neck brace during the show (I think he had some surgery done) and understandably got 'flustered' when Pillman started putting hands on him. Impromptu manhandling probably doesn't go well with recovering from surgery, after all.

JR has spent most of his time in WWE so it's understandable that he will make some mistakes

Anyone who made death threats over mistaking 3 meaningless letters should probably go chew on thumb tacs.

The legend Jim Ross is a good fit for any wrestling promotion. It would be crazy to think otherwise. He would give credibility to any promotion.

At 5:24 I died laughing... In the background "DDP bangs men" 😆😆

Get real, that line by Cornette was fucking hysterical

I remember when Undertaker and Kane revealed they were united and made an entrance on Raw Is War in 1998 and JR said :"Kane and Mankind" when clearly it was the brothers of destruction.

Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler didnt get either Hardy Boys' names correct for the first year of their careers. I'm surprised fans knew which is which because they'd always get them wrong lol

My favorite was by Bob Caudle at an early 90s Clash of Champion. "Rather together or on the same team, the Steiners are two tough competitors".

10:02 that wouldn’t really be Tony’s fault. I’m sure, he was told to say that. By someone we all know, killed WCW.

Just imagine how many people would’ve missed out on Mick’s historic title win had Tony not made that comment.

Critics are ruthless. Like they've never made a mistake.

Hopefully Micheal Buffer doesn't hear your impression...The man is infamous for being EXTREMELY protective of his catchphrase (understandably when he literally gets paid 6-7 figures just to say it!) and sues at even the slightest mention of the word rumble! LMAO. Seriously though...Imagine getting paid that much just to utter a couple seconds long phrase.

People blow the Cole thing way out of proportion with the mania call. I didn't even realize he said it until people made a big deal about it on social media

Cornette’s joke was about starving people wanting chicken, not race.

You forgot Michael Cole saying to Vince about the Network over his headset: “Do you want me to say that every time? Because I’ve said it a shitload of times tonight.” (Then there’s a pause. For longer than there should be.) “Okay… Yes, sir, yes, sir… Okay, I’ve got it, sir… I just didn’t know if you wanted me to hit it every time but I’ll do it from now on… Okay, thank you… Yep, I will.” Sometimes you get the feeling Michael Cole is on our side.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan was always my favorite. True to his name, he was pretty much the Smartest Man in the room.

You forgot the biggest one of all: Michael Cole spoils the main event of Wrestlemania 15 by announcing the new WWF champion Stone Cold would be available after the ppv on the Shopzone

JR is a legend and I won't have anyone say anything bad about him. And I love him in AEW

I'm not defending what Jim Cornette said but you do need to remember, the NWA didn't fire Cornette immediately after he said the quote, a quote he said a thousand times before, no, the NWA taped the show, edited the show and put it up on KZfaq. Then, after the backlash, suspended and fired Corny. Oh, then they took down the episode.

JR always made mistakes, he was just so good that we barely noticed. Always called Jeff Hardy Matt and vice versa, referred to Edge as Christian and vice versa so many times, it just happens

In Mike Adamlee's defense, Jeff Hardy did work as Jeff Harvey very briefly when he was a jobber (although I doubt he knew this). In Jim Cornette's defense, it was a line he'd used before and didn't realize it was racist. He's from Kentucky and probably just went with fried chicken because it's one of the things his home state is famous for. I didn't even know that was a racist thing until that whole incident as I'm from Australia and hadn't heard that before. With all that said though, he did try to defend himself by saying that it wasn't a joke about black people, it was a joke about starving people...which isn't really any better. Cornette has a brilliant mind for wrestling, but from listening to his show he does have some strange ideas about all kinds of things. Some of his statements on women's wrestling are certainly questionable and some of the things he jokes about are also questionable (which most of the time his co-host Brian Last calls him out on). He's a loud mouth who sometimes doesn't think before he speaks, but I don't think there's any hatred there for anyone other than Republicans, Vince Russo, Jim Herd, Sable and Kevin Dunn. Cornette is a flawed individual, like most people, but his passion for and knowledge of professional wrestling is second to none.

I still cannot understand why people hate on JR so much. He may mess up from time to time, but he still brings so much to commentary team and has such a wealth of knowledge and experience to impart. He is a big part of the reason why I greatly prefer AEW's commentary over WWE's (it's not even a contest honestly. WWE's commentary actually actively detracts from what's going on instead of actually enhancing and adding to it, like good commentary should. I almost like I'm watching a kid's show, with how they constantly repeat the same things over and over, dumb down everything and always point out super-obvious things. It's just condescending and insulting IMO.). Also I think it's pretty damn inspiring that he's still able to do what he does and do it at level he does at his age. I hope he continues to do so for a long as he can! It'll be helluva one sad day and end of an era when he finally retires from the commentating booth.

I hate when videos like this don’t show us the clip or the audio .

Giving it a down for adamle. Wasnt his fault. Simon Miller addresses this properly now.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Corey Graves saying “Bullet Club” during Finn Balor’s entrance on RAW. That was huge!

This is literally the first time I'm hearing Corbett's NWA line, and it's clearly about starvation and not race. You could perhaps make a case about the food specifically being fried chicken, but we all know good it smells and how Ethiopia is perceived.

Jim Ross is a beast of an announcer and there will never be another personality like him in pro wrestling enjoy him while he lasts

If I remember correctly Michael Buffer also called Shawn Michaels just heartbreak kid and left the Shawn Michaels out during 2008 Royal Rumble. He might be great in boxing but in wrestling he just sucks.

Coach had a flashback from when Kane was the Undertaker's name.

1. Cole gets too much crap, and I bet you he probably actually thought a kick out had happened. He did do something similar during 2003 Vengence during a tag title match and both him and Tazz were perfect on how they covered that up to make it look like a blind tag was so good that no one caught it. I think some mistakes make the product more real since sportscasters can see something on replay and end up being allowed to correct themselves. 2. Go look up the ECW Triple Threat title match from NOC 2008. Adamle provided his best commentary work there and showed a lot of promise, especially putting over the Mark Henry title win that night as a big deal. 3. That Schiavone call was so iconic because he was so emotional because of having to do that that he had to call Foley to apologize about that, and look at the date. Something ELSE happened on WCW that night that many believe was the beginning of the end for WCW (the TRUE beginning of the end was when they thought Russo was a good hire to get, but whatever). Let's just say Bishoff might have wished that no one turned BACK to WCW once WWE went off the air that night.

Keep In mind... they have peeps in there ear and often will repeat what is in their ear. So it's not always the announcers fault.

Honestly getting on Jim Ross is like pointing out Micheal Jordan’s mistakes. Dude is so good when he makes a mistake it shakes the earth while the rest of us live in daily mistakes

I don’t care about Jim Ross making flubs. He has cancer, he’s old, but still the best damn play by play, I ever heard. He was in WWE for a long time. Give him a break.

You might get a subpoena for that lets get ready to rumble shout, dudes mad protective of it.

Jim Cornette isn't racist, and he's hardly a relic, He's forgotten more about wrestling than anyone on this channel has ever learned

The same night the Tony Schiavone incident happened was also when the finger poke of doom happened lol

Ain't anyone perfect. We all screw up from time to time.

The thumbnail got me Rollin 😂😂😂

The Mick Foley comment justified him getting the title. That many fans to turning the channel shows how loved Mick was and he deserved every bit of it.

The announcement team is the reason we all fellbin love with wrestling

You owe Michael Buffer $1mil now 🤣

I remember that night as a teen. I watched both programs often switching back and forth to find the less boring one. "Mick Foley is going to win the title" Changes channel

What in the world is Kenny Omega the best of all time at? His promos are rather average at best.

Love this channel

this list was probably insanely hard to make. I mean they give you so much new material every single week

All the ones I was going to mention were mentioned so I'm Just going to say CM Punk saying WWE and Daniel Bryan before telling JR "It's not Just you" and "I'm Just going to call him American Dragon"

The Brain wasnt flustered. He was psssd. He was recovering from a neck injury during that interaction.

In the #1 spot, the WCW announcing Mick's title win. I think you should of mentioned how that night was also a big turning point for ratings during "the Monday night rating wars" that put WWE over the top

Cole has an error of some kind on every smackdown but hes usually quick to correct himself

The Bobby Heenan one, he had just come back from major surgery and was a strict 'no touch' rule for him... Thats why he was so suprised!

It can't be easy to have Vince McMahon blasting away in your ear like a lunatic.

Surprised no one called Jeff, Bill Wilson at this point. "OMG, Bill Wilson, smooth off those ropes like Jim Beam out of the gallon!!!"

I would definitely add when Albert was on aWWE pre-show panel. He referred to one of the titles as a belt. The other panelists cried title and you could see the fear in their faces. Sure enough, that was the last time Albert was on a WWE panel.

What about when Michael Cole couldn't get Sasha Banks name out of his mouth during (I believe) a triple threat between Banks, Becky, and Charlotte(?). He just kept calling all the wrestlers involved Sasha throughout the match. It was hilarious!!!

The Cornette story just shows how soft people are these days

#1 is ridiculous. Tony was directed to do this by Bischoff. So that should be credited to Bischoff.

Honorable Mention: JBL thinks Raw wins Survivor Series main event in 2019

Quality content right here

What kind of an acid trip intro was that

Alright Wilborn, I laughed with the psychedelic brain explosion gag. Nice with the beat.

Buffer wasn't the only one to screw Bret when announcing him. A television news station was going to interview him and he was announced as "Bret the Heartman Hitt".

"Me finger broke ring the bell" 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lord Alfred Hayes is turning in his grave that he wasn’t every single entry on this list.
