JR has the same camera angle a 5th grader would use to do online schooling.

JR will and always be the voice of wwf/wwe, him and jerry were perfect together.

I love this man. He was the voice of some of my greatest childhood memories JR will always be the greatest announcer of all time thanks big guy for all you've done ❤

Flair should had been fired too in fact before JR.

Conrad asking JR this question for the 20th time.

The irony is, most fans enjoyed the hell out of it and what would’ve been a standard press conference was made very memorable

So because Flair's drunk self cant control his drinking they blame JR for not controlling Flair? Did nothing happen to Flair? Did they not say hey Flair, your drunk azz needs to go get help? No? Nothing?

JR and the King will always be the best commentary team in my opinion.

How does any other human being keep Flair from drinking?

Ric Flair makes an ass of himself as usual and JR gets fired. Makes sense.

Jr is the best commentator of all time

Nothing happened on that panel to warrant anyone being fired, imo.

It just shows you the kind person Vince is, especially considering the things Vince has done, JR has been a loyal employee, and all the good things he's done for the wrestling business. It is one thing if he slept with your wife or maybe even your daughter but to fire him over a mistake or something is petty.

Vince treats JR like an employee who was there for 2 years. Wjat a joke. He was like Vince's right-hand man.

Give JR his flowers that man was the voice of Raw is war And Smackdown him and king 💯

This was stupid, JR is the greatest commentator of all time. Vince is a fool for firing him, glad he has a good job now.

Vince blew this one like he blew his quads

jim ross is a legend in the wrestling business, never knew he smoked.... Glad he has a job in AEW, Love his voic. Been watching him since hisoriginal wcw days in the early 90's.

Watching that interview, I didn't see what JR did wrong. More than anything, it was how Ric Flair was that was unprofessional. He was drunk and out of control during that press interview. I know that Flair's son passed away very recently when that happened, but Ric Flair seems to get away with a lot with Vince.

Without Jim Ross & Michael cole our childhood wouldn’t been the same give this man his flowers you deserve you’re legendary

How does Conrad sound exactly like a young Jim.

I hope Ric Flair paid JR compensation for getting him fired but then again i've always hoped to see pigs fly.

Can anyone help JR get his camera setup in the right position and improve the audio quality?

It’s easily one of if not the greatest press conference in WWE history. I absolutely love it. I know THQ did.

I remember that "incident". I am not sure why Vince made a big deal out of it? Everyone at that panel was acting a bit crazy. I actually found it very entertaining.

I wonder if he lied and said he was Drunk, if it might have cut him some slack? Admittedly, 1-time i saved my ass from someone coming after me because I claimed i was drunk, even tho i was 100% sober but still did something inappropriate. People often tend to cut slack when people are "intoxicated"

JRis the voice of wrestling period . Wrestling started dying the day JR was let go marching towards its demise .

Did we really need to hear Conrad read all that? I want to hear Jr tell the damned story. He's literally reading the man's words TO him as if we want to hear Conrads voice. I swear he's like that Al Gore talking doll on the Simpsons that only says "You are hearing me taaaalk".

Should not taken Rick Flair

It's sad the Jim had to exit the WWE the way he did but everything comes to an end, the only downside is that he still regrets what he said that day. JR and The King are the best tag team in wrestling history, yes they tagged on comms not in the ring but never underestimate who made and broke the talent back in the day. I'm the biggest Stone Cold mark and it's 100% down to the way Jim oversold him 24/7 and the way Jerry used to try and put him down, the pinnacle of modern wrestling / sports entertainment which wouldn't have been a shadow of what it was without Jim and Jerry. God bless the pair of you fine gents, love ya's.

JR and I have the same bad habit. Hard to break. And hats off to the people who have.

Love JR, dude would have been great to cast as Hank for a live action King of The Hill.

He said it. They were looking for an absolute excuse, and he fd up, and gave it to em. I love the honesty. Even if we think things aren't our fault, we can always look at what we could have done better. Made things easier. Love you JR!

Holy shit JR smokes cigarettes, WTF I never knew that....This is the first time I've seen it.

The question is when did JR start smoking cigarettes?

Jr crushin a dart ;lol

WTF is JR apologizing for? He did nothing wrong...Meanwhile look at the shit Vince has been accused throughout his career and he was still allowed back...Why would the WWE treat JR like this, makes no sense?

Jr is one of the people who got screwed by Vince No reason why he was fired I saw the video of that q&a session I didn't see anything that came off as unprofessional

The whole situation was stupid and should not have been as big a deal as it was. Totally blown out of proportion.

Did no one tell jr before the interview started to fix his camera?

Why Conrad brings up the same topics is beyond me and Conrad really needs to let the guest speak

Jim was hammered, like everyone else. Admit it. It's okay. We're all human and make mistakes.

Jim needs to stop playing with his health and stop smoking

It's been 10 years since the wwe13 panel you think Vince would of brought him back

I wasn't drunk. I said stupid things, damaged the company and my own reputation in a career limiting way, but while sober. I'm just incredibly stupid. Doesn't this mean character? I'm not drunk. I stood up and admitted that I was a fucking idiot.

Why would he fire a friend who’s been there as the voice of the wwe for years I wouldn’t dare go back

What brand cigarettes do you think jr smokes ?

Vince loved bullying JR

This has never made sense to me, for one thing I’ve watched it and it doesn’t even strike me as being bad or problematic, so from that immediate standpoint I’m already lost in what they thought was so bad about it. Second, like Conrad said, what was JR supposed to do, those guys were all mic’ed up and could say whatever they wanted to say. He tried reigning them in and they just couldn’t be, but again i don’t get what the issue even was. I think it was clearly just a convenient / manufactured excuse to fire Jim.

One door closes and another opens. He did you a favor. F him!

Vince made a huge mistake, but than again he's not loyal to anyone.

Well with the new company could JR make a return.?

Ric Flair was drunk, depressed and out of control.....solution....fire JR. Vince is the most fuqqed up individual in wrestling. All of his accomplishments are overshadowed by his ignorance.

There’s no loyalty to Vince. You could put his company on your back for 50 years and he’d fire you in a heartbeat. Did JR mess up? Maybe but did he deserve to get fired for it? Facts is he wanted to replace him with a younger guy. And he gave him the reason he wanted

Not tge same without jr

JR needs to place his cam a little better I think.

JR might not see it this way or say it out loud but Flair got him fired, and it’s not because of Reid, it’s because Flair always has to be the center of attn and he’s usually drunk and out of control. having said that, the panel was entertaining and i’m sure the game buying audience found it entertaining as well. nobody really needed to be fired

Here is a question, do you think someone may have spiked your drink? I ask this cause we all have enemies that want us gone or ruin our image and find ways to do so. You having the 1 drink which from the looks of you I can you could have many more and can handle your drinks just fine. Maybe it caused you to misjudge the situation or whatever and in hindsight could it have been something more that caused your lapse in judgment. Pill or liquid drugs have been around for a long time and so easy to get by with but could someone have been hating you so much that they would stoop this low as to get you on Vince's bad side or the last straw Vince could handle. You know how you were feeling but also I'm not gonna be the scapegoat for someone else's mistakes but I will make sure I watch out for their well-being and keep them safe. I think Rick's ordeal was Rick being Rick. Call it what you will but he is known for drinking out of hand and getting rowdy.

The wrong company won the Monday Night Wars.

STONE COLD STONE COLD STONE COLD

Well the fact you wasn’t drunk, it was worse. No point highlighting the fact that you wasn’t drunk. I would have gone with being drunk…..at least it’s an excuse

Should’ve told him to fix his camera before starting, so unprofessional and old school KZfaq channel.

He smoking and stressed just talking about it. Preaches health but he’s the opposite of it.

What did JR even do tho?

Firing JR was one of the dumbest things WWE has ever done. Almost as bad as TNA getting rid of Mike Tenay. JR was the voice of Raw, Tenay the voice of Impact - both also have extensive history working for WCW before WWE and TNA. Cole and Mathews aren't bad as such, they're just nowhere near as good. One of the best things AEW did was hire Tony Schiavone (voice of Nitro/WCW) and JR. Someone needs to get the Professor back in the industry. Tenay is too good not to be involved in wrestling. If I was running Impact I'd be moving mountains to get him back ASAP, as TNA needs all the help they can get these days.

father and son

sounds like you fired yourself. why lead with i know you're firing me. that's like a pre-emptive breakup in dating, when things probably could have been worked out. but it would require change you wouldn't be willing to make. just my take

JR smokes?

unbelievable this guy has had cancer numerous times and is still smoking

Here come the Dutch mantel listeners coming to say that Conrad speaks too much.

Never knew jr smokes

People are *still* trying to blame this on Flair? That myth just won't die. Jim has said before that what ultimately got him canned was insulting the sponsors; that's the unprofessional behavior he alluded to in the passage.

Everytime jim says i wasnt drunk ect conrad does a quick yeah . 😂

He seems to like to draw out the dirt on people.

This didnt age well for Vince lol

Conrad talks too much.... 60% conrad 40% everyone else

Of course he was drunk why have half a drink no alky has half a drink have a couple and go up too get fired guys a a fat women better

Jim Ross was drunk as a skunk that night

Jim deserved it

Vince was completely right

He was drunk.

Unreliable?! I wouldve gone OFF on vince at that point... Austin Cena Rock 3 of the biggest stars vinces had in the last 25 years and jim hired them.

I’m sure J.R. had more than one on that fateful day. His time had passed and it was well past time for Ross to be retired.

JR is a 2 faced little drama queen, he is damn lucky he lasted as long as he did!

Been along time since I saw someone smoke in their home yuck

JR smoking a cigarette is so bad ass.

Nice plaque to racism there on the wall.

What exactly did he do?

I'm so sorry but JR is becoming a bitter clown over the years....Can't even listen to Grilling JR anymore cause there's always alot of bitterness!!

He made an ass of himself he seemed drunk
