Рет қаралды 393,709
Күн бұрынFor over forty years Jim Ross has been the Voice of Wrestling. From starting as referee in the regional territories to becoming the Executive Vice President for WWE, nobody has a story quite like Jim Ross. From recruiting and hiring some of the biggest superstars in the industry to providing the soundtrack for the most important moments in wrestling history, “Good Ole JR” was there for it all. Join us every Thursday morning as Conrad Thompson grills JR like you’ve never heard before, uncut and uncensored!

The bottom line is it comes down to Vince’s egomania. In Vince’s mind, the success of WWE is a complete result of his own genius. In fact, the success of the greatest era in wrestling history (Attitude Era/Monday Night War) had more to do with JR than Vince. Without the voices of the era, JR and King, and without JRs booking and management during that time, the era simply isn’t the same. Deep down Vince realizes that and it drives his ego crazy, therefore he must belittle and betray JR to make himself feel like a bigger man. Hold your head high JR, Vince will always be beneath you!

I think that's because JR seems to legimately care about wrestling above all else. He's not out for his personal checks, he's not out for his ego, he's not out there to put someone down (though he will set the record straight, as done in this video), He's out here to create a good show by putting his part. Sadly, Vince has forgotten about that and is only looking for the big bucks in wrestling--even if it means burying good people that made his company what it is today.

One of the reasons was your commentary, can’t discount The King as you guys played off each other. I will never forget the commentary when ol Stone Cold poured a cement truck into Vince’s “car.” I stopped watching in 2003 when everything starting getting weird and not what I was used. I have since stopped watching, but you came across my feed so I’ll show support for someone that I can hear, that leads me back to a simple time as a 5/6 grader wondering if my homework was correct.

Usually when you are given the “team player” speech by higher ups it means they thought you were the person that would pick up anyone slack. Do the work of more then just your position and NOT complain or expect more pay or such. Basically you were their problem solver and they expected you’d shut up, keep your head down, and do what your told. The minute you are not that figure, there’s a problem, and it’s always you. Never them or the “team”. Or the way things are ran.

What do you expect? Cornette got in trouble going after one of Vince's guys for making fun of Jr. So it was known to happen in the 90's. Plus, they thought it would be funny not to tell Cornette they busted the window out of his car so they could see his reaction. So I can see everything Jr says here happening.

Jr and king were the two best announcers of all time. JR being fired was the biggest mistake ever. What a huge loss of a talent scout. I thought wrestling was bad now because I'm older. That isnt the case. I watched the early 90s to 00s and I was just as excited, captivated and amazed. The attitude era was unreal good.

it never ceases to amaze me how WWE treats fan favorite performers, and people who i consider legends. People who have given so much of themselves to try and make WWE shows the best they can be, but Vince always focuses on reasons to doubt, shame, persecute, retaliate, or admonish those who get close to him. It makes him, in a lot of way, the worst person to be in the position he has because it makes him so easy to manipulate and play against others, making it such a cut throat political environment. I don't know how JR stuck it out as long as he did.

I think Vince gets a kick out of tormenting people. Just like JR said, it’s no reason to act this way. Think about the Montreal screw job, that entire situation did not have to happen. It could have been handled a multitude of different ways, but he chose the most egregious way to handle it. Vince is a POS.

Vince may be a lot of things, but I can't blame him for Montreal. Bret should've been a professional. Vince had lost trust business-wise because of Medusa, and how she dropped the WWE Women's title in the trash on TV. I wouldn't have, in ANY case, allowed my top champion to go there still having the belt. Secondly, Vince wanted to build HBK just as Vince built Bret once upon a time. You can't be a wrestler, and then just refuse to do the job. Vince gave Bret the chance. You could say Bret would've flourished anywhere, but that's speculation. Vince DID make Bret the star he was. Bret should've been a professional, and agreed to the plan. Vince surely shouldn't have let his promotion's top prize be with someone who was not only leaving but would've been under contract with WCW the next night. This drops down to the "Boys being boys" mentality in wrestling. It was a toxic masculinity-filled environment, and Bret felt justified in taking a stand. But business is and should've been the top priority.
@jasonbowser5754 4 жыл бұрын
