Hey JR, I've long admired your work and have enjoyed listening to you narrating the memories of my youth. Have you had a chance to visit the Pro-Wrestling Hall of Fame in Amsterdam, New York yet? It's about a 40 minute jaunt from Albany and wasn't sure if you've been able to make the trip. I find it to be an odd location as I'm not sure about the history of pro-wrestling in the Albany area but nonetheless I've been told it's a nice experience.
I have not been there but I've heard great things about Amsterdam, N.Y. I will get there one day without question.
Just a question in general, I was watching the movie "Cars" with my son and noticed a Jim Ross from Oklahoma credited in the movie, just curious as to if that was you or not. Thanks Chris Indiana
Nope...not to my knowledge.
Howdy JR, Hope you are feeling better. The Dr. who spoke about Solomedral made so much sense. It was the only steroid that got me out of the hospital and into a wheel chair when I was hit with my first MS bout (Transverse Mylitis totally numb from the waist down). It worked for me in about a week. It took about a full week with max dosages to get it all under control, but it did work. I only had the Type II diabetes to deal with after treatments. Great luck any way you decide to go. I hope you get to make this trip to Lincoln. I was trying to get up there. I know that Tommy is driving and Richard will fly as usual. I think that you will see the D come back to life and I think that our O will keep getting better and better. I look forward to this match up of Bo Pelini vs Kev Wilson. Two great minds on different sides of the ball. I look for Landry Jones to show how far he's come as he now has four guys whom he has confidence in. I see Dejuan having a real break out game as he gets to visit with his dad Jeremy today and I know how well he plays when he speaks with Jeremy. So glad to see Trey kicking and doing his thing. What a leg and what great parents he has. Sorry to go on about OUr Sooners, but I can't help it as I"m totally addicted JR.....;) As for your BBQ, I love it. The ribs this year have been awesome with a ton of meat on them. Tommy and I do a ton of smoking as you may know and I've been using your rub on fish, seafood and poultry and sometimes just sprinkling it on veggies or over a salad. I used to have my own base rub and then add what was needed depending on the usage, but I do like your's a ton and it's easier, lol. I just got back from Memphis for my Juice Plus business and went to Rendezvous for ribs. I do love them, but I like yours a bit better. It's all in the sauce for me. Hot, not too sweet so that you open your taste buds and can taste the smoke ring on the meats! I do love burnt ends. Not sure if you sell them, but I do love them as an appetizer. I can't wait for the mustard to come. I'll pick some up when I get to Norman next if it's out!!!! Thanks for doing this site. Boomer Sooner, Pete
Thanks, Pete. Always good to hear from you. Tuf night for us Sooners in Lincoln. Better days lie ahead without question. Tommy and I chatted briefly on the phone. Nebraska was an experience that would have been perfect if OU could have won the game. Thanks for the support. See you down the road.
Hello J.R Hope your feeling much better these days and feeling close to 100 percent. Well I'm just writing to ask if you can pass on my love haha just kidding, but that is seriously messed up some 'dirt sheet' posted a letter from him and it is seriously freaky hope Mickie is highly looked after. But seriously im from the United Kingdom and training over here to become a wrestler, is there any tips or advice or who any new comer should base himself on. Thanks for your time Ps. Bet your glad i didnt ask for Steve's number.
I don't think that Mickie is in any danger...this guy is just an obsessed fan who needs to realize that he can be a fan but his conduct, he emails lots of sites, simply makes him look like a crack pot. To prepare for a wrestling career one must practice harder and longer than any one in one's group, wrestle at every small event one can find no matter if it is for free, and get one's body to look marketable and athletic.
With Hulk/TNA being big talk, Shane leaving the company also being a "mystery", I can honestly say that I'm still waiting for an answer for a question I posted several months ago. What other ways can blind users make a purchase of your products besides using the web because it's not working for me. I'm probably the only dude on the planet who hasn't tried anything from here, yes I know, exajoration. On a more respectful but serious matter, please get better.
What exactly isn't working for you and how may we better serve your needs?
hi jr. i know uv heard this a million times but i hope u get well soon. u to me are not just the voice of smackdown. but the voice of wrestling. ur one of the reasons i watch wrestling to this day after 20 years. thank u for ur passion for this business. i hope u stomp a mudhole in this illness and walk it dry. and i know when u come back 'buisness will pick up' as u would say. god bless you and your family. from ur fan and freind from ireland, michael!!
I look forward to getting back to work no matter what my assignment might be. Weekly TV may not be at the top of my list upon my return but we'll see.
Hey JR, Hope you are getting better each day. Here's a question, do you miss the time 'back in the day' when the 'storylines' were told through the wrestlers and not through the Internet and rumors? As a wrestling fan who has watched the 'sport' since age 12, I kind of miss not knowing how something is going to end. Here's another question, do you remember the first time you watched wrestling on television and if so can you remember a specific match that sticks in your brain? I can recall three each from a different wrestling organization: WCCW, when Iceman King Parsons was burned; when Ric Flair gave Magnum TA a tailor-made suit and he proceeded to tear it to shreds and when Brutus Beefcake shaved Outlaw Ron Bass' head bald and the following week he attacked 'the Barber' and they put a huge 'X' on the screen.
Sure I miss the "old days" because I was younger then and anyone my age would love to have some years back. I liked the product better during previous eras when things were less politically correct and illness and injuries weren't as paramount. That's not to say that I don't like today's biz but if I had my way many things would change.
gotta ask... although you may not feel your recoveries have been to your liking, there are obviously a large number of us who do not just feel that you have recovered well, but also very, very, quick. That being said, there are going to be a few roads meeting pretty soon. 1-you will recover pretty soon and be ready to work again. 2-your contract is expiring 3-you now have a reputation for being an amazing announcer (In sports, not just Sports-entertainment) 4-You seem to have a greater enthusiasm when it comes to Football. Do you think these things could, would, influence your career in the next year? IE. Leaving the WWE?
Firstly I just want to be healthy. My contract talks will resume soon as I understand it. I am not concerned about finding work. I don't know about the football work as I am not relocating from Norman for any job. I love football and would love to do OU football on radio some day but I've been saying that for almost 50 years. I love the wrestling biz or I would not have stayed in it for 35 years especially with some of my personal experiences within the biz. One can never forecast how negotiations will go. more »
Hey Jr. Who was a bigger draw for the WWE for the last 25 years Hulk Hogan or Stonecold Steve Austin. Hogan put the WWE on the map. Stonecold saved the WWE with the rivarly with Mr. MaMachon. That would have been cool to see a Hogan vs Austin match at a wreslemania. Hogan put WWE on the map. Austin saved WWE from going out of bussiness. Hogan is greatest draw in Wrestling Austin became a Draw too. Hogan and Austin are the greatest draws Vince and the WWE ever had. In 2002 when Hogan camed back it should have been at wrestlemaina 18 Hogan v.s Austin. I would have picked Austin all the way. Hogan would have made it a classic crowd reacation at his best and JR calling that match would have been a classic and Gordon Sollie looking down from heaven with a smile. Get well soon JR. Jonty Belleville, NJ
The Hulk vs. Austin ship has sailed. Hogan had a better run if time/tenure is your criteria plus Hogan was the guy who got pro wrestling really noticed in the pop culture world in the expanded world of electronic media. However, no one ever had bigger single, years than did Austin who took the biz to another level at the proliferation of cable and satellite TV.
