Most inaccurate statement Jim Ross??

[Guest LooneyTune]

Schiavone wasn't always horrible...just from 1997-on when he called everything a Side Slam or a Powerbomb...even if it's a clothesline.

His BatB comments post-Hogan joining the yet-unnamed nWo were very memorable, but that's when he quickly started devolving, IIRC.

 

Tenay was sometimes a little hyperbolic too. Remember Hector Garza? A marginally talented Luchadore who was given a brief push probably because he had a good look and NO MASK~!

 

His big move was like a 360 plancha. just twisting on his vertical axis 360 degrees. Didn't even get much air. A moonsault is 10x as impressive. Whenever he did this move (always on 7 guys who held him, then comically fell) Tenay would start hyperventilating about the twisting cyclone splash or something like that. 'I've never in all my years seen something like that!' This while Mark Mero was doing SSPs as his finisher in the WWF. Going overboard on 7 guys catching endless weak planchas is what made Tenay seem like a joke.

Jim Ross sounds worse when he's completely bored. See for example Christian v. Jericho v. RVD 3-Way IC Title from Unforgiven 2003. He's just so bored he just calmly and quietly calls PBP, not even bothering to make a conversation with Lawler, and just phoning it in.

He used to phone it in big time when he did Action Zone w/ Todd Pettingill. JR sounded so ashamed that he was calling midget tag matches w/ a goof. He played along but w/ 1/1000 of the energy as when Austin got hot.

I was just dubbing the Greater Power ep of Raw for someone and after the bikini contest w/ Debra and Nicole Bass, Debra pecked Lawler on the cheek which prompted him to let out an "OHHHH!!!" in excitement. Then, JR quips,

 

"Good thing King is wearing black tights."

 

BUT, Lawler was wearing red tights. Doh!

I just love how if he didn't know the name of a move, he would just go "What a move!"

I rememer this one which seemingly came out of nowhere.

 

"King, don't encourage those 16-year-old kids to go out and get fake driver's licenses...so they can play Little League baseball!" - J.R.

 

Even Lawler was confused.

 

"J.R., what in the world are you TALKING about?!" - The King

oh he must have been refereing to the LLWS scandal in which the bronx team's big star pitcher turned out to be like 15 or 16 years old and his dad had used a fak ebirth certifciate to get him in LL

 

JR messed up the joke obviously
