In the early 1900s, wrestlers who attained main event success were largely all tough men who could handle themselves in any environment whether it be in a wrestling ring or a tavern.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Over the years, I've had many talented broadcast partners that have helped me grow as an announcer.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Men should know that no job is more important than their family. I had that all screwed up for a long time. I regret it.
Quote by -Jim Ross
I've been selling things all my life. I sold wrestling for a long time. I sold the talent and sold the matches.
Quote by -Jim Ross
I used to roll my eyes when I heard the term 'workaholic,' but I guess if the shoe fits, you got to wear it.
Quote by -Jim Ross
When one chooses a life as a public personality they give up certain levels of privacy but in one's home and intimate moments everyone should be protected.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Many talents hurt themselves by over thinking the business and doing too much which waters every thing down and makes major moves mean less.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Jericho uses tried and true, fundamental pro wrestling villain techniques to make him effective. He's a master in ring psychologist.
Quote by -Jim Ross
All of the pivotal moments in my adult life are connected to the wrestling business.
Quote by -Jim Ross
I like Twitter because I'm a creature of the short-attention span theater. I can get a lot of sports opinions and other things and Twitter tells me what time it is, but not how to make the watch.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Wrestlemania is big, and I'm glad that I got to go on a real interesting 21-year ride on the road to and out of Wrestlemania.
Quote by -Jim Ross
We live in a very defiant society, especially among young men in the WWE's target demographic. So sometimes when you're really trying to promote somebody and build them, the audience can easily take it as you're trying to force somebody upon them.
Quote by -Jim Ross
For anyone to say that The Rock made a bad decision in pursuing a film career, with the success that film career has garnered, is ill-advised.
Quote by -Jim Ross
The adrenaline of performing live in front of an audience is a feeling that's hard to replicate.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Working with one's boss is a totally different dynamic than working with a peer, especially when doing live or live-to-tape commentary of a genre as unique as sports-entertainment.
Quote by -Jim Ross
That's what friends do - support each other as best that they can no matter the circumstances.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Without question, Jerry 'The King' Lawler is my most recognizable partner and my favorite to work with over the years. We endured several things together that reach far beyond merely signing on and subsequently saying 'good night everybody' at the end of the show.
Quote by -Jim Ross
My folks, I don't think my mom or my dad ever missed a little league game or a football game.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Unlike the on-air talents in the NFL where they have producers figuratively joined at their hip, providing them with info and tidbits of data, we WWE announcers are responsible for getting ourselves ready for every broadcast.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Sports-entertainment has provided me with many blessings, but nothing was ever more unpredictable and fun than hanging with Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, who, in my opinion, are the greatest incarnation of The Four Horsemen and the most important faction to ever step into the ring.
Quote by -Jim Ross
There's no way in hell I'm supposed to be on television or be a broadcaster of any regard. But I have defied those odds because I believe in this: I am damn sure not going to let somebody else define who I am.
Quote by -Jim Ross
There's always another adventure if you keep your head above water and I don't have any desire to slow down because it keeps you young.
Quote by -Jim Ross
That's how I look at it, if you're a wrestling fan, either support everybody and their families to make a living or just hold all of your overt criticism to yourself.
Quote by -Jim Ross
They always say you don't want to follow a legend. A few have been able to do that. I think Bill Cowher followed Chuck Noll pretty well with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But it's hard to do at a lot of places.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Sometimes our passion will motivate us to say things that can easily be misunderstood.
Quote by -Jim Ross
The black man's journey within the genre of grappling wasn't unlike the challenges their brethren faced in professional sports, entertainment and, most importantly, everyday life. To say it was challenging would be a massive understatement.
Quote by -Jim Ross
I've been a wrestling fan my whole life, and for so many years a lot of us have been, for lack of a better word, bullied. We've been teased, kidded, eyes rolled from our peers and family members. 'You watch wrestling?!?' I see my shows as a safe zone, a safe haven.
Quote by -Jim Ross
People think you can wave a magic wand and create a star, that couldn't be further from the truth. People think that a promoter has all the cards and the talents are merely pawns and they have very little do with the bigger success, when they have most of their success because of what they do.
Quote by -Jim Ross
I always say the wrestlers provide the music and the announcers write the lyrics. You have to feel what you're seeing and experiencing to write the best lyrics.
Quote by -Jim Ross
I would never tie in creative with a talent's contract. To me, that is insanity. Creative needs change, talents evolve or not, and to be locked in to a talent having the ability to not run the plays that the team dictates is not smart business.
Quote by -Jim Ross
One of my biggest fears, in both my personal and business life, is residing too long in my comfort zone.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Two men that did treat me well from day one were Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon. Thanks to them being old pros and having the class of a pair of WWE Hall of Famers and true gentlemen, I was given a chance to prove myself to them as a human being.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Most fans don't realize how challenging it is to broadcast live TV, especially in a hybrid genre such as WWE.
Quote by -Jim Ross
Since I was a young wrestling fan, I've been fascinated by super heavyweights and was always amazed at Yokozuna's amazing grace and agility. How could a man who was so large still remain so athletic and retain perfect in-ring timing and spot-on psychology?
Quote by -Jim Ross
The first thing that you need to be a draw, to be a star, is the intangible 'It' factor. You cannot manufacture 'It,' you cannot replicate 'It.'
