Jim Ross’ voice has been iconic in wrestling history, especially during key moments like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s rise and Triple H’s villainous acts. Fans often imagine how these moments would sound with JR on the call, as seen with John Cena’s heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025.
On the latest edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, Ross expressed appreciation for fans’ connection to his announcing style but also acknowledged that these videos might overshadow Michael Cole’s contributions. He said,
“Yeah, it’s nice. I saw the same thing. It’s nice. I feel bad because it takes away from Michael Cole, and that’s not the objective, but everybody’s got their taste. My delivery and my presentation in moments like that are different, and I don’t think that you can replicate them. That’s just me.”
He added, “I liked the hell out of it [Cena’s heel turn]. I thought it was timely. I thought it made sense. I thought it added to the show. It was a jaw-dropper, to say the least. So, I had no issues with it at all. I thought it was fabulous.”
