WWE Universe Mourns: The Iconic Voice of Wrestling, Jim Ross, “Good Ol’ JR” Remembered
In a somber moment for the wrestling world, WWE has confirmed the heartbreaking news of the passing of Hall of Famer Jim Ross, affectionately known to millions as “Good Ol’ JR.” For decades, Jim Ross was more than just a commentator — he was the soul and sound of some of the most legendary moments in sports entertainment history. From WrestleMania main events to shocking Monday Night RAW twists, JR’s unforgettable voice echoed through arenas and into the hearts of fans across generations.
Jim Ross began his career in the wrestling business in the early 1970s, climbing the ranks from humble beginnings in regional promotions to becoming the definitive voice of the Attitude Era. His passionate calls, emotional storytelling, and raw authenticity made fans feel every match more deeply. Who could forget his calls like “Stone Cold! Stone Cold!” or the haunting “As God as my witness, he is broken in half!” during the infamous Hell in a Cell match?
Beyond the microphone, JR was a mentor, talent scout, and fierce advocate for the wrestling business. He helped shape careers backstage just as much as he defined them ringside. His love for wrestling, Oklahoma football, and barbecue made him a beloved figure far beyond WWE. Though the wrestling ring may never hear his voice again, Jim Ross’s legacy will live forever in every match, every roar of the crowd, and every fan who grew up hanging on his every word.
Rest in peace, Jim Ross. The bell tolls, but your voice will echo through eternity.
