JIM ROSS
Jim Ross, or famously referred to as "Good Ole J.R.", has been one of wrestling’s most influential
figures, both as an executive and as the most recognizable announcer in the business. Known to
sports entertainment fans around the world as the Voice of Professional Wrestling, J.R. has nearly
done it all. He has traveled the world and had a ringside seat for some of the most amazing
moments in pro wrestling history, while being welcomed into the homes of millions of viewers each
and every week.
In April 2017, J.R. signed a new contract with WWE, making a surprise guest appearance to call the
Undertaker’s apparent last match at WrestleMania 33. Good Ole J.R. entertains fans with his weekly
Ross Report podcast and is still a fixture on television through his broadcast work for New Japan Pro
Wrestling on Mark Cuban’s AXS Network. He also calls the play-by-play for boxing on CBS,
alongside Al Bernstein.
Over the course of his illustrious career, he broadcasted football games at nearly every level and
league, including the NFL, high school and college, and was a football, basketball and baseball
official. Outside of sports entertainment, Ross is a New York Times bestselling author, barbecue
sauce entrepreneur and steadfast advocate for Bell’s palsy, a disease which has affected him since
1994, in addition to being the National Chairman of Headlock on Hunger. He is also an avid
supporter of the Oklahoma Sooners football team, and can often be found along the sidelines of their
games.
Nowadays, he spends time with his fans on the road, sharing his life story via his one-man show:
RINGSIDE with Jim Ross. With his signature 200X Resistol hat and renowned southern charm,
RINGSIDE with Jim Ross allows fans to get up close and personal with Ross and the world of sports
entertainment. J.R. shares stories and anecdotes from his time with legends such as Stone Cold
Steve Austin, The Rock and Mick Foley, to his recruiting and hiring of modern day superstars like
John Cena and Brock Lesnar during his tenure as WWE’s EVP of Talent Relations. From ringside to
backstage, over a span of four decades, Ross was present for nearly all of pro wrestling’s
memorable clashes and spectacular moments, giving him an insider’s view on the sport, industry
and its superstars. No stone remains unturned during his tell-all, intimate and interactive event.
