Jim Ross has called countless wrestling matches, but on the latest episode of Grilling JR, he took time to call out the best of the best behind the desk.
With Bryan Danielson now joining AEW Dynamites commentary team, JR broke down his top five wrestlers-turned-announcers and explained exactly why each man earned their spot. Kicking things off at number one was his longtime partner in crime, Jerry The King Lawler. JR didnt hesitate in ranking him at the top.
Coming in at number two, JR named the legendary Gorilla Monsoon someone who not only left a lasting impression with fans but gave JR a warm welcome during his early WWF days.
At number three, JR saluted the one and only Bobby The Brain Heenan, calling him both hilarious and impactful.
At number four, Taz got his flowers and JR made sure people knew that the former ECW Champion has grown into a dependable voice in AEW.
Rounding out the list at number five was Excalibur, the current voice of AEW Dynamite. JR admitted Excalibur might not have had the most famous in-ring career, but his intelligence and skill on the mic made him undeniable.
JRs picks show just how important it is to blend wrestling knowledge with the ability to communicate effectively and its clear that Bryan Danielson will be stepping into some elite company as he transitions to the booth.
