Brian Gewirtz: “Jim Ross doesn’t just call a match, he makes you believe.”

Bret Hart: “To my memory, Jim Ross was the greatest play-by-play wrestling commentator there is, was, and ever will be . . . He brought TV’s greatest wrestling matches to life, and the many unforgettable memories that come involving each superstar on each telecast, taking you there word-by-word, guiding you carefully to the finish for one more wild ride.”

Kenny Omega: “Jim Ross hasn’t just been the narrator guiding us along our journey in pro wrestling – he has become the voice synonymous with wrestling. It’s been the greatest honor to have experienced his work as a fan, and to also have benefitted by working alongside him in AEW.”

Mick Foley: “Jim Ross has the ability to turn a good match into a great match, and a great match into the stuff of legend.
