'''[[Jim Ross|James William "Jim" Ross]]''' (a.k.a. "Good Ol' JR" or just "JR") is one of the greatest ([http://i39.tinypic.com/2lw61j.jpg and most beloved]) commentators in the history of [[Professional Wrestling]], having provided commentary for the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] for almost 20 years (and having worked for several other promotions, including WCW, prior to starting with WWF/E). In addition, he is the man behind his own brand of barbecue sauce, has written cookbooks, and has opened a barbecue restaurant. He is also close friends with [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]]. He is semi-retired from commentating now, though [[The Bus Came Back|he does come back every now and then]]. In his spare time, he also runs [https://web.archive.org/web/20131014023020/http://www.jrsbarbq.com/store a website] that peddles his own brand of condiments and barbecue products.
As usual, [[That Other Wiki]] has additional information on his life and career.

{{creatortropes}}
* [[Action Survivor]]: Has actually wrestled several times. He even beat [[Triple H]] at one point.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: A covert case, but not obvious to the casual wrestling fan who assumes everything is scripted. During the 1998 Hell In A Cell match between [[The Undertaker]] and [[Mick Foley|Mankind]] (a match now considered legendary), Mankind was thrown off the cage, through a table to the floor. He is stretched away, but gets off the stretcher, climbs the cage again and restarts the match - at which point, he is chokeslammed through the roof off the cage to the ring below. Ross shouted: "Will somebody stop the damn match? Enough is enough!" This was out of legitimate concern for Mankind, who had already taken quite a beating up to this point.
Line 74 ⟶ 73:
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Him and Jerry Lawler fits this trope to a T.
* [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix|Stupid Statement Rap]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgpa6hjlUbY "My Ass"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwKoh4QfXss "My Ass II/The Time Has Arrived"].
* [[So Proud of You]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131028015805/http://www.jrsbarbq.com/blog/tuesday-blog-austin-goldberg-punk-bryan-ryder-lesnar-undertaker-kane-nash-lod-jrs-family-bbq Has this opinion of] [[Zack Ryder]] and [[Bryan Danielson]].
* [[Theme Naming]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131014023020/http://www.jrsbarbq.com/store All of the products in his store are named after] [[Professional Wrestling]] tropes and terminology.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Apparently told Kharma that she was too fat to be a Diva.
** [[Justified Trope]]: Kharma [[Insult Backfire|used his statement as fuel to train harder, travel the world]], and ultimately become a sensation in Japan, [[SHIMMER]], and [[TNA]]. A decade later, she and JR [http://www.facebook.com/notes/kharma-wwe/who-shot-jr/114126805342876 became friends] and he ''helped her get signed in WWE''.
