Jim Ross

James W. (Jim) Ross, also known as J.R., or Good Ol' J.R. (born January 3 1952 in Westville, Oklahoma), is a professional wrestling play-by-play announcer working for World Wrestling Entertainment on the RAW brand. Prior to his work in professional wrestling (which began in 1982), he had been announcing football games for the University of Oklahoma. He is known to be a sufferer of Bell's palsy, which sometimes results in temporary paralysis of Ross' facial muscles. Despite his condition, Ross has established himself as one of the all-time greatest wrestling commentators, often compared to the legendary Gordon Solie. Ross has his own brand of barbeque sauce and his own selection of cookbooks.
