Jim Ross is one of the most legendary wrestling commentators in history. He recently praised fellow commentator Booker T for his current work on NXT.
Speaking during the most recent episode of Grilling JR, Ross had nothing but praise Booker T’s work on NXT, calling him “funnier than hell” and one of the better commentators in the whole sport. (H/t Fightful for the transcription)
“Do you ever listen to Booker’s commentary on NXT? He’s funnier than hell,” Ross said. “‘Shucky ducky quack quack.’ He’s one of the best [guys in wrestling], and a good dude. I was the guy that encouraged him to tell his story, his story about going to prison and rehabilitating himself, getting out of prison, making his way in the indies with his brother, Stevie Ray. Booker, his story’s great, and I’m proud of him. He’s got a wonderful family and he’s got a good business building there at this school and his promotion.”
Jim Ross Would Have A Blast With Booker T
Ross went on to highlight how Booker T has relaunched his career. He again praised his commentary and said that he would lose to work with him.
“So he’s made the transition very well,” he said. “Booker T’s a great example of how a wrestler can redesign or relaunch their own career because that’s what he did, and he’s successful at it. Now, he’s got a regular gig, he’s on TV every week, and he’s funnier than hell. If you listen closely to his commentary, it’s very entertaining. I’d love to work with Booker T someday. I think we’d have a blast.”
