"He puts so much credibility on everything that he calls" - Bully Ray gives his honest opinion of WWE legend
WWE's Attitude Era was once filled with the voice of the legendary Jim Ross, who called many of the promotion's matches. In a recent podcast, Bully Ray praised the legend who now comments on AEW.
Bully Ray is mainly known for his run as Bubba Ray Dudley within WWE. The star has had numerous exciting moments that were called by the legendary JR. According to many wrestling fans, without Ross, these matches would have been far less memorable.
During the most recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast, the wrestling legend looked back on some of his matches that JR called.
"[He] puts so much credibility on everything that he calls, and he’s been doing that from day one. The first TLC from Sumerslam? JR called that match. He called WrestleMania 2000’s ladder match, he called TLC 2. [He adds] credibility across the board to anything we’ve done and anything that he calls. Once again a great job by JR last night," Ray said. (27:38 - 28:04)

“That’s from Jim Ross. He was in the Pseudo Dungeon that had been built, I was supposed to do a quick one and he just came up off the top of his head ‘Say have a nice day.’ Then I ran with that. Who knew, that was 22 years later, I’d still saying ‘Have a nice day?'” Foley said. (H/T Wrestling Inc)
If there was ever a wrestler that truly deserved to be World Heavyweight Champion,it definitely was Mick Foley,who,as his Mankind persona,won the WWF Championship on three occasions. https://t.co/vawv6fBcNr
