Off the Record with Jim Ross (Part 3)
Final part of Michael Landsberg's sit-down interview with Jim Ross.
In this video J.R. talks about Kurt Angle's health problems, how Stone Cold Steve Austin is dealing with life out of the ring, Trish Stratus as a wrestler, his cookbook and his love for football. Also would J.R. hire himself if he showed up on WWE's doorstep?
Hope you enjoy the videos.

JR is the Madden Of Wrestling.
JR called trish stratus and stacy keibler "items" lmao
This Dr Youngblood has got to be the worst Doctor in history. He sent all these guys back with the following advice. Edge, he’s ok, good to go. Gets injured years later, goes back, doctor says you can’t wrestle anymore. A decade later, Edge sees a different doctor and has a procedure and is cleared and makes a major multi year, full time comeback. Chris Benoit was given a clean bill of health to return, everything in his brain looks fine. Need I say more about that one? We’d be here for hours talking about the insanity of that diagnosis. Stone Cold, almost paralyzed for good. Doctor says he’s good to go and should be fine. Three years later he’s having to retire early from crippling pain and injuries and right now he can’t even fully extend his arms because of his spine, and has never wrestled again, unlike most. Kurt Angle gets seen by this guy, and his diagnosis was specifically as JR just said, “Well, it and his limbs can’t get any worse.” Kurt comes back, wrestled for 10 more years and was only held together physically because of pain killers. Also, that whole “his limbs can’t get any worse” thing? Kurt’s arm is so atrophied it looks like something out of science fiction where his entire arm got aged 100 years into the future and he has what looks like zero muscularity in his biceps or triceps. Their other doctor in Alabama, Dr Andrews is probably the best sports injury surgeon and consultant on the planet during his time. He worked miracles on Hunter getting him back in 9 months from a quad injury where your whole quadricep muscle snaps and rolls all the way up your thigh. A 9 month recovery time that normally takes 12-16 months, on top of the kind of shape Hunter was in is basically a modern day miracle. Triple H came back in the Royal Rumble in the best physical shape of his life, he never looked better than he did that night. Go see for yourself. He did work on Vince when he tore BOTH quads simultaneously and within a year or so, Vince famously had some of the most insane pictures taken on the cover of Muscle and Fitness at the age of around 60. Obviously the quad thing with Nash is a meme, but he never tore it or had major issues with it again from 02’ or whenever it happened until this very day. Bottom line, whoever hired their orthopedic doctor deserves a medal. Whoever hired their neuro specialist and kept allowing these wrestlers to keep using him from failure after failure should be thrown in prison. If it’s the same guy who hired on both, they say genius and madness are two sides of the same coin. 😂
Lita and Trish are the Greatest Female Wrestlers of All Time.
THE AUSTIN ERA HAS BEGUN I LOVE JR !!!!!!!!
JR is THE voice of wrestling period
Is it just me or could anyone else see JR doing Monday Night Football? He did very well for the XFL when it was going!
This guy is a legend
Good Ole J.R thx for the upload

OHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT A MOMENT!!!
JR seems like a guy that'd be fun to just sit down, have a beer with, and watch football or baseball or something.
J.R is a fucking legend!
Thanks for the upload
The Best Hands Down.
Michael Landsberg doing his best Ron Burgundy impersonation at 4:21 "Smackdown! ......... s'mores?" "I'm Ron....Burgundy?"
J.R.'s honesty and integrity is unquestionable and unmatchable. Ross may not be telling the entire truth here due to the sensitive nature of his then-job (Senior VP of Talent Relations), but he's not a liar or a fudger.
