10 Greatest Calls Of Jim Ross’ Career

10. Skittles

Probably not the example you were expecting here, but there was no way I could leave JR’s brilliant Skittles promos off of this list.

Product placement segments tend to be some of the blandest and often most cringe-worthy portions of the show. And yet, when the WWE took it upon themselves to mercilessly shill Skittles during the mid-2000s, JR somehow managed to do what so few others have been able to when he made these segments not only bearable, but thoroughly entertaining.

In what must have been something of an inside rib between himself and Jerry Lawler, each week JR would get more and more riled about how fruity, delicious, delicious, fruity, fruity, fruity these Skittles were. Obviously my written interpretation doesn’t quite have the same effect as his verbal one, though.

JR would call these Skittles ads with the very same passion he’d show in a WrestleMania main event, adding in some of his own top-draw one-liners, including “I’m a Skittle-eating fool” and of course “I wonder if Skittles makes BBQ Flavour…”

Probably the most light-hearted entry on this list, but another of JR’s exceptional calls nonetheless.
