10 Wrestling Matches You Wish Jim Ross Called
10. WWE Royal Rumble 2016
Jim Ross is more than just a guy who gets excited when matches get exciting - he's also a consummate storyteller. While he's great at calling five-star classics, he can also put over a match that serves more of a storyline purpose than anything else.
That would have made Jim Ross an asset during the sometimes-exciting, sometimes-frustrating 2016 Royal Rumble match. The story of that bout was that WWE Champion Roman Reigns - who was forced to enter the Rumble at #1 - was actually defending his belt in the match, meaning a new champion was all but guaranteed.
The bout was a wild hour, with AJ Styles debuting, Sami Zayn returning, and more. Ross could have handled those arrivals with zest, and made some sense of the League of Nations beatdown on Reigns - which many fans lambasted as nonsensical, given that they didn't eliminate him.
Finally, Triple H's master plan - which involved him entering at #30 and eliminating Dean Ambrose to become champion - would have draw a "DAMN HIM!" from J.R.
