Jim Ross may now be gone from WWE, but his timeless announcing will live forever in the minds of the people who matter, the fans. On a cheerier note, JR is a prominent vocal feature of the WWE Network, such was his lengthy tenure with the promotion. The long-forgotten WWE Classics On Demand subscription service served as almost a forebear to the Network, albeit in more limited form. One of the best things about Classics On Demand were the regular Legends Of Wrestling Roundtables shows, hosted by Ross. Accompanied by a bevvy of legendary names, the Hall Of Fame commentator discusses a wide variety of topics, including those with the worst backstage heat, wrestlers who were inexplicably never World Champion, and other subjects. Once you watch one of these programs, it's likely you'll watch another - the roundtable sessions come across as a sneak peak behind the curtain, and free reign is given to everyone speaking, mainly due to the events being talked about often being years before.
