10 Spine-Chilling WWE Calls You'll Never Forget

"Good God almighty! Good God almighty! That killed him!" These were the words shouted down the microphone by Jim Ross at King of the Ring 1998, after Undertaker launched Mankind off Hell in a Cell and through the announce table at ringside.

The main reason this stands out as one of the all-time greatest calls in wrestling history is that it seemed like a true, honest reaction to what he had watched. For a second, a lot of fans really did fear that Mick Foley had just died live on air.

The raw emotion in JR's voice is chilling. You can tell that he is no longer concerned about what happens within the context of WWE storylines. He just wants EMTs to come down to ringside and ensure that his friend is still breathing

If there's one criticism you can level against this piece of broadcasting, it's that every other high-risk stunt since has seemed a little contrived by comparison. Commentators often start pleading with wrestlers to stop minutes before they actually start doing anything. It's almost as though they are consciously trying to get their own "JR moment".
