7 Spine-Chilling WWE Commentary Calls

1. Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler (King Of The Ring 1998)

Props must go to Jerry Lawler for his deadpan delivery of "That's it, he's dead" at the 1998 King Of The Ring. Earlier, his broadcast colleague Jim Ross had gifted wrestling with one of the most quotable commentary lines of all time. It was the perfect complement to Mankind's suicidal bump from atop the Hell In A Cell structure.

“As God is my witness, he is broken in half”. What a line, one delivered with so much ferocity and made all the more impactful by Lawler mumbling "Oh my God" behind JR's impassioned yelling.

It's actually a toss up between the "...broken in half" line and another. Ross also cried out, "Good God almighty, that killed him", but it's the second half of his hard sell that most wrestling fans recall fondly. Nobody could have expected that level of violence heading into the show, and it came across loud and clear that neither Ross nor Lawler did either.

Wrapping such expert commentary around a monumentally dangerous and spontaneous, albeit immediately historic, moment in WWE history can't have been easy. Ross doing it without hesitation speaks to his genius, and it's why he's one of the most coveted announcers of all time.
