Jim Ross is well regarded as one of the greatest wrestling announcers of all time. His career spans decades, from WCW to WWE and now AEW. He has also called sports in the past, including commentating on the Atlanta Falcons radio broadcasts during the 1992 season.
Ross noted on Twitter/X that he did the voice over for this week’s NFL Thursday Night Football game, which airs on Amazon Prime between the Green Bay Packers and Detriot Lions. Fans can look forward to hearing JR’s legendary voice during the cold-open video package.
If you’re watching @PrimeVideo tonight for the @Lions vs @packers showdown check out the cold open that I voiced over this morning. ðŸ¤
