    That "What?!" impression is absolutely dead on And the screen shake at 4:52 was the perfect topper
  • Survivor Series 01 when Jim Ross snaps back at Paul with "Jim Cornette can replace you tomorrow night pal" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†
  • Heyman and JR were awesome together at WrestleMania X7 - Heyman was incredible during the Angle/Benoit and Austin/Rock matches especially.
  • Jim Ross and Paul Heyman were awesome On Commentary Together during the invasion storyline it was brilliant.
  • People don't like to give Heyman the credit he deserves!! Man is a genius
  • - Gorrilla and Heenan were a great commentary comedy duo. - J.R and King were a great funny double act on commentary. - J.R and Heyman were the greatest rivalry duo on commentary ever.
  • @Guru316
    JR and Heyman on commentary during the invasion angle was so good. They complemented each other perfectly. Hearing them argue was gold.
  • @Jeff_Pryce
    One of my favorite announcer combos back in the day was Jim Ross and Paul Heyman/Paul E. Dangerously on WCW from 1989 through 1991. Their dynamics were so great that it got you invested in everything.
  • Paul Heyman is the George Carlin of wrestling. He is absolutely brilliant. I can listen to him all day.
  • I still remember JR and Paul E. getting into those on air arguments. The most enthralling commentary ever. Watching them argue about Austin and Angle I truly believed these guys were about to get into a fight themselves. Brilliant. Love the way Paul talks about f'ing with JR so gleefully.
  • They were really great in the commentary, They had great chemistry.
  • @SaxaboomDK
    Much respect to Heyman and his self-awareness. Big props for paying his respects to Good Ole JR.
  • @azapro911
    Heyman was on fire at that '01 Survivor Series, I still laugh when I remember him saying that JR would be watching Alliance Raw with his feet up on the dog. πŸ˜‚
  • My favorite JR and Paul Heyman moment was Survivor Series 2001 the immunity battle royal. I just laughed a lot in that match especially Paul going β€œ What the hell is Tazz doing here!?!” But my favorite was at the end when Paul said JR was sucking up to the alliance because he called them men and the wwf guys. And then the whole calling Stephanie a jezebel mad me laughed even harder. They were one of the best commentary duos.
  • "Paul Heyman is a pancake-sized fever blister on the lips of life." -- Jim Ross, during live WWE commentary
  • @crazyfun5150
    Honestly I felt like Heyman and JR were better on commentary than The King and JR. To the point I hated to see him leave on commentary once Lawler returned. Him antagonizing JR weekly was hilarious and it was refreshing.
  • @timcarter1263
    One of the best commenting duos ever! They added so much to the feel of the match, which is lacking today. JR always made it seem real just by the passionate way he did his job. JR and Heyman together made it seem unbelievably real. Sounded like they were ready to throw down at anytime and Heyman was funny at times, different than Lawler.

    If this guy had not been into wrestling, he would have been a terrific salesman. I just love the way he sells his ideas to the audience!
