There
are few people who have been in the wrestling business
longer than Jim Ross. And those who have made it as
long as he has (half a century to be exact) probably
made enemies or burned bridges. But that’s just
not JR.
Slobberknocker
is the story of how an Oklahoman farm kid, with a
vivid imagination and seemingly unattainable dreams,
became “The Voice of Wrestling” to record
TV audiences and millions of fans around the world.
Jim
opens up about his life as an only child on a working
farm, who became obsessed with professional wrestling
having first saw it on his grandparent’s TV.
Even though the wrestling business was notoriously
secretive and wary of “outsiders,” he somehow
got a foot in the door to start a historic career,
one where he held almost every job in the business?from
putting up the ring to calling matches, from driving
his blind, drunk boss towards revenge, to consoling
two naked 600 pound brothers in the shower room after
a rough match.
With
all those adventures and responsibilities, he’s
also recognized as the man who built and nurtured
a once-in-a-generation talent roster that took the
WWE to new heights, including “Stone Cold”
Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, and The Rock to name a
few. Readers will finally get the opportunity to hear
never-before-told stories about the politics, wackiness,
and personalities of all the biggest stars.
But
this isn’t just a wrestling story. It’s
a story about overcoming adversity and achieving your
dreams, as success did not come without significant
costs and unforeseen challenges to JR, including multiple
bouts of severe facial paralysis called Bell’s
Palsy.
Currently
the host of the podcast The Ross Report, any fan of
wrestling?from the territory days to today?will be
enthralled with stories from the road and behind the
scenes. Slobberknocker is the first time Ross tells
his story?and you don’t want to miss it!
