5 Commentator matches you may not remember

This guy should only be in the ring to interview wrestlers

#4 Jim Ross vs. Triple H (WWE RAW - April 18, 2005)

Always the whipping boy.

Jonathan Coachman (who will appear on this list for a match exactly one year prior) was in full heel commentator mode. Triple H had lost the title to Batista just two weeks prior during WrestleMania 21 and decided to take his frustrations out on Jim Ross, because why not, I guess.

It was, as you might expect, a No Disqualification match, and JR, as you might expect, bled profusely. Like a stuck pig, to borrow a phrase.

I don’t understand what the obsession is with demolishing Jim Ross (and usually Jerry Lawler when he tries to interfere to save his friend). Triple H first tried to kill him way back in 1999 during a feud with Steve Austin, but why did he go after him during a feud with Batista? Who knows?

This match took place at Madison Square Garden, and JR actually won the match after Batista ran in and took out Ric Flair and Triple H. Still, Ross got absolutely destroyed and had to bleed everywhere. Again. Not cool.
