5 greatest WWE Superstar and announcer pairings in WWE history

#1 ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin - Jim Ross

The number one pick wouldn’t surprise many people. If there ever was a pair that complemented each other to perfection, it was Jim Ross and Steve Austin. With Ross being the perennial good guy, and a voice of reason on the commentary team, it was inevitable for Ross to side with arguably the greatest babyface in professional wrestling history.

With JR’s innate ability to bring a measured cadence according to the situation, his on-screen relationship with Austin blossomed into something tangible.

Ross and Austin were also good friends outside the ring, which helped them in understanding each other. Thus, it comes as no surprise that almost all of Austin’s greatest moments in WWE were called by Jim Ross.
