I hate to be so critical towards JR, considering he's following his passion and doing what he loves at his age. And when he is on fire, he is better than anyone else in the business when it comes to painting a picture and telling a story about what's happening in the ring.
The main issue with Jim Ross is his inability to remember names and it's reached a point where it's a real issue. I mean when MJF joined Jim Ross, Excalibur, and Tony Schiavone on commentary, JR referred to him as 'Matthew' Jacob Friedman and MJF corrected him in typical heel fashion, which was a little uncomfortable to watch live.

Perhaps the most embarrassing moment of the night came in the main event when Jim Ross referred to Isiah Kassidy as 'Kennedy'. You can give the man who's dubbed the voice of professional wrestling a pass per show, but he didn't make just one botch.
In fact, his inability to get names right was even made part of a promo that I will touch upon later.
