He's certainly a hell of a lot better than the random bimbos everyone seems to enjoy so much.

I Like TNA, and Borash is by far my favourite (non match) thing on there. His interaction with the wrestlers is just amazing

He is awesome. The way he builds up friendships with different characters. And doesn't speak to, or ask the same questions. He has a unique interviewing way with each individual wrestler.

JB is so awesome they use him for more then just backstage interviews, he's a critical part of the show.  |

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I remember listening to Borash on the radio out of Minnesota when he, Mick Karsch, Dave Scherer, and Bob Ryder hosted a weekly show?

The thing that differentiates Borash from Grisham or Kevin Kelly or any other backstage interviewer douchebag you want to mention is that he has more going for him than just being this 'loser' character. While Kevin Kelly was only entertaining because he was a tool and The Rock could rip him apart, Borash has genuine acting ability and can be funny as hell sometimes. Quite why he still does the main event super ring announcing gig, I'm not sure. But he's cool.

I like the dude. He was also involved in Forever Hardcore and that earns him some bonus points in my book.

Infact I think Forever Hardcore was his conception, and its certainly him asking the questions. Plus the bit at the end where he talks about Chris Candido always brings a tear to my eye. |

Ya that whole Candido thing was classy. Borash seems like a pretty alright dude who genuinely loves the business. |

Borash is a great interviewer, he has his own personality but doesn't let it get in the way of the wrestlers getting over, he doesn't mind being insulted or attacked, and acts very well during skits (remember the eric young skits?)

He's fun to watch and you can tell from Forever Hardcore that he's a good guy who loves wrestling

Borash is good, but I think it helps that he is a writer. Gives him an edge with creativity.

I agree. He's really talented. Works real hard. TNA is his life. Gotta admire someone like that.
And someone mentioned his old radio show...that's crazy. Borash was fresh outta college with a six figure deal with WCW.

Yes, I know I'm postwhoring...but I figured I'd put in my two cents worth.
I went to the TNA House Show in Des Moines back in August and I left that show wishing that I had made some better connections when I was in college.
Back in 1997, I had just started my first year in the broadcasting program at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, IA. Jeremy Borash was a DJ at KUEL FM up there. He was doing a remote at my college and I had introduced myself and told him I had just started the radio program over there. We talked about radio for a bit and that was about the end of it.
A year or so later, I saw Borash announcing on WCW Nitro and was like "no friggin' way!"
Fast forward to August 2007...ten years later...did not graduate with my degree in broadcasting, got screwed over quite a few times and me not in radio...but that's another sob story for another time...which I'm sure I've put on here already a long time ago.
After the TNA show, Jeremy's signing a few autographs and whatnot, and I step up and tell him "you've come a long way from Fort Dodge, eh?" He chuckles and agrees...I bring up the whole thing about us meeting when I was in college and how I was in the program...then he tells me that he brought his old boss from KUEL to TNA...none other than Bill Banks...the guy who works on the web site kinda like how Mean Gene Okerland (sp?) did the WCW Hotline...but that's as far as I know.
So it's bad enough that I could have made a connection with Jeremy Borash, but now come to find out that Bill Banks...a guy who taught one of my classes at ICCC.
So one of those coulda woulda shoulda deals...maybe had I become better aquaintances with those two, perhaps I'd be employed in the wrestling business these days. Who knows?
