I'm genuinely surprised that this is the first time I've heard someone say the wrong promotion on commentary. Especially since JR spent ~30 years calling WWE shows. I think Nigel accidentally said ROH instead of NXT once, but yeah, it's rare. I'm sure that he's called at least one match that was on that show in ROH as well, so I could understand that.

Of all the genuinely terrible nights JR has had on commentary, this one harmless forgivable flub is somehow the one that got people mad. I hate wrestling fans. Even when they get one right it's still for the wrong reasons. Unfortunately there are things in wrestling that people are ready to be outraged about before they've even happened so when they do happen it gets blown out of all proportion.

I'm sure the second mention of WWE in two weeks sent Bubba Ray Dudley into a tailspin! Glad someone's counting, I can't be bothered any more. You can't count to like...4? No reason to mire down in AEW v. WWE, but man is it a false narrative to act like AEW spends all its time riffing on big brother WWE.

As much as I respect JR I do feel that he does more harm than good and would rather he be moved on
Having said that, I didn’t even pick up on this flub and in the grand scheme of things not worth getting worked up over

Saying this was a disgrace to the memory of Brodie Lee is a bigger disgrace to the memory of Brodie Lee than what was perhaps JR's most honest mistake Yeahh, honestly I bit my tongue on that one but really I thought that was kinda disrespectful to bring Brodie Lee into this.

Honestly in terms.of some of the stuff JR has done on commentary him saying WWE by accident is rather tame. He went months where he would sound downright bored or offended by what was going on at times and that made the commentary distracting at times

Saying this was a disgrace to the memory of Brodie Lee is a bigger disgrace to the memory of Brodie Lee than what was perhaps JR's most honest mistake To be fair, that poster's been silent ever since he made that stupid claim. Thanks saying how I feel about something is stupid. I stand by what I said, whether it's popular or not. Whether Jim Ross meant it or not, whether he is older and makes mistakes is irrelevant to how I felt when I made the statement. I think it was disrespectful. Jim Ross is the greatest of all time, but him botching at the end of the video took away from the video and the emotions I was feeling, and it did for a lot of people. People can say I'm wrong, call me stupid all they want, but mocking how I felt about the botch after shedding tears for the video really puts the whole wrestling forum thing in perspective. Why would I want people to empathize with how I cried after seeing Brodie Lee, and then JR saying what he did? Because what's a better thing to do on a wrestling forum than dunk on someone who obviously was having an emotional reaction to a moment. Congratulations dunkers, you successfully made me feel like an emotional idiot for sharing how angry I was at the botch after having a visceral cry about Bodie Lee. Lesson learned.

That thing where he said Kingston was a brawler with a few wrestling moves was weird.
I mean he is a brawler, but the dude has more actual wrestling moves than posts broken neck Steve Austin. And JR never accused Stone Cold of having little actual wrestling moves.

Congratulations dunkers, you successfully made me feel like an emotional idiot for sharing how angry I was at the botch after having a visceral cry about Bodie Lee. Lesson learned. You aren't stupid for feeling emotional. I however stand by my own point that I truly don't think it did anything substancial. AEW uploaded the video separately. It's still as emotional and as well produced as it ever was before. JR has ill timing on his remark. That was the worst part about it. He owned up to it and he apologized and that's all he can do. I don't think the name of Brodie Lee was tarnished. I don't think it ever will be tarnished. It was a goofy remark made right before the show ended. In the end that's all it was. No one's really talking about it anymore while when it comes to AEW people are praising the ratings comeup being back on Wednesdays, getting hyped for Road Rager, and sharing their favorite Daily's Moments. In the end what JR said is a blip on the radar. It'll make a Botchamania... but I think it will be the farthest thing from a black mark or a disgrace to anyone's legacy or memory. It just was unfortunate that it happened and I'm sorry it hurt you the way it did.

I apologise if this sounds harsh, because it's not meant to, but you should perhaps read back what you've just typed and and give it some thought because there's no way that what happened at the end of Dynamite should be causing you that much distress. It was just an old man getting letters mixed up, an old man who was probably also experiencing some pretty raw emotions after watching back the video package too. It wasn't done out of spite, or to cause disrespect, it was just a mistake. Just take it for it was and move on, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I didn't tell anyone how to react to anyone's death. I said that someone making a very minor mistake probably shouldn't generate such a visceral reaction, I apologise if that wasn't clear enough.

When you tell someone that something shouldn't be causing them a certain level of distress, you're telling them how to feel. If you're telling them that it isn't healthy to feel a certain level of emotion, then we are going to a place that is not appropriate to these boards.

So how was he last night folks? Only thing that stands out for me is that he hyped up his interview with Ethan Page and Darby Allin and for some reason mentioned it being in a weird dark room, then it was in a room that was lit perfectly normally.
