Ross asks Thompson if he can name his three favourite wrestling matches. Thompson says he’d have to choose Bret Hart versus Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13, the cage match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, and the “I quit” match between Ric Flair and Terry Funk. In terms of matches he’s been in the audience for, he says he’ll never forget when Brock Lesnar defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30.
Ross asks Thompson to list his Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling. He says there’s no bad list, but he’d choose Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and “Macho Man” Randy Savage.
A listener writes into the show and asks Ross if he thinks WWE’s infamous OVW class from the early 2000s, which featured Lesnar, Cena, Orton, amongst others, will ever be matches. Ross says it’s hard to know since there are so many factors in play, but he admits that class will be very hard to beat. He informs that Lesnar was actually the foreman of ring crew during his time in OVW since he grew up on a farm and knew how to drive a truck and pull a trailer.
That sums up this week’s episode of The Jim Ross Report. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
