AEW stalwart Jim Ross recently delved into the reasons behind his memorable commentary on Triple H during the WWF/WWE era, specifically the Attitude Era.
In those times, Triple H emerged as a prominent villain, and it was the legendary voice of Jim Ross that delivered some of the most iconic lines on The Game.
Ross’ vehement disapproval of Triple H played a pivotal role in elevating him to the status of the top heel in the business during that era.
Responding to a video featuring his commentary on Triple H, Jim Ross acknowledged his strategic role in evoking disdain for villains, expressing his hope for success in that regard, particularly with Triple H.
In a tweet, Ross stated,
“My job was to make villains despised. I hope we succeeded with @TripleH. I think we did. 🤠”
