Jim Ross Brings Legendary Voice to NFL Thursday Night Football

Jim Ross is stepping outside the squared circle once again. Known for his unparalleled commentary career spanning WCW, WWE, and AEW, JR is lending his voice to this week’s NFL Thursday Night Football matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions on Amazon Prime.

Taking to Twitter, Ross revealed his involvement in the game’s cold-open video package, promising fans a touch of his signature style ahead of the gridiron action.

“If you’re watching @PrimeVideo tonight for the @Lions vs. @packers showdown, check out the cold open that I voiced over this morning. 🤠” Ross tweeted, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his iconic voice paired with football highlights.

This isn’t JR’s first foray into the world of football. Back in 1992, he brought his enthusiasm to the Atlanta Falcons’ radio broadcasts. His latest NFL appearance comes as another testament to his versatility, even as he continues to contribute to AEW, where he’s been a cornerstone since the company’s inception in 2019.

Despite health challenges in recent years, Ross has remained a beloved figure in AEW, taking on a reduced but impactful role, calling major matches during pay-per-view events. His ability to captivate audiences with his commentary transcends industries, and his NFL feature is sure to be another memorable moment.
