Summary
Experience 50 years of wrestling history through the iconic voice of Jim Ross.
For wrestling fans, Jim Ross’ voice is the soundtrack of an era. This book is your ringside ticket to wrestling’s most unforgettable moments—from the announcer who made them iconic.
In the last 50 years, professional wrestling has risen up from a collection of regional territories to become a global phenomenon—and Jim Ross has been there for it all. From the grit and glory days of the 1970s with NWA, to the rise of WCW and the heyday of WWF and WWE, to signing on as on-air talent and senior advisor for wrestling’s newest chapter at AEW, Jim Ross has long had the best seat in the house.
Now, in 50 definitive chapters, chronicling 50 iconic calls across 50 unforgettable years, Business Is About to Pick Up! takes you into the ring, and behind the scenes, as only Jim Ross can.
Immerse yourself in sports entertainment’s most dramatic moments, biggest shocks, and history-making firsts—from watershed collisions like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin versus Bret “Hitman” Hart to industry-shaping milestones like the debut of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the rise of John Cena and Dave Bautista as Hollywood A-list stars, and the birth of All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Then debate which moments Jim Ross just had to include...and what else should’ve made his list.
This book is a celebration of pro wrestling’s past, present, and future—narrated by the Voice of Wrestling himself, who was ringside to call it all.

Another Slobberknocker from Good Ol' JR.
Aside from a couple of factual errors with dates and places and a few jarring audio cuts (like they spliced two different sessions together but forgot check levels) this is another solid piece from the greatest announcer in the history of the business.

good but managed to shoehorn AEW into everything
when he is actually talking about the calls he made and the back story the book is fine. what isn't fine is how he shoehorns AEW into every chapter multiple times, oh this happened in 1984, when Tony Khan was born. comparing Ric Flair Vs Road Warriors to Britt Baker Vs Thunder Rosa. it becomes tedious and irritating
could be alot better

Not as good as I hoped
To be honest a lot of these stories you’ll probably have heard before. And he wangles AEW into every chapter. I don’t really care about how Britt Baker relates to Dusty vs the Road Warriors infamous blood incident. Not as good as Jim’s previous two books. Unless you’re a hardcore - avoid.
