Jim Ross, legendary commentator in the world of professional wrestling, will add another accolade to his already impressive trophy case as the Cauliflower Alley Club well present him with this NWA Lifetime Achievement Award.
Ross was both the voice of WCW in the early years, and later in the WWF/E where he made himself a legend in the field calling matches for over a decade with the company. Both side title plate represent both eras of his career, with the center plate commemorating all things JR. From the Boomer Sooner slogan to the cowboy hat, it embodies the imagery of what comes to mind when somebody says the name “Jim Ross”.
