About Jim
James William Ross, born on January 3, 1952, is an American professional wrestling commentator, sports announcer, and podcaster based in Arlington, Texas. He is signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he serves as a commentator, analyst, and senior advisor. Ross is most recognized for his extensive career as a play-by-play commentator for WWE and is widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestling announcers of all time. He has been affectionately known as Good Ol' JR by WWE fans. Throughout his career, Ross has been involved in various roles within the wrestling industry, including occasional storylines and participation in nine wrestling matches from 1999 to 2011. His early career saw him become the primary play-by-play announcer for Mid-South Wrestling in the early 1980s. He subsequently worked for the National Wrestling Alliance's World Championship Wrestling territory before joining the World Wrestling Federation in 1993, making his debut at WrestleMania IX. During his tenure with WWE, Ross was considered the voice of the company, especially during the Attitude Era of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Outside of wrestling, he has served as the lead English-language announcer for New Japan Pro-Wrestling and has occasionally called boxing and mixed martial arts fights. Ross's contributions to the sport have been recognized through inductions into the WWE, NWA, and Wrestling Observer Newsletter halls of fame, as well as honors from the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame. Beyond wrestling, Ross is known for his barbecue sauce and beef jerky brand, J.R.'s Family BBQ, and he hosts a weekly podcast, Grilling JR.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
