What would you consider the equivalent of “Do you believe in miracles” or “Down goes Frazier” for wrestling commentary? What is the all time greatest call by an announcer? I personally think it’s “Good God Almighty, good God Almighty, they killed him. As God as my witness he’s broken in half.”

''Yes Yes Yes Yes!!He did it,I told you Monsoon!! Yes Yes Yes Yes!!! That’s up there too. It being re-edited in future broadcasts takes it down a peg tho. |

Definitely JR during the hell in a cell at KOTR 1998.

Marc Lowrance calling Ric Flair vs Kerry Von Erich at the David Von Erich Memorial Tournament in 1984.
One, two, THRAYYYY! (with his voice cracking).

"Horowitz Wins!!!"
For real though, I think "The irresistible force meeting the immovable object" from Hulk/Andre at WrestleMania 3 is deserving. That is arguably the most famous match in pro wrestling history and that quote from Gorilla is said during their historic stare down which is arguably one of the most famous visuals in pro wrestling history. Hard to top that.

"Seth Rollins with the heist of the century!"
Not really one of the best ever, but of more recent times. Michael Cole gets props for that one.

But seriously, JR in the entire segment of Austin returning to help Team WWF on Raw.

''Yes Yes Yes Yes!!He did it,I told you Monsoon!! Yes Yes Yes Yes!!! I've got to take off the gloves and say that this was the greatest performance ever by an announcer. In a match that was perhaps the most star-studded Royal Rumble ever, and often regarded as the best one, Bobby Heenan even outshined the in-ring talent. No disrespect to anyone in the match, but the Brain was absolutely on fire that night. |

Pretty much anything said by JR in the late 1990s, early 2000s even a small moment like "that's HAKU" when Haku returned to the rumble. He said everything with enthusiasm and despite his position in WWF he spoke as if he had no idea Haku was returning, he may even not have known.
If I had all the money in the world I would pay him to do voice overs for my favorite shows (mysteries, actions and dramas) where he the surprise ending happens and he said "bah gawd" a few times. A lot of the newer Law & Order SVUs seem to have a turning point that wasn't expected and I'm so shocked and want to hear JR's voice on these episodes.
