Ewing-inspired 'slobberknocker' coming to Southfork, featuring Jim Ross and famous pro wrestlers

For those of us who grew up during the renaissance of professional wrestling known as WWE's Attitude Era, Jim Ross was the voice of Monday night. He was like having another Pappaw whose job was to banter with Jerry "The King" Lawler and shout color commentary.

"Good God almighty! It's a slobberknocker!" he'd drawl in Oklahoman.

We're happy to report that, after a brief retirement (or... something), Ross is again calling matches and, in fact, he's headed this weekend to the fictional home of another excitable J.R. -- J.R. Ewing.
