Episode 397: Conversation with Jim Herd

The Voice of Wrestling, Jim Ross, sits out this special edition of Grilling JR as Conrad Thompson opens the archives to remember former WCW president Jim Herd, who passed away last month. To honor Herd and his contributions to the sport we love, we're sharing a candid sit-down interview Conrad recorded with him five years ago.

From his career outside professional wrestling to his time at the helm of World Championship Wrestling, Herd looks back on his life and work in his own words. Conrad asks the questions wrestling fans have wanted to ask for decades and gives Herd the floor to explain how he saw the decisions that fans still debate today.

It's a rare chance to hear Jim Herd tell his side of the story in a conversation you won't hear anywhere else.
