Jim Ross Recalls Birth Of Vince McMahon ‘Good S**t’ Line

AEW announcer and former WWE commentator Jim Ross has revealed the origins of the infamous Vince McMahon “that’s good s**t’ line.

A number of former WWE names have noted that Vince McMahon often calls things he likes “good s**t”. Jim Ross has revealed that he first heard the phrase in 1997.

On Grilling JR, Ross recalled recording an interview with Mick Foley, which he described as a turning point for Vince McMahon to see what Foley could bring to WWE.

Ross remembered McMahon complimenting Foley with his now-famous phrase. Foley noted:

“We didn’t know Vince was even going to be there, we had no idea. That’s where the famous line that came from Vince, where we got to a certain stopping point and heard this voice and it’s unmistakably Vince saying ‘This is good s**t.’ At that point, Mick is made.”

“He just sold the old man. I don’t know what his thoughts would be if you asked him today, but at that time, he had turned the corner. He got the blessing of the most powerful man in all of pro wrestling. Vince being there was a surprise, a pleasant surprise. When we were done, he was ecstatic. That was a big deal, that was a real big deal.”

Earlier this week, a number of big names were released by WWE. It has since been reported that McMahon didn’t understand some of the released stars’ styles of wrestling.
