Today's New York Times has a story talking about "The most impactful sports TV play-by-play voices of the 21st century" and Michael Cole and Jim Ross were mentioned. The piece, written by Richard Deitsch, stated the following:
Michael Cole and Jim Ross also get a mention here. Yes, pro wrestling is not a sport; it is scripted athletic entertainment. But Cole and Ross fall under the aegis of play-by-play broadcasters for me and they delivered with verve and passion for their audience. Think about how many millions of people have heard their wrestling calls since 2000 between WWE/WWF, WCW, New Japan Pro Wrestling and AEW.
Joe Tessitore is also listed for his work in mainstream sports.
