Brief Re-cap of Cauliflower Alley Club 2010 Event + Photos
Source: Slam Wrestling
LAS VEGAS - For more than 30 years, Jim Ross has been calling slobberknockers. On Tuesday, he delivered one of his one. The veteran announcer, whose Oklahoma twang represents the sound of the sport to a generation of fans, had a packed house at the annual Cauliflower Alley Club banquet hanging on his every word, as he accepted Art Abrams Lifetime Achievement Award.
Comparing himself to past Art Abrams winners such as Dan Gable and Danny Hodge, he joked: "I feel like a pair of brown shoes at a formal wedding ... This is a really neat honor."
Ross’ stemwinder, which ranged from the ribald to the serious, was one of the highlights of the banquet, which capped the club’s three-day reunion at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino.
He was introduced by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who credited Ross’ commentary with helping him to hit the heights of wrestling in the 1990s.
"When you’ve got a gut like 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, full of piss and vinegar, and you can make people feel sorry for him because he’s being screwed by the boss, that’s a hell of an accomplishment," Austin said.

Steve Austin confirmed with me today that he would be in Las Vegas on April 21 to introduce me at the Cauliflower Alley Club's 45th Annual Banquet where I will receive the Art Abrams Lifetime Achievement Award. For Steve to make time for the CAC and for me is extraordinarily special considering that he is working overtime promoting 'Damage' on DVD and preparing to promote his June DVD release entitled 'Stranger.' Steve couldn't be busier but he's excited about CAC and being there on a special night for me. One of the great benefits of being a part of the wrestling business are the relationships one has the opportunity to make and my friendship with Steve and his family is special.
Be sure to head over to JR's blog or his Twitter to congratulate him on his award!!!
