Thirty years ago, the landscape of professional wrestling changed forever. On this special edition of Grilling JR, Jim Ross and Conrad Thompson celebrate the 30th anniversary of King of the Ring 1996, one of the most influential events in WWE history.

Join JR and Conrad as they revisit the action from June 23, 1996, at the MECCA Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the future of the business was shaped before our eyes. The card featured Shawn Michaels defending the WWF Championship against The British Bulldog, Ahmed Johnson battling Goldust, and Ultimate Warrior colliding with Jerry "The King" Lawler.

But history belongs to one man. Relive the unforgettable night "Stone Cold" Steve Austin captured the King of the Ring crown and delivered the legendary "Austin 3:16" speech that launched one of the greatest careers in wrestling history and helped ignite the Attitude Era. JR shares behind-the-scenes stories, memories from the event, and his perspective on one of the most important turning points the wrestling business has ever seen. All that and much more on this can't-miss anniversary edition of Grilling JR!
