VIDEO: Basketball commentator jam-packs broadcast with WWE catchphases

We love this way more than we should.

We’re guessing that RJ Choppy is both great craic and a hardcore wrestling fan.

The commentator does the play-by-play commentary for Dallas’ local NBA D-League side, the Texas Legends.

And when the Legends played the Santa Cruz Warriors in November, Good ol’ JR RJ thought he ought to spice the broadcast up by employing as many of his favourite wrestling catchphrases as possible.

Stone Cold Steve Austin’s “What?”, The Rock’s “It doesn’t matter!”, and Hulk Hogan’s “runnin’ wild!” all feature in the commentary.

We don’t know how it’s taken so long for us to see this clip but it’s bloody fantastic.

We’re officially all about RJ Choppy and the NBA D-League.

H/t to Deadspin.
