Jim Ross recently talked about a wide range of topics on his Grilling JR podcast.
During the podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer discussed criticism of his age.
“I’m excited about this opportunity. I look at it as an opportunity. A 72-year-old guy who looks old, and the reason for that is, by god, he is, is getting an opportunity to do what he truly loves,” Ross said.
Ross also talked about calling the AEW All In main event of Bryan Danielson challenging Swerve Strickland for the World Title.
“I’m excited about being able to call this match. I appreciate Tony Khan having the faith in me to bring me over. I’m sure there will also be plenty of people watching that will say, ‘Boy, JR looks old.’ Hey, guess what, Einstein? I am old. What the fuck do you want? I’m being a little bit of a turd, but it should be a classic, and there’s nothing on the card that could follow it. So it’s gonna go last, I’m sure,” Jim Ross said.
