AEW Off-Topic

His official title right now is as a senior adviser. But he'll most likely be on commentary as well.

And the great moments he'll give us will be calling Nyla Rose, Kayla; calling Nick Jackson by his brother's name Matt and vice versa, pronouncing Cima as Kima, all stuff that will turn into memes within minutes. He won't give us another Mick Foley v Taker inside Hell in a Cell call ever again. He's completely washed. Cody said it best when he was asked why they were so keen on JR, "Because he's Jim '****ing' Ross".

The worst is that JR on his podcast is constantly talking about what's right and wrong with wrestling today, and the idea that it needs to be taken more seriously, but his commentary in recent years has been very scattershot, passive aggressive and tangential at best. He can't just do play by play anymore.

He cannot take social media criticism without being defensive and going on overlong responses disguised as self effacing humor. Basically, he shows how much it annoys him by endlessly telling us it doesn't annoying him. It ruined his NJPW run.

So yeah, not a fan of JR doing AEW commentary. I still like the guy tho. Hurrr, sassafrass.

JR is one of the brightest guys in wrestling and has been around the smartest people, including guys like Bill Watts, Vince McMahon, Flair, Dusty and others. He gives the backroom something that they haven't had since they started signing guys and gives credibility to their booking and talent relations department.

As a commentator, I could probably name about 20 guys I'd rather be in that position.

JR revealed big news.

AEW will premiere on tv in October. Will be on a big network that people have.

Wonder what the deal will be and when they can announce it. Sooner the better. I hope they get a Canadian deal too. Can't just be a coincidence Omega appeared on tsn.

I'm gonna take a guess and say it's TNT/TBS.

I can picture WWE now.

"All Elite Wrasslin?", that's the difference between them and us. We're in the sports entertainment business.

It's not. From everything I've read/heard any chance of them getting a deal on a Turner channel went out the window with the Turner and AT&T merger. I'm guessing they'll end up on like WGN or AXS.
