Jim Ross discusses seeing Scotty 2 Hotty backstage at the December 20 AEW Dynamite.
Jim Ross made his return on the December 20 episode of AEW Dynamite as the episode emanated from Ross' hometown of Oklahoma City. While backstage, Ross ran into several familiar faces. One name that is relatively new backstage to All Elite Wrestling is Scott Garland AKA Scotty 2 Hotty.
Ross is under the impression that Scotty will be contributing as a producer backstage for AEW and on the latest episode of his podcast, Grilling JR, Ross praised the former WWE Tag Team Champion and reflected on his history with Scotty.
"I also saw Scotty 2 Hotty there, Scott Garland," said Jim Ross. "I guess he's going to contribute as a producer. Good kid. I like him. I hired him way back in the day. Him and Brian Christopher made a good tag team. A good, mid-card, babyface tag team. Always good on a card. Both were very talented. A lot of people don't realize just how talented Brian Christopher was because, unfortunately, some of the other issues in his life distracted many fans from acknowledging that.
"He's there. He'll do a good job," he continued. "He'll have young ideas. He's old school at heart, an old soul type of thing. So, that's a great get by Tony Khan, I think, with Scott Garland."
In the past, Garland was a part of the WWE NXT system. Fans can read his comments on working with AEW here.
