Jim Ross tells it like it is.
Jim Ross, 72, is a legend in the wrestling world, and he continues to call some of the matches at AEW pay-per-views. He is set to call the world title match between Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson at AEW All In.
Speaking on Grilling JR, Jim Ross looked forward to the pay-per-view and responded to critics who might say that he looked old.
“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.
Ross later reiterated that he was excited about the opportunity to be a part of AEW All In and call the world title match. He made it clear that he viewed it as a chance to do what he loved.
“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.
