AEW Wrestlers Reportedly Upset With Jim Ross’ Public Criticism

Jim Ross has had a lot to say about the work of some of the All Elite Wrestling stars. Recently he gave some harsh criticism about the overuse of moves like the DDT and the Superkick. As it turns out, some people backstage have taken exception to his comments.

Wrestling News is reporting that they spoke with a few AEW stars about Ross’ comments. In the quote they reported, the source say that while Ross may have a point it doesn’t help the talent to be buried publicly. Here is the quote:

“Look I know there is a lot that JR can teach us but burying us on the show or on his podcast is only going to make some of us ignore what he says. I grew up watching JR and he is the best and we love it that he calls our matches but maybe find a different way to criticize the wrestlers in the ring. Everyone is doing what they have been taught. I agree that sometimes things need to be slowed down but that won’t happen when the guy who is supposed to help put us over is going out there and publicly burying us.”

Jim Ross has been one of the voices of AEW since the company’s first show. He continues to be one of the voices of AEW Dynamite alongside Excalibur and Tony Schiavone.
