After serving as the Head of Talent Relations for WWE for many years, he made the move to AEW in 2019. During his time with AEW, Ross has had the opportunity to watch a number of young stars rise to fame and achieve great success.
In a recent episode of his popular podcast, Grilling JR, Ross opened up about his health and how the schedule at AEW is appealing to him. He spoke about how he enjoys seeing the young talent at the company develop and how he wants to help them even more moving forward. Ross expressed his desire to work with AEW’s young talent and coach them, a role he feels he was meant to fulfil.
“I’m doing fine. Our travel’s manageable, it really is. I’ve had to a lot more strenuous travel than this in my career. That’s one of the things that makes AEW, for me, so attractive is the schedule, and seeing these young guys develop. I wish I had the opportunity to help them develop more. I’ve been trying to do that in the last several weeks, just on my own, talking to talents. I’ll continue to do so because I enjoy it. It’s coaching, and I think that’s what I was put on earth to do, is to help coach these kids up a bit and give them hope and keep them positive. So we’ll see how that all works out.”
Jim Ross
Jim Ross is certainly more than happy to be working under Tony Khan in AEW, as it is likely he will be ending his career with the company. We’ll have to see what’s next in store for good ol’ JR.
