Jim Ross reveals what drove him to sign with All Elite Wrestling.
The AEW announcer only recently returned to the AEW Collision booth after taking some time off after the debut of the show earlier this summer. Ross has suffered through several health issues in recent years, but has been supported by AEW through it all.
Speaking at Starrcast, Ross was asked what sold him on AEW.
“Enthusiasm. His enthusiasm is infectious, and it never changes to any degree, which I admire him for that because he’s been in battle and challenged, and unnecessarily so. He doesn’t deserve it. He’s paying everybody a good wage to work at this company. More of us should be thankful for that. It sure as hell beats the unemployment line. I’m not as in dire straights as some of the young guys with families and mortgages. My family is grown, they’ve left the next. I don’t have any mortgages,”
