They Don’t Have Anybody Hot - Jim Ross On WWE s Declining Ratings Posted By: Ben Kerin on Dec 28, 2020
WWE Hall Of Fame and current AEW commentator Jim Ross weighed-in on WWE s declining ratings over 2020 on the most recent episode of his Grilling JR podcast. They don’t have anybody hot.They have nobody that has momentum. Nobody is on the proverbial role. You can’t start, stop, 50-50 booking, I’ll beat you with a small package and then you beat me up; how do you get any [momentum]? ‘He did the job so I have to give him something back,’ what? Bulls–t. Not tonight, not now, it makes no sense. That’s 50-50 booking. You can’t have it both ways. Do you want the people to be happy or sad? Do you want them angry or do you want them laughing? ‘Well I want them both,’ well then, you’re an idiot! You can’t have that.

I first met Brodie back in 2007. We shared locker rooms in a few promotions, most notably CHIKARA and CZW. Even so early on, everyone knew Brodie was going to be a big deal. He was a fantastic pro wrestler. He just had a presence to him. We would regularly drive up to shows together and that’s where our friendship really began. Jon was a kind soul and so very helpful. He would always go out of his way to compliment you if he thought you had done well. He would never shy away from giving advice. Every room Jon would step in would light up. He was such a genuine, honest and funny person.
