Le légendaire commentateur Jim Ross poursuivra sa carrière à la AEW un peu plus longtemps.
Ross a mentionné sur son podcast Grillin JR qu’il a signé une prolongation de son contrat annuel, soit un an et demi de plus.
J.R. – qui a maintenant 70 ans – a manifesté sa gratitude à l’endroit de Tony Khan, car il peut ainsi continuer ce qu’Il aime faire.
“I don’t think we’ve made this announcement, but I signed an extension with AEW not too long ago. I appreciate Tony Khan’s confidence and his willingness to keep me on the team and contribute. We’re not going a long time, but I think I signed for about a year and a half or something like that to stay in the position I’m in. I’m just really pleased that at 70, I still have a future, and at 70, I’m still loving what I do.”
Ross a joint la AEW en avril 2019, étant à la table des commentateurs lors du premier événement, soit Double or Nothing.
En 2024, si Ross est toujours commentateur, ça lui fera 50 ans de carrière dans le monde de la lutte. Il espère bien sûr atteindre cet objectif.
“I want to get to 2024. I really do. That’s 50 years in the wrestling business. Not a lot of guys can say that they’re in the same job in a fickle, crazy-ass, unpredictable business like pro wrestling for 50 years. The good lord is looking down and cutting me a break, and if I can get to 50 [years in wrestling], I’ll be the happiest guy in Norman, Oklahoma.”
