Jim Ross has seen a lot of wrestlers rise to the top of the business throughout his career, and his personal relationship with Steve Austin has been well documented. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is without a doubt one of the biggest names of all time, and it looks like there’s at least one AEW star who reminds Jim Ross of Austin.
During a recent episode of his Grilling JR podcast the WWE Hall of Famer discussed Jon Moxley, and he explained why he thinks Moxley is the closest thing to Stone Cold.
“[Jon] Moxley is the closest thing I’ve seen in pro wrestling like Stone Cold, since Stone Cold. Attitude, body english, facial expressions, legitimate intensity, absolutely phenomenal.”
Ross also went on to say that he’s in love with the AEW roster, and that the AEW fans attending recent events remind him of fans from the Attitude Era.
“I’m just in love with our roster, the guys are having so much fun. Our audience because they’re younger, they come prepared. They have their signs, posters, it reminds me of the Attitude Era as far as audience participation. It’s a really good time to be a wrestling fan no matter which brand you support, I’m a really big believer in if you’re a wrestling fan, be a wrestling fan of all of them. Don’t go out of your way to piss on something that’s not on fire. It’s a great time to be a fan.”
