It was a big weekend for wrestling fans, as there was plenty of content to watch thanks to Evolve, AEW and WWE.
A potential war between AEW and WWE seems to be heating up, but it doesn’t sound like fans should expect Jim Ross to mention WWE while he’s doing commentary work on the air for AEW.
The WWE Hall of Famer noted on the Steve Austin Show that he doesn’t ever plan on mentioning WWE unless he’s ordered to.
“That’s part of it, yeah, absolutely. A lot of it is the youthful [piss and vinegar]. I think that there is a difference. You’ll never hear me say ‘sports entertainment’ on our air. I don’t plan on ever mentioning WWE’s name on our air. Unless I’m ordered to, I see no reason in it. If the other guys choose to do that and it’s okay with the office, that’s what they want, then have at it. To me, downplaying them or dissing them is childish and unprofessional Mickey Mouse bulls**t.”
