Jim Ross Says American Wrestling Fans Aren’t Getting What They Want, Says Today’s Genre “Isn’t Cool”

– Global Force Wrestling released the latest (10th) part of their interview with Jim Ross promoting the January 4th NJPW PPV from the Tokyo Dome on their YouTube channel. In part 9 above, JR criticized American wrestling and the lack of desire to please fans.

“I think GFW has the chance to be very successful because the North American fan base are not getting what they want,” JR said. “Social media would indicate such. Empty seats indicate such. Small attendance indicates such.

“The professional wrestling product in America right now is not red hot. I wish it were! I wish every company that does this for a living was making money hand over fist, nothing would make me happier. But that’s not the case right now. So you hope that Global Force Wrestling is paying attention to the fact that today’s genre isn’t cool and isn’t giving fans what they want across the board.”
