On the latest Grilling JR podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross gave his thoughts on AEW Grand Slam:
Ross noted that he had no idea that The Great Muta would be on the show. He said, “I had no idea he was even gonna be there. So that’s good for me. I love those surprises. It was great seeing Muta. He really got his career launched there in WCW back in the day. Good thinking outside the box by Tony Kahn, I thought, to get those guys. It was quite the list of add ons.”
On Saraya’s AEW debut:
Paige, Saraya, I’m assuming she’s going to be healthy enough to wrestle. I don’t know. I’m assuming she is. So we’ll see. She’s a positive addition if so. So it’s good for the women’s division, I think. She was a good hand and still is a good hand. I’m hoping that she’s healthy enough to go.”
On The Acclaimed:
“Those kids got over. They’ve gotten over and it’s a pleasant surprise that they got over as they have. So, good stuff man. Some of these young cats are finding their home and I like it. I like that. Two good, athletic kids, and their little gimmick, the scissor me thing and all of that, seems to be working. Fans love it. It’s funny what gets over, how that works. If you told me six months ago that this is going to be a big deal, I would have said, ‘Well, we’ll see’, but it has been a good deal, so I’m happy for those kids. That’s what you want. You want guys to find their way and all that good stuff.”
This week’s Grilling JR covers the WWE Raw episode where Stone Cold Steve Austin stunned Vince McMahon for the first time.
