AEW UNRESTRICTED 05/14/20: EXCALIBUR

Excalibur meeting Jim Ross in AEW: "At first he was skeptical. He saw me in the mask and he said what the hell is this? You know the announcer's job is to put over the product in the ring, not themselves. I said I know; I hope I can earn your trust. I hope you can see the job that I do is all about promoting the in ring product. He said, ok, we will see. We called a few hours of matches that were on tape and initially he said he was going to do play by play, Excalibur you do analysis, Marvez you do color like statistics. Slowly after we did a couple matches, things started shifting to me doing the play by play, J.R. doing some color, Marvez doing the color. Depending on the type of matches, we would shift roles back and forth. I think that's ultimately the formula that we adopted for AEW. On certain types of matches that are more traditional style pro wrestling, J.R. takes the lead and on matches that are more fast paced, 2010's or 2020's professional wrestling style, I'll take the lead on that. It is not something we discussed. It is something that happened organically."
