Jim Ross Explains Why He Picked Randy Orton As The Best Wrestler In The World

As previously reported, former WWE Star and current AEW commentator "Good Ole' J.R." Jim Ross took to his Grilling JR podcast, where he revealed that for him top WWE Star Randy Orton is the best wrestler in the world.

Jim Ross said, “Randy is at the top of his game right now. There’s nobody in WWE or anywhere else that’s better than Randy Orton in my view. I know he’s controversial in real life but there’s some magic surrounding that.”

Jim Ross once again repeated that statement and reiterated that WWE Superstar Randy Orton is the best wrestler in the world, but to others, especially his fans, AEW World Champion Kenny Omega is the best wrestler in the world.

Jim Ross said, “If he’s not, of course it’s subjective and only my opinion, there’s a lot of good ones out there right now.” “I don’t think anybody is any better than Randy Orton in the wrestling business. Of course that’s so subjective. I love Randy’s work, although I don’t watch it regularly enough to make a great evaluation, in the last several months that I have tuned in to watch some of Randy’s segments, he doesn’t disappoint. No matter how the creative is packaged to him, he doesn’t disappoint."

“I’m sure there’s Kenny Omega fans out there that would say Omega is the best wrestler in the world. Some will, and they got the right to their opinion and I’m not going to argue it. Omega is really frickin’ good. In any event, it’s a good time to be a fan. A lot of great talent out there, improving their game, adapting and adding things.”

Ross then talked about Christian Cage being a huge asset for the company right now and Christian Cage being at the point in his life and wrestling career, where he can share his knowledge and have a huge influence on the younger talent.

Jim Ross said, “We’re sure happy to have Christian Cage on our AEW team.” “Very steadying influence on some of the young guys. He’s at the point in his life where he knows he still has some gas left in the tank but he’s willing to share his knowledge and has the patience and the time and the willingness to do it. He’s a good asset for us right now.”
