Is Jim Ross old?
Yes.
Is Jim Ross aware of that fact?
Obviously.
"Good Ol' J.R." responded to fan criticism of his age following his most recent appearances on All Elite Wrestling programming, which featured the legendary pro wrestling commentator in sit-down interviews with Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson ahead of their career vs. title main event for the AEW World Championship at AEW All In: London this Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
"I’m sure there will also be plenty of people watching that will say, ‘Boy, JR looks old.’ Hey, guess what, Einstein? I am old," Ross said on his 'Grilling J.R.' podcast. "What the f**k do you want? I’m being a little bit of a turd, but I’m excited."
Tell'm, J.R.
As noted, Ross has mentioned that he is scheduled to call the aforementioned Strickland vs. Danielson main event at this Sunday's highly-anticipated AEW pay-per-view event.
"I appreciate Tony Khan having the faith in me to bring me over," he said. "It should be a classic, and there’s nothing on the card that could follow it. So it’s gonna go last, I’m sure."
