AEW announcer and Senior Advisor "Good Ole' J.R." Jim Ross took part in a fan Q&A session for the Top Guy and Push members of their Patreon page, where he talked about a number of topics such as how Alex Marvez is a major asset in what they do on air, especially all the notes he writes down on a sheet of paper and how he works very hard in getting it done as all the information he has is very valuable to them.
Jim Ross said:
“Alex Marvez, who you see doing interviews for our shows from time to time, Alex compiles all the match notes. In other words, he'll do a one sheet featuring one match and he'll have the win loss records and the appropriate data, and so that's kind of where we get our jumpstart. Scheduling is tough. Excalibur is a real note taker and prepares really nicely. That's something I hope I shared with him the importance of doing. So at least, you try to help the younger guys and bring them forward. Alex Marvez is a major asset in what we do on the air, a major asset, because you got to have those notes. You got to have the data in front of you. He does it, like I said, on one sheet. It's easy to manage and it's easy to study. You might not use everything that he provides you because just too much sometimes, but it's all valuable. There's no bad information. Alex works very hard getting that done.”
Jim Ross also talked about the controversial storylines and language the WWE used during the attitude era and how All Elite Wrestling has done things similar to that in the past, but there is going to be less of it moving forward.
Jim Ross said:
"I think you just got to use good common sense. I know that we had a string there in AEW where there was a lot of controversial language. I think you're gonna see less of that. It shows a lack of creativity if you can't come up with an adjective or an adverb that fits better than something that's a little coarse.”
