Jim Ross was never particularly fond of working with The Ultimate Warrior.
During a recent edition of his Grilling J.R. podcast, the AEW commentator spoke about whether or not he was ever excited to work with the late WWE Hall of Fame legend.
Featured below is an excerpt from the show where he talks about Warrior being "a giant pain in the a** to work with."
“No, I wasn’t [excited] because I knew he was gonna be a giant pain in the a** to work with. If he had the magic and the commitment and the energy that he once possessed and brought to the table, then hell yes. Who wouldn’t be excited? Because it means he’s gonna draw you some money and it’s gonna be good for the company, etcetera, etcetera.”
“I didn’t think he was gonna get back over [become popular again]. You’re kind of waiting on him to tear something, he’s so heavily muscled. He was always a problem child… dressing room lawyer, as the boys liked to say, so I wasn’t overwhelmed with it. If it worked, good for us, but I didn’t think it was gonna work.”
