Jim Ross thinks highly of FTR, but not so much of the "Dark Side of the Ring."
On his "Grilling J.R." podcast, the WWE Hall of Fame legend and current AEW commentator sounded off with his thoughts on the aforementioned tag-team consisting of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, as well as the documentary series from VICE TV that deals with controversial subjects from the world of pro wrestling.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the show where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On FTR’s recent matches with The Young Bucks and The Briscoes: “I thought the FTR rapidly elevated themselves to arguably the best tag team in the world. Their match they had recently with the Young Bucks was nothing but stimulating. I thought it was just terrific. The match they had with the Briscoes, I’d like to see that match returned, because I’d like to call it. I like the Briscoes game. They are really good.”
On VICE TV’s "Dark Side of the Ring" documentary series: “It’s mixed. I have some problems with some Dark Side editing. I thought I was misrepresented a time or two in the edit. But I mean, I admire those guys’ entrepreneurial spirit and I think it’s a good purpose, but I think sometimes they bite into the apple of the dirt. They narrow-cast a little bit too much for me, but I’m still going to watch their shows. I’m not sure I’ll be on any more of them simply because I had such unfortunate negative afterthoughts of it, but you know, you never know. Those guys are good guys and they mean well, but I think the edit was a little bit callous and not well thought out quite frankly. So I hope they continue to do those shows, and if they do, I’ll continue to watch and we’ll see. They should get better at what they do.”
