What did "Good Ole' J.R." think of the surprise in-ring return of "The Texas Rattlesnake" on "The Grandest Stage of Them All" earlier this month?
Jim Ross weighed in on the latest edition of his "Grilling JR" podcast with his thoughts on the impromptu in-ring return of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38.
Additionally, the AEW commentator and WWE Hall of Fame legend also sounded off with his thoughts on the Pat McAfee vs. Austin Theory and Vince McMahon matches.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the episode where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
On his thoughts on the actual match between Austin and Owens from WrestleMania 38: Night 1: “He and I talked going into that thing and we communicated on Saturday after the show. He seemed to be really happy and almost relieved that they pulled it off. He and Kevin Owens deserve a hell of a lot of credit for what they did. To show you what kind of ballplayer Austin is, he hadn’t been on the field for 19 years or something like that and he didn’t look like he missed a step. They kept the match in their lane. I thought that was really smart how they strategized and laid out that match. It was just absolutely a masterpiece in my view, and Kevin Owens deserves a lot of credit as well. You gotta have a dancing partner to make these things work, and Steve had a great dancing partner."
On Pat McAfee's performances against Vince McMahon and Austin Theory at WrestleMania 38: Night 2: “Pat McAfee had a great WrestleMania and he’s one of those guys that has unique abilities to identify with the audience. He has done that. His accomplishments in the match I thought far exceeded my expectations. So congrats. I congratulated him that night on Twitter."
