Jim Ross, legendary professional wrestling commentator and Hall of Famer, recently shared his thoughts on the departure of Brian Pillman Jr. from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). In the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Ross expressed his belief that Pillman will be just fine despite his contract not being renewed by AEW.
According to a report by Wrestling Headlines, Pillman’s contract with AEW expired and was not renewed, making him a free agent in the competitive wrestling market. Ross acknowledged this development but reassured fans that Pillman will have plenty of opportunities moving forward.
“Oh hell yeah, Brian’s got nothing to be… He wasn’t working. He’s not losing any ring time, he’ll have plenty of opportunities,” Ross said on his podcast. “He’s just got to structure his journey and be smart about the decisions he makes and get all of the in-ring time that he can, wrestle as many matches as you can schedule. He’s gonna be fine, he’s just gotta have his plan and work it. His career has taken a minor tumble, but not one that you can’t get up from.”
Ross emphasized that Pillman has the talent and versatility to succeed in the wrestling industry. He expressed confidence in Pillman’s ability to deliver exciting matches and adapt to different roles.
“I have a lot of confidence that he’s going to end up very successful in wrestling,” Ross stated. “For somebody that’s an indie guy and you want a good match on your show, he’ll provide that. Once the word gets out that it’s always a consistent thing, he can work heel or babyface, he can do all the spots. He’s got a lot of charisma. I think he’s going to be just fine at the end of the day.”
Pillman, who is the son of the late Brian Pillman Sr., has shown great potential throughout his career. His time in AEW allowed him to gain exposure and showcase his skills to a wider audience. While his departure from the company may seem like a setback, Ross believes that Pillman’s talent and work ethic will propel him to success in the long run.
In addition to discussing Pillman’s departure, Ross also provided an update on his own health and when fans can expect to see him back at the commentary table for AEW. For more details on Ross’s health update, you can visit Wrestling Headlines.
