Jim Ross, the legendary commentator, recently made his return to AEW at the August 12th edition of Collision. Ross had been absent from the wrestling scene since early June due to health issues, including a fall on the morning of the premiere Collision episode. However, he was back in the booth last Saturday, calling the main event matchup between CM Punk and Ricky Starks alongside Nigel McGuinness and Ian Riccaboni.
In a recent episode of his Grillin Jr podcast, Ross shared his thoughts on his return and the experience he had being back in the commentary booth. He expressed his excitement and mentioned how he wondered if he could maintain his timing and fit in with the two new commentators, Ian and Nigel. However, he had a great time working with them, praising their preparation, selflessness, and listening skills.
Ross emphasized the importance of listening to your fellow commentators, stating that it helps “connect the dots” when telling a story. He had a blast during the match between CM Punk and Ricky Starks, with Steamboat, describing it as excellent.
