Jim Ross shares his thoughts on Jerry Lawler wanting to get in the ring again.
Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, WWE Hall of Famer and current AEW personality Jim Ross reacted to Jerry “The King” Lawler’s recent comments about wanting to return to the ring, hoping his old commentary partner does not go through with it.
“Well, you know, after being around him all weekend and loving him like I do, I hope not, I don’t see how he could do it,” Ross said. “He’s like me. He doesn’t get around real quickly, and his balance is suspect. He loves the business so much. It’s his life. Connie, it’s his f**king life, and he’s having a hard time separating from his long, 50-plus-year established life to not.
“Hey, if he wants to have another match, and he can have another match, and if he had a match. I certainly support it, but I don’t see it happening,” Jim Ross added. [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
Jim Ross Believes WWE Did The Right Thing With John Cena’s Last Match
Speaking in another episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross noted that WWE made the right decision by having Gunther defeat John Cena in his retirement match.
“I thought it was the right call,” Jim Ross said. “John Cena is a legacy; winning or losing was not going to affect that. He was already a made man. Tony Soprano did not need to shoot one more person to be a badass. He’d already killed plenty, and he was the guy.
“Here’s a guy that’s really made his body. Have you seen those pictures of Gunther a few years ago? God damn. I think he’s a blessing, and I think that they did the right thing. I’m a big fan of his,” Jim Ross said. “I guarantee you one thing. Of everybody on the WWE roster, and they’ve got some great talent, but if I had a territory and I just won the lottery, and I’m going to start my own territory and I got to do a draft, I promise your ass, Gunther will be near the very top echelon.
“He’s got character. He’s got integrity. He takes care of himself. He looks good. He’s got one of the great looks in wrestling. So, I think they did the right thing, and because I don’t think you could do anything to hurt Cena.”
