Jim Ross Moving To Make AEW Dynamite Return

That’s some serious dedication. AEW has not been around that long and need all of the big helps that they can get. Anything that they can do to get fans’ attention, while still being positive of course, is a good thing and that is what they had with some of their earlier hires. The spread of the Coronavirus kept one of those hires away from the company, though now things might be changing.

Aside from Chris Jericho, there is no bigger name in AEW than Jim Ross. While he is on the lower side of his career after all these years, Ross is still someone the fans are familiar with and he offers a certain feeling of nostalgia for a lot of fans. At the same time though, Ross is still a solid lead commentator today and a pretty good one at that. Now though, you are going to get to hear him more often.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ross is moving to Jacksonville until at least May 27 for the sake of avoiding having to fly from his home in Oklahoma to Jacksonville for AEW television every week. Ross has not appeared on a live AEW broadcast in over a month, though he did solo commentary on a match recorded in Jacksonville between AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and Jake Hager. There is no word on when Ross will return to television.

Ross has been busy in AEW. Check out some of his work:

Opinion: This is a good thing for the company as Ross is a different kind of star commentator. Tony Schiavone and Chris Jericho have been doing quite well in his absence, but there comes a point where you need Jericho in the ring as himself rather than on commentary. Hopefully this goes well as we go forward, as Ross can do a lot of good things for AEW when he is given the chance.
