Every person involved in wrestling have to retire, which can make for some tricky situations. It can be a big deal when someone announces the end of their careers but now another legend is teasing doing just that.

During a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, AEW’s Jim Ross said that 2024 will likely be his final year as an announcer in professional wrestling. While he said it was not certain, this is likely the case, though Ross did say the situation could change. Ross, 72 years old, recently signed a new one year deal with AEW and says he believes he is only working pay per views. Ross also detailed various health issues he has been dealing with, some of which have reportedly kept him from appearing more frequently.

Ross has done well in AEW. Check out what he has done so far in the company:

Opinion: I’m not sure how big of a surprise this is, as Ross has barely been working most of the time these days and his age/health are both becoming bigger factors. At the end of the day, there are only so many ways to get around those problems. Hopefully Ross can make a few more appearances, as he is still good enough to be behind the microphone as he has done for so long.

What do you think of Ross’ time in AEW? How can he be best used there? Let us know in the comments below.
