#1 Jim Ross gives his take on AEW signing multiple former WWE superstars

Legendary broadcaster Jim Ross recently stated that AEW signing former WWE superstars doesn't mean they're initiating a war with them.
Tony Khan and the company have recently found themselves under the scanner of criticism for bringing up former WWE superstars into their company. In recent times, legendary superstars like Sting, Christian Cage, Paul Wight, and even Mark Henry left WWE to pursue their passion in AEW. Even young sensations like Malakai Black and Andrade are working for Tony Khan.

Speaking during the latest episode of his 'Grilling JR' podcast, Jim Ross explained that the AEW signings of former WWE superstars will not initiate a wrestling war against them as the company is itself keen on elevating their status in the wrestling business. He further added that the war had been an image created by some homegrown younger fans:
It’s a weak argument. They’re WWE lite. I don’t agree with that, and I’m not knocking WWE. I had 26 great years there and I’m not anti-WWE. I don’t feel like we’re in a wrestling war. The war is AEW against itself – getting our young guys to continue to evolve and get better. I think we’re seeing that. Some of your homegrown kids are starting to find their way. There’s a big difference in working in PWG or an indie show and working a match on a national television show. It’s a different mindset and a different ballgame…..I just believe we’ve got some talent and I love watching the evolution of it," Jim Ross said.
Jim Ross has revealed that he believes in the betterment of every wrestling promotion out there. He even loves watching NJPW because of their breathtaking matches.
