Jim Ross is the voice of professional wrestling. And that is also a bad thing in a sense because you remember just how good the man used to be once upon a time in history. When you have him mistakenly refer to the promotion as AWA instead of AEW, there's a problem.
JR just called the promotion AWA. Oh dear.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
There were a lot of fumbles through the course of the night and as out of practice as Schiavone supposedly is, he seems far better at the job right now than Jim Ross. But there were moments when even Schiavone had some hilarious moments like - 'Vader Bomb? Is that what they call it now?'
While that was endearing in its own way, I do wonder if Jim Ross could step his game up in the coming week to tell better stories from the booth. I wonder if anyone in the back has the ability to tell him to step up his game because most of them would have grown up watching him call the action, from the time that they fell in love with wrestling.
