AEW's Jim Ross thinks "Blood and Guts" match could have been better
AEW commentator Jim Ross commented that last week's "Bloods and Guts" match was good, but there's always scope for doing "something better."
The Pinnacle and The Inner Circle locked horns in the aforementioned match on the special episode of AEW Dynamite. The two factions brutalized each other in a violent contest that ended with MJF leading his stable to victory.
During the latest episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross revealed that while he liked the Blood and Guts match, for the most part, there's always room for improvement. JR stated that having as many as ten performers in the ring could have led to a disaster with everyone entering the match with their own "agenda."
The legendary broadcaster believes that a multi-man bout should be laid out in a manner that all the competitors get a "slice of the pie."
“I thought it was good,” Ross said. “Yanno, you can always do something better, but I thought it was a nice creative outing. When you get that many guys in the ring, it’s always a crapshoot, no matter how good they are, no matter how talented they are, there’s 10 agendas. Whether we want to admit that or not, there’s 10 agendas when you have a 10 man tag. Everybody wants to get something in in a match that should be laid out to where everybody gets a slice of the pie," said Jim Ross.
JR praised AEW President Tony Khan for having a long-term plan for every story by regularly holding production meetings. He further said that AEW is still a young company, growing and learning from its mistakes.
The legendary commentator concluded by saying the promotion was very pleased with the fan support and consistent good ratings in recent weeks.
“We’ve had some good creative, Tony Khan has done a nice job of keeping these stories dotted together and we’re having more production meetings as a group which has really been helpful. We’re like any young company, we’re still growing and learning and trying to get better. I thought our last several weeks of creative have been good and I’m glad the ratings are doing well, we appreciate everybody’s support there,” said Ross. (H/T - Wrestlinginc)
