Jim Ross explains how ex-WWE CEO Vince McMahon would've run AEW
AEW commentator Jim Ross has commented on how former WWE CEO Vince McMahon would've run All Elite Wrestling if he had been in charge of the promotion.
Vince McMahon is currently retired after stepping away from all his roles in WWE earlier this year. The 77-year-old even wrestled earlier this year at WrestleMania 38 against Pat McAfee, his first match in a decade.
While speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross was asked by a fan how McMahon would've run AEW. The legendary commentator said that the veteran promoter would've wanted to see less wrestling on the show.
"He probably would like less wrestling. Vince has never watched the first minute of AEW. I would venture to say he hasn't watched the first minute of any wrestling show since he's been gone," said the Hall of Famer.
He also stated that McMahon doesn't watch any wrestling shows and thinks that the latter may not have any feedback for AEW stars:
"You think he knows all about Darby Allin? Like he knows all about Orange Cassidy, right? 'What's an Orange Cassidy, JR?' Somewhere along the way, you've got to watch these shows, you've got to take the time to invest in the characters. So, I don't know that he would be able to give you a real good feel or good feedback," noted Ross. [H/T WrestlingInc]
