Brian Fowler Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Do Jose and Joel still wrestle at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose last wrestled in 2013 and Joel last wrestled in 2016 from multiple sources, so, your answer is no. I never knew there was a third brother who didn't wrestle very long and also not anymore. Like the lost third Young Buck~! Only, probably even less talented than that one. Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Just to have it on record AEW has officially announced signing Jim Ross for 3 years. He is being billed as Senior Advisor In their press release it was dubbed "the most lucrative deal in pro wrestling commentary" history and that is making me giggle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, they'd have to actually have broadcasts to actually hear him. Edited April 3, 2019 by Raziel 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 They have also announced that Justin Roberts is the ring announcer and Alicia Atout is the backstage correspondent Atout had just been announced as leaving Impact and had worked All In so that isn't a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 What's Ross even going to talk about during matches? No one on the AEW roster played college football. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Ross gets rightfully shit on for his NJPW work, but I imagine he’ll take this job more seriously than he did that glorified moonlighting gig. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 I probably should just make a separate thread for PROGRESS in the WWE minor league folder but Kyle O'Reilly was announced for the SSS16 (which goes along with Trevor Lee being previously announced) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) I thought Cornette calling Teddy Hart matches on MLW was up there, but JR having to call a Joey Ryan match might be mind blowingly awesome. ”This Joey Ryan, well, he has an educated package I guess you could say” Edited April 3, 2019 by Ultimo Necro 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I don't care about JR being signed, but Excalibur, Alicia Atout and Justin Roberts are good signings. Although I don't know if you could consider Excalibur one, since he still runs/announces for PWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also explains some of the sillier stuff really well, like Konnan getting shanked or Daga’s ear getting ripped off, felt really old school 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'm not surprised he's good. Even with stuff he doesn't like, Jim takes wrestling too seriously for him to ever bury something on a show he's working on. He knows his job is to get things over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Youtube show made it seem like JR would be announcing at this point I'm more than okay with him working with them but not in a full-on commentator role. Excalibur and Marvez seem like a great pairing and I'm glad to see Justin back to announcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
