Jim Ross spoke with Tony Khan about his AEW contract
The WWE Hall of Famer has been on and off from AEW television. During an episode of the Grilling JR podcast, he opened about the status of his contract and the most recent conversation he had with Tony Khan.
“I’m very blessed. Tony Khan has answered a lot of my prayers, and I hope to continue working for AEW for the foreseeable future,” Jim Ross said. “That’s our goal, that’s Tony’s goal, that’s my goal. Tony and I had a nice chat about my contract last week at TV. So things are moving along well in that regard. I’m sure that between Barry Bloom, my agent, and the legal department at AEW that they’re gonna get something worked out. That’s my belief. I’m being positive and optimistic.
“This is the best scenario for me that I could imagine, working for a young company where when you go to work, you feel invigorated. You feel excited, you’re around a lot of great young talent that want to be stars. This group of talents, they work their ass off. The only thing I’d like to do more of, call more then just the main event, but that’s not my call. I’m running the plays, baby. Just put me in the game, coach. I’m ready to roll. I appreciate all that. Tony Khan has been a blessing to me, providing me an opportunity to work in the business that I still love. Better days, more good days lie ahead. Life is good,” Jim Ross said.
