Jim Ross, WWE Hall of Famer, one of the most iconic voices in professional wrestling over the last twenty years, remains an active figure in the industry as part of AEW Rampage's commentary team. In a recent Ask Me Anything segment on his Grillin JR podcast, Ross discussed his current role and explained why he believes his team, including Tony Schiavone and Excalibur, is the smoothest commentary team in wrestling today.
Ross acknowledged that his statement might come across as selfish. Still, he reiterated his belief that the trio, all play-by-play commentators, have a unique synergy in providing insight and excitement to viewers. "I believe that.
It sounds egocentric, sounds horrible, probably coming from me. So you got three play-by-play guys, and we all seem to interface pretty well," he said. One key aspect of their smooth collaboration is the team's ability to avoid talking over each other during matches, ensuring a coherent and enjoyable experience for fans.
Ross emphasized his enjoyment of working with Schiavone and Excalibur, stating, "We don't do a lot of walking on each other, so I enjoy working with Schiavone and Excalibur, and I hope — I'm comfortable doing that with those guys."
