Jim Ross comments on AEW Blood and Guts spot that he was “uncomfortable” with

As seen during the July 24th 2024 “Blood and Guts” edition of AEW Dynamite, Jack Perry took an unprotected chair shot to the head. Shortly after the Blood and Guts cage match, WWE announcer Corey Graves wrote a post that was seemingly a response to the spot but he ended up deleting it.

During his podcast, AEW personality Jim Ross addressed the spot…

“I can understand people’s concern, and by and large, I agree with them. I was uncomfortable with it, to be honest with you. But I understand why it was done, I understand the environment that were in on that show. When I saw it watching it here at home, I was mildly shocked that it came from such velocity and harmful intent.

Thank god I think they only used it once if I remember correctly, so it was … it’s tough, man. It’s how far do you go? What’s too much? What’s not enough? I would just suggest that there are ways to get the same violence without scrambling a guy’s brains.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
