Jim Ross gives praise to an AEW star for being a “student of the game”

During his Grilling JR podcast, AEW announcer Jim Ross commented on the potential of AEW star “Powerhouse” Hobbs…

“Yeah, he’s a very good talent. I’ve been a supporter of Powerhouse Hobbs since he really started evolving. And he’s another guy that’s just coming back from an injury. He’s healthy, he looks great, strong as an ox. So I’m glad that he’s back on television. It’ll help the TV and it will help Hobbs obviously, to get more TV exposure. That’s the key thing. Guys should not keep track of how many wins or how many losses they have; they should focus on the match quality that they’re in. So ‘maximize your TV minutes’ is a good way of looking at that deal.”

“So yeah, Hobbs is a star. He’s going to be — I’m anxious to see where he ends up at the end of his run somewhere down the road. He’s a young guy, so he’s still got plenty of time left. But I’m a big fan of his and a proponent of his work, I think he can do — he has the ability to be much more significant in the big picture than not. Really talented, that was a good signing by Tony Khan. And Willie has made sure that this games evolves. He’s is a student of the game, he’s a wrestling fan and that always helps. I’m pulling for him too. It’s amazing how many great young talents that this roster has right now.” (quotes courtesy of 411Mania.com)
