Jim Ross gives the AEW product a “solid B” grade and says the company’s challenge is to create new stars

During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, AEW personality Jim Ross commented on the state of the AEW brand. JR said he gives the company a “solid B” grade and elaborated on it…

“A lot of things that can be improved upon like anybody else’s company. AEW’s challenge right now to me is creating new stars. Somebody on that brand has got to get hot and that’s gonna be I think what they need now is somebody’s got to get hot. I’m not gonna go into all the reasons why somebody’s not and all that dirt sheet stuff. Nonetheless, we gotta get somebody hot.”

“Somebody’s gotta pull themselves up and tighten their belt and lets go. Creative can get you in the ring but once you get in the ring, it’s up to the talent at that point, in my estimation.”

JR said the following about the positives in AEW…

“Homegrown talent stepping up and working main event style matches. Example, Darby Allin. Darby’s style in the ring might not be everybody’s cup of tea. However, he’s unique. He’s different. He kind of has Jeff Hardy in him from back in the day…I think some of these young cats have come into their own. It’s heartwarming. They want to live their dreams. I know we hear that a lot. I know it’s cliche as hell. But they want to live their dreams and now working on these pay-per-views gives them the opportunity to do so. I’m a big fan of living your dream…” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
