surprised nobody made a thread on this but even for JR, tonight was sooooooooo bad
you’d be having these all time classic matches and his ass would be like “Janetty didn’t tie his shoes the right way” while matt jackson is writhing in pain on the floor
dude just sounds pissed off at all times and doesn’t like a lick of the show, what is he doing out there and did you notice his deal?
anyone else appreciate him for the great moments in the past but wanna moxley their ears when his coworkers start stumbling trying to cover for the next crazy ass thing he said?
why is he out there?

JR was really good for a brief spell in the WWE before turning into a caricature of himself. Now he’s just there to collect a fat stack and is old, tired, and waiting for Oklahoma’s football season to start.
Somehow he’s still better than Kevin Kelly though. I have no idea how this guy has an announce job anywhere. Dude would get fired from announce at Little League he’s so bad.

Nigel handled him pretty well, there's was a respectful but noticeable "yeah yeah, okay grandpa"
Nice change from Excalibur and Tony just trying to talk around the awkwardness like JR's a racist relative at Xmas dinner.

I thought even by his standards he was absolutely awful tonight.
On such a special night for AEW he seemed grumpy and miserable, it was like he couldn't wait to just shit all over the product. This guy was lead commentator for the attitude era where it was often total chaos and the rules didn't matter, how many Stone Cold matches would have a section where they would brawl outside for ages with no count out? Almost all of them?
I don't understand why now 25 years later he's suddenly obsessed with the rules. He's also got zero chemistry with any of the other announcers.
By the time he was sarcastically asking why does everything have to be golden during the Golden Elite match and then moaning about guys wearing new gear on the show I was just laughing at the ridiculousness of him.
Whenever his current contract runs out, Tony Khan needs to shake his hand thank him for his work for the company and let him go. He's brutal.

One of the best ever, but has been really hit or miss (mostly miss IMO) for the last 20 years.

Rough tonight, absolutely and completely out of it and seemed miserable with everything
When he asked why everything was Gold with the Golden Lovers it was a breaking point, dude just fits less and less with modern wrestling

One of the best ever, but has been really hit or miss (mostly miss IMO) for the last 20 years. He may have been past his peak but I still think he was really good until around 06-07. Once he was drafted to Smackdown in 2008 though he really fell off a cliff with just brief glimpses of his old greatness after that point (the Taker-HHH cell match).

When he’s on form he’s worth carting out for big shows but he doesn’t add anything to shows nowadays. He’d be far better off doing sit down interviews etc.

Fair enough, I wasn't watching anymore at the time so I can't really say anything about that period.

Best thing about being at the show was not having to hear his voice
At first when this conversation would be brought up, I’d try to be respectful of him and his legacy but as time has went on I no longer do. He is there solely because he has f*** all to do and rather than take up a hobby he’s going to show up and p*** all over AEW until Tony says otherwise
