Some in the Shida/Rosa match (essentially trying to make a lewd joke about if the ladies would like his sauce) and the eight-man tag in which he made some comment about Anna Jay having a wardrobe malfunction And didn't someone in AEW this weekend just talk about Al Snow making sexist remarks to them when they were training Abadon did about Al Snow, made some shitty and juvenile joke that if a match she and Heidi Howitzer had was a dildo on a pole match that he thought they'd be more motivated.

Isn't AEW trying to sell Anna Jay as some sort of sex symbol/goddess right now anyway? Not that the old man drooling over her on commentary is needed (always hated Lawler's commentary for example, not one good year...), regardless. I don't think there is any illness there, he's just starting to become lil' demented and so on. Honestly, she's been coming off more as this woman unleashed with viciousness by the Dark Order. Sure, she's good looking but most of her character has either been about her blue chipper potential and how crazed she's been since changing things up. Yeah, any amount of sex symbol stuff is purely fandom-based as far as I can see. There's some subtext that Brodie is giving her special treatment because she's an attractive figurehead for his cult, but that's as far as it goes.

He's turning into Jerry Lawler! Nah, Anna Jay would be way too old for Lawler.

Wow, just wow, I hadn't heard about this. What a shitty thing to say.

Excuse me, what the f*** Yep, Al Snow's a prick. He also made comments about Abadon's weight, I think, I forget, and shit on her gimmick by saying she isn't Undertaker, so she shouldn't do it. Like, just total head-assery.

At this point it may be good just to bring JR in for the PPVs or big matches on Dynamite. If this were to happen I’d have tony be lead on commentary with Taz and Excalibur to fill out the team. (As much as I don’t like Excalibur it makes sense for him to be there.)

Can't really critique him that much since I don't watch much AEW, but Would it be an inaccurate hot take if I said his heart is still with WWE?

It's just weird, because he was always such a damn pro in WCW and WWE. Even during the attitude era, he played it straight.
But now, in 2020 he makes these jokes? Jim, cmon

JR heart is with anyone who pays him a paycheck He's Team AEW, he just isn't good anymore I don't fully agree that he still can't add to moments and still make great calls. But stuff like this does him no favors. All he has to do is call the match and have some small quips and such with Excalibur and Tony. He should know at this point especially with the SpeakingOut movement that those jokes aren't gonna be taken well.

JR's been super horny, especially on Twitter ever since his wife passed away.

Even without all this creepy thirsting over Anna Jay stuff I still think AEW would be much improved by getting rid of JR.
He's clearly trying hard, unlike in NJPW where his complete lack of care or effort was almost funny in how blatant it was, but he just doesn't have it anymore.
He still confuses and forgets peoples name and when he isn't invested in a match or angle he doesn't do a good job of hiding it. The snarky comments he makes annoys me too.
There was a revealing moment a few weeks ago where JR was moaning about who the legal man was in a tag match, but it was a tornado tag match and Taz sounded annoyed when he had to point that out to JR.

He's a living legend, he's going to have some decent moments just cause he is actually trying But yeah, he's at that point of weathered were he isn't keeping it professional all the time and he's been that way for about 10 years if not more depending on who you talk to

The way he was talking about jungle boy's body was uncomfortable too.
Honestly the whole show has had a weird sexually frustrated vibe recently, Jake's nut based promo being the most odd.

He's awful. His whole schtik is trying to make wisecracks about everything like he's watching the product with his drinking buddies and not as the commentator for the audience.
In a product that prides itself on being fresh and different he sticks out like a sore thumb.

Like, he has no reason to care. It's weird though, because, the way he ever speaks in interviews, he has said he loves commentary, and it gives him a reason to get up in the morning. He's stated he isn't content just sitting at home and that the AEW job has essentially helped change his life since his wife passed. I know it's a thing that JR says a lot of good things about the person who is paying him lately, but he wasn't gonna have a WWE job and that's basically what he was doing until AEW came to him, and I do think he is grateful. It genuinely sounds like AEW commentary has helped JR a lot as has the job and being around everyone. I'd say if you wanna ease him off commentary a bit aside from bigger matches, it would be a good time to incorporate Veda Scott into things.

I’d rather have a full nerd squad.
Excalibur, Veda, Tony. With Taz occasionally to un nerd it.
