Idgaf if they're "just jokes" or if he's just an "old timer"
A bake sale? Nah man, f*** off with that shit. He's had a year to dial it back or improve. He hasn't and he clearly doesn't care about half of the stuff on tv. He drags everything down.
What's Veda doing? Bring her in.

We get threads like this every few weeks and it changes nothing about the situation.
I get your frustration, and I agree if JR can't ship up with these comments something has to be done like replacing him in women's matches at the very least, but yeah, I'm more shocked that on a taped show that line wasn't cut out. Just made JR look bad.

He isnt good, we know that but didnt you say that you prefer Josh Matthews over him? Matthews is a walking calamity and probably one of the main reasons Impact cant evolve. (They lost that momentum from Slammy 2020 due to how fans disliked his commentary, that tells u how bad he is)

Ah ok, I got mixed up on their scheduling then. Great live show then, perfect time management |

What I said is I'll still take that over someone who is constantly making sexist remarks and shit. Like dude can f*** off with all of that bs. |

He can have off nights or the occassional stupid comment like this, that yes, aren't great But he does not actively have a large portion of the fanbase telling him to get off TV like Matthews has gotten or Michael Cole. JR's simply not at that level in a majority sense because he's just not terrible every time he shows up. |

He's the greatest commentator of all time but in 2020 he just can't be trusted with a live mic, he's had more than enough strikes at this point he's just too set in his ways and he needs to go.

Damn, I didn't even get to watch the show yet What he do this time? A crack about Heels doing bake sales, and the ever-creepy usage of "females" as a noun. Just in general his struggle to talk about women in any terms except very cringey ways. (We got the requisite "jezebel," of course.) The way he actively undermines things that AEW wants to make money with, all on account of sexism, is just galling. |

Cringe moment. I really wish they would take him off women's matches. He just doesn't get it. Butttt, it's not changing because he's a legend. I'm very sure someone will talk to him about why that was bad, and Excalibur quickly moved away from it, and in a month he'll say something dumb again. It is what it is.

Yeah, all of that sounds pretty bad, even for his blimps. Especially when it’s on stuff AEW is actively trying to promote.
He really does still have his moments and can make a moment bigger but honestly, after watching the full season of The Titan Games, Tony Khan should call up Dwayne Johnson and give him what he wants for Goldenboy’s contract and put him in the spot full time.

It's odd at this point he doesn't understand quips like this could cost him his job, they're already costing him fanfare. |

Either just run Excalibur and Schiavone as your PBP team or replace JR with someone like Veda Scott.

She's reconnecting with her significant other according to reports so she's been off commentary lately for a reason That being said if JR can't get out of his own way I agree they need someone else, Starks would be cool, hell bring Medusa back |

She did just get engaged to her boyfriend “Speedball” Mike Bailey today and they haven’t seen each other in months so yeah, sort of understandable. |
