With all due respect to a legend, he can f*** right off You got the other show showcasing 3 women matches, 10 women in total and teasing a new person coming in and you pull this stupid shit and undermine everything they are doing F*** off, cut his mic when the women are on On the upside, they did great showcasing the women this week, won't spoil anything but a lot went on, and the show overall was great too. This quip was just dumb on JR's part I am happy the women took a step forward this week and def going watch tonight or tomorrow BUT it sad that JR undermines all efforts with his stupid quips. I'm a bit surprised the women haven't complained at this point but maybe they are afraid because he's a legend at the helm

Either just run Excalibur and Schiavone as your PBP team or replace JR with someone like Veda Scott. Veda's in Canada unfortunately. 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 I’m curious what Mauro Ranallo is up to these days since leaving WWE. I understand his commentary style isn’t for everyone, but his combat sports experience might work well with AEW’s presentation format.

Why not just Tony and Excalibur 2 man booths are way better than 3 man booths IMO.

They don't even need to bring in somebody new, Taz is right there. It's not like commentating while managing heels ever slowed Heenan down.

I'm a bit surprised the women haven't complained at this point but maybe they are afraid because he's a legend at the helm I wonder sometimes if the women's division is, generally speaking, low on clout. I hope for Thunder Rosa to end up in AEW primarily because she seems pretty happy to bigtime them in a way that I can't imagine Shida, Britt, Nyla, Swole, or Statlander could do successfully, and in ways that I'm not sure Leva, Brandi, and Allie would be willing to do. Like, the men with major power behind the scenes are the biggest stars in the company. The women with power behind the scenes - Leva and Brandi - just are not in the same universe in terms of the consequences of displeasing them. Add in that Brandi in particular seems to have a pretty realistic idea of her ceiling as a wrestler - she's probably the only woman in AEW who is 100% booked appropriately to her abilities and no more, which says a lot about how underbooked many of them are - and it's easy to imagine a scenario where there isn't much of a strong voice against JR's crap.

Imagine if the Joshi were still around. That'd be a bigger pile of garbage than Moxley's living quarters.
Just keep it at Tony and Excalibur and have the occasional guest like they did tonight.

Well, the women def don't have any power I just think that they aren't directly confronting JR, probably going through other channels like Tony and Cody who may voice something to JR but not in a way that offends him This should stopped long ago. Like how out of shape JR got when Tony was reading tweets about JR commentary. If they told him to stop or else and he still continues, i'm sorry you fire his ass. Your seniority does not overrule people in charge and if people are uncomfortable with your commentary you better switch it up I think if the women told him as a group they don't like that shit, he would probably stop but JR is also the type to do the woe is me story as well.

I could honestly see JR say the women are being too sensitive and he didn't meant any harm. He might apologize and then go back to doing the same thing after a few weeks.

Sadly JR seems like a nice guy overall and a great talker.So I can see how some people feel unconfortable being harsh on him.But there is no excuses for this type of commentary ,something is needed to be done

That seems the most likely scenario to me. Like, the dude toned it down and was almost audibly watching his words for a bit after the one-two punch of the Anna Jay wardrobe malfunction joke and dismissing Rosa's TJPW title within a few weeks of each other. But, well, we can all tell he hasn't really learned anything even if he never makes a comment as horrifying as the Anna Jay one again.

JR has lost it. I mean what made him great before is all gone. Now he just a fumbling and says non with the times jokes. The bake sale joke was uncalled for and if I was a womens wrestler I would be lived. Just make it Tony and Excalibur. With the guest for a match here and there. Taz, Kingston, or Jericho all done well in that role. JR needs to stick to backstage roles at this point.
