You really going to pull that card on something so obviously wrong Ita not really wrong though. These women arent in bra and panties stripping each other every week, they get to be competitive and go hard like their male counterparts. So i dont trip on JR's freudian slip cuz he was literally the voice to THAT generation, and expect no less It is not a freudian slip when it happens so frequently The voice of that generation wasn't the horny hound dog or sexist commentator, that was King. What was said 20 plus years ago is not going to fly today. Saying women are going to a bake sale is some 1950's stay in the kitchen bullshit. It's not funny. He's not a comedian. He's a wrestling commentator and nothing about equating bake sale and your women wrestlers enhances them one bit

Dude what? Don't even try that shit with me. I'm not American so I don't watch SNL so I have no clue what he said but I do know Bill Burr is a comedian and is known to make jokes like that. It's his job. JR is an old man commentator who often makes dumb remarks and tries to pass them off later as jokes. It's funny how he never makes any off colour jokes about the men. Dude is a relic from the past and needs to go Im Canadian and watch plenty international television, so whats your point by saying youre not american?? Because SNL is not available in my country?

At the very least, they need to get JR off commentary when the women are around. Hire a female commentator for all the women's matches, if not for the whole show. Veda Scott was working well, though I know she is currently in Canada getting a ring on her finger with her husband that can't enter the US. Sarah Shockey does Black Label Pro and is one of the best commentators in all of the indies. Val Capone does commentary for Freelance and Warrior Wrestling in Chicago and is also very qualified for the job. They've got no reason to undercut their women's division or their AEW Heels project by having Jim Ross making shitty comments during their matches.

I’m reminded of the scene from Seinfeld when he’s mad at his dentist for telling Jewish jokes. He’s not upset as a Jewish person, he’s upset as a comic.
I’m a considerably less successful comic. I’m not offended by what JR said. I think it’s dumb, regressive to what his company is building, and not funny. It’s just not a funny line. So that makes it pretty pointless. Then to be arrogant enough to respond like he did....I guess it’s nice to buy your own hype. He’s still got flashes of greatness but I think JR should wrap up this full time play by play gig.

It is also bold to assume no on here likes risky humor.
I absolute love south park ,there is defintely ways to make risky and sex base jokes without being straight up sexist.
like if he had said " there is no bake sales" or even "they are gonna do a bake sale and then kick your ass" it changes completely. It plays into the old steortype while not being sexist

Not exactly surprised this thread absolutely derailed halfway through... In the end whether you think it's insensitive or not, I think I agree with Dave the Dave the most... it just wasn't a funny joke. It's not that we didn't get it, it just wasn't funny and added nothing to the conversation of trying to sell AEW Heels as a product. He did immediately put the talent over in the ring after the fact if you listen to the exchange, which is good, but he needs to stop backing himself into this corner where people who don't think what he said is funny need to "Get over it" or something. You've been doing this a long time JR, read the room man.

AEW has not cared about women consistently, that's documented However, having someone on commentary f*** over the time they do get and the best they probably have looked in a while does it no favors AEW has a million steps to take to get their shit together on the topic of women's wrestling, but they absolutely need somebody in the booth who isn't a time bomb of sexist remarks. This has been going on forever now. Pervy comments like his talk of 'happy endings' during a match with Japanese women, his comments about wanting Anna Jay to have a wardrobe malfunction, to his insensitive 'bake sale' shit here, and even past it to some way more substantive burials. When Excalibur talked up Rosa also being a champion in Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ross shit all over it as being some weird niche thing only a dork like Excalibur would know, it actively diminished the point of expressing how much of a big deal Rosa is as a decorated, globe-trotting champion. But Ross will talk up and down about peoples' college football pedigrees because that's something he's into, or even just talk about the football team of the college they went to. Because he sees one as important and very clearly sees the other as not being, to a really transparent degree. His refusal to care aobut women's wrestling undermines his position in the booth and it undermines any effort they want to make to improve the prominence of women in their product.

Dude what the f*** are you even talking about at this point? Jesus christ. Just stop. I speak pretty clearly, and fluently in english. So any issues you have understanding the direct request i made of another user to explore the deep seas of thw internet for the illest truth bomb of 2020, thats a YOU issue bruh You can't even spell 'the' correctly or use an upper case 'I' when you're supposed to and you said 'illest' in an actual sentence. Any seriousness we can take your opinions is long since over.
