Just remember, it could've been worse. It could've been 18 year old Billie Starkz vs. 99 pound Riho. Not gonna lie I've read this quick a few times as 99 pound Rhino

Will JR be the one to announce the signing of Billie on air this week?

Not playing devil's advocate because I didn't watch. Was it mentioned in ways that made it a sexual comment? Because mentioning a talents age to remind the audience that they a protege isn't inherently sexual.

Because mentioning a talents age to remind the audience that they a protege isn't inherently sexual. I didn't see it as being done in a sexual comment type way. I saw it as a way of trying to big her up by saying how good she is and to make her sound even better than he brought her age into it. Least that's how I see it.

Who was that guy in WWE whose whole gimmick was being 19 years old?
Kenny Something or Other, I only know about him because of this board

I saw this thread before watching the match and....I don't get it? JR mentioned it a few times in a way to put her over...but so did the rest of commentary. He just sounded amazed, impressed by her experience and put over how intelligent she was
He also tried very hard to sell how well she was doing despite the match being one of the most boring things I've seen since RAW's 90s gang wars lol

Also age inappropriate relationship with Victoria? That may have been a fever dream though...

Because mentioning a talents age to remind the audience that they a protege isn't inherently sexual. I think it was more the way he just kept mentioning it that weirded people out. Kind of how when he constantly harps on Riho being 99 pounds. For what it's worth, though, JR was the lead announcer for the bulk of his career and part of the job was to sell, sell, sell to the audience. Excalibur does it, but in his own way that doesn't seem as intrusive as when JR does it, but again, JR comes from a completely different background. I admit it CAN be unsettling at times, especially a man in his 70's talking about the age/body of much younger women, but I don't think he's trying to be overtly sexual when he does it, either.

Yeah, there was nothing sexual or creepy about the way JR said it. I don't think the thread would be as lighthearted as it is if people thought that.
It's more the fact that if you were playing a drinking game and took a shot every time JR mentioned it, you'd be in trouble.

JR has always been obsessed with age. "By gawd The Rock is a twenty seven year old ADONIS!"
In 2023 it's just unusual to hear JR try to put someone over...

Though I can't recall the last Jade match where the opponent got that much in. Billie even got to reverse Jaded the first time.

The LeBron James of the WWE…if you only focus on they were both super young when they debuted and not talent level. 😂
