Current AEW and legendary commentator Jim Ross discussed the Wednesday Night Wars between AEW and NXT ending on his latest episode of Grilling JR.
Ross discussed how it should never have been referred to as a war as it was never on the same level of the Monday Night War between WWF and WCW in the 90s.
He also believes it’s been more positive for the 2 companies since NXT moved to a Tuesday night as both shows have seen a climb in the ratings.
“I’m glad that there’s no more Wednesday Night Wars,” Ross said. “That was just a cop out for the Monday Night Wars, it wasn’t nearly that extreme in my view. If you want to believe that and it helps motivate you as a fan and add more enjoyment to your game plan then have at it.”
During the podcast JR also discussed the announcement that AEW were heading back on the road touring starting in July.
“Doesn’t it make sense that an organization such as ours would want to go back on the road in front of a live audience?” Ross asked. Come on, why would that be a mystery? That’s what we do. Going back on the road is a no-brainer for a wrestling company.”
