Jim Ross Addresses Those Calling For His Retirement

During the latest edition of Grilling JR, AEW commentator Jim Ross addressed some of the criticism heā€™s been facing lately.Ā 

Transcribed by AIPT, here is the full transcript of what he had to say:

"It kind of reminds me of the stuff Iā€™ve been getting a little bit online. Thereā€™s a young audience thatā€™s criticizing my work, and I donā€™t have a problem with them criticizing my work. Everybodyā€™s opinion is as good as the next guy. Thatā€™s one thing.

I donā€™t want people that follow me on Twitter to jump on and beat up on some people, because if you look at their Twitter information, they have a picture, theyā€™re young kids, younger kids, teenagers, early ā€˜20s, and they have you know, anywhere from zero to twenty followers. So itā€™s not as if these people are learned, experienced, long-term fans to the level that they can critique somebody. But you try to be nice to ā€˜em, make fun, not make fun but have some fun with it.

I had some little girl that said I should retire and I said ā€œWell would you buy me a nice retirement gift?ā€ [laughs] So what are you gonna do? But thatā€™s how it is.

That was a little disheartening. When you work your ass off Conrad, for forty effing years in the business that you love and youā€™re still trying to do it, itā€™s a little disheartening when people that donā€™t know you or know how hard it is to do this work are gutting and quartering you. Itā€™s not a fun thing.

But Iā€™ve got to get past that, Iā€™m too damn old to worry about it. And I can only do my best. If you donā€™t like my work folks, donā€™t listen to it. Thatā€™s all I can tell ya. Move to a god damn television. Hell, I donā€™t know what you want me to say. Cause I ainā€™t quittin. I ainā€™t retiring and Iā€™m not gonna leave my spot. I think most people would agree thatā€™s the way to do it."
