If there is one man who knows a television rating war it's the legendary Jim Ross.
The AEW broadcaster was the lead announcer for WWE during the Attitude Era in the late 90s and early 00s, and he feels any comparisons to that period to now is not right.
During his most recent Grilling JR podcast, Ross said that the Wednesday Night Wars were nowhere near as extreme as the Monday Night Wars.
Here is what he said:
“I’m glad that there’s no more Wednesday Night Wars. 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.”
