During the most recent episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross talked about the live crowd at last Friday’s AEW Rampage in Chicago where CM Punk made his debut with the company.
“It’s been great, a blessing quite frankly,” Ross said. “Takes you back to a different time, different place quite frankly to many of us. It’s very Attitude Era-esque. The signs, posters, noise, enthusiasm from start to finish, it’s just been glorious.
“Rampage has been received well, people like what they’re seeing there. I think they’re happy to have a show on Friday nights to cap off the week. It’s all good, good momentum and it’s all thanks to the fans. We appreciate their support, help build our brand and we’ll continue to do that and work hard every week.”
