Jim Ross On Ric Flair: “His Wrestling Days Are Essentially Over”

AEW announcer and Senior Advisor โ€œGood Oleโ€™ J.R.โ€ Jim Ross took to an episode of his โ€œGrilling Jrโ€ podcast to talk about a number of topics including how WWE Hall of Famer “The Nature Boy” is a star and he can contribute to pro wrestling in so many ways more than others, but his wrestling days are over.

Ross said, โ€œI think that he can contribute more than the vast majority of the populous of his world, of his vocation, and never wrestle; thatโ€™s just me.โ€ โ€œHeโ€™s a star. Ric Flairโ€™s a star and when heโ€™s on your TV, he brightens your star.โ€

โ€œI wasnโ€™t so sure what he was going to do because I really believe โ€” and this is going to sound negative, I donโ€™t want to sound negative โ€” that his wrestling days are essentially over. Heโ€™s 70-something, Iโ€™m 70-something; I get it.โ€
